ATmega328P-AU
The ATmega328P-AU is a surface-mount version of the popular 8-bit AVR microcontroller, optimized for performance and energy efficiency. Built using AVR’s RISC-based architecture, it delivers robust computational power with minimal instruction cycles — ideal for embedded systems, smart devices, and space-constrained applications.
Packaged in a TQFP-32 (Thin Quad Flat Package), it is suited for automated PCB assembly while providing all the core features of the ATmega328P line — including 32KB Flash memory, 1KB EEPROM, and 2KB SRAM. With 23 programmable I/O lines, three timers, ADC, and serial communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I²C), the ATmega328P-AU is a preferred choice for custom hardware designs, wearable tech, and industrial automation.

⚠️ Precautions & Tips
-
Ensure proper SMD soldering tools and reflow profiles are used to avoid pin bridging.
-
When programming without bootloader, use ICSP programmers like USBasp or AVRISP mkII.
-
For low-noise ADC applications, connect AVCC and GND properly and filter Vref if needed.
-
This version does not come with bootloader pre-installed — requires initial flashing if used standalone.
