The ATMEGA162-16AU is a 8-bit high-performance low-power AVR
RISC-based Microcontroller combines 16kB of programmable flash
memory, 1kB SRAM, 512B EEPROM and a JTAG interface for on-chip
debugging. The device supports throughput of 16 MIPS at 16MHz and
operates between 2.7 to 5.5V. By executing instructions in a single
clock cycle, the device achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per
MHz, balancing power consumption and processing speed. The AVR core
combines a rich instruction set with 32 general purpose working
registers. All the 32 registers are directly connected to the
Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), allowing two
independent registers to be accessed in one single instruction
executed in one clock cycle. The resulting architecture is more
code efficient while achieving throughputs up to ten times faster
than conventional CISC microcontrollers.
