ATMEL ATtiny25/V * ATtiny45/V ATtiny85/V * * Preliminary handbook
The ATtiny25/45/85 is a low‑power CMOS 8‑bit microcontroller based on Atmel's enhanced RISC AVR architecture. It offers 2/4/8 KB of flash, up to 512 B of EEPROM, 512 B of SRAM, six programmable I/O lines, a 10‑bit ADC, and multiple timer/counter modules, making it suitable for compact, power‑sensitive designs.
This handbook details the device's features, pin‑out diagrams for PDIP, SOIC and QFN/MLF packages, CPU core architecture, register set, and programming guidelines. It also includes code examples, resource links, and reliability information such as data‑retention and endurance specifications.
