ATmega32A Datasheet – 8-Bit AVR Microcontroller
ATmega32A overview
The ATmega32A is an 8-Bit AVR Microcontroller made by Microchip Technology, supplied in these packages: 44-lead TQFP, 40pin DIP, 44-pad QFN Type. The absolute maximum ratings table on this page lists the 4 limits from the manufacturer's datasheet that must not be exceeded. This page brings together the ATmega32A pinout and maximum ratings, with the full datasheet PDF to preview below or download.
The ATmega32A is a low power, CMOS 8-bit microcontrollers based on the AVR® enhanced RISC architecture. The ATmega32A is a 40/44-pins device with 32 KB Flash, 2 KB SRAM and 1 KB EEPROM. By executing instructions in a single clock cycle, the devices achieve CPU throughput approaching one million instructions per second (MIPS) per megahertz, allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.

ATmega32A pinout

| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| VCC | Digital supply voltage |
| GND | Ground |
| Port A (PA7:PA0) | Port A serves as the analog inputs to the A/D Converter.Port A also serves as an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port, if the A/D Converter is not used. Port pins can provide internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port A output buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high |
| Port B (PB7:PB0) | Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port B output buf- fers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port B pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up r |
| Port C (PC7:PC0) | Port C is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port C output buf- fers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port C pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up r |
| Port D (PD7:PD0) | Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (selected for each bit). The Port D output buf- fers have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. As inputs, Port D pins that are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up r |
| RESET | Reset Input. A low level on this pin for longer than the minimum pulse length will generate a reset, even if the clock is not running. |
| XTAL 1 | Input to the inverting Oscillator amplifier and input to the internal clock operating circuit. |
| XTAL 2 | Output from the inverting Oscillator amplifier. |
| AVCC | AVCC is the supply voltage pin for Port A and the A/D Converter. It should be externally connected to VCC, even if the ADC is not used. If the ADC is used, it should be connected to VCC through a low-pass filter. |
| AREF | AREF is the analog reference pin for the A/D Converter. |
