Atmega16A Microcontroller

Atmega16A Microcontroller 

The ATmega16A is a high-performance 8-bit AVR microcontroller developed by Atmel (now Microchip Technology). It is a popular member of the ATmega family and is widely used in embedded, industrial, and educational applications.

The microcontroller is based on Harvard architecture with a RISC instruction set, allowing most instructions to execute in a single clock cycle. The ATmega16A integrates Flash program memory, SRAM, EEPROM, multiple I/O ports, timers, ADC, and serial communication interfaces on a single chip, offering reliable performance and flexibility.
