The ATtiny85 is a compact and low-power 8-bit AVR RISC microcontroller designed for small embedded applications where minimal size and low energy consumption are essential. It operates at clock speeds up to 20MHz and includes 8KB of Flash memory, 512B SRAM, and 512B EEPROM for program and data storage. The device features digital I/O, 10-bit ADC channels, timer/counters, PWM support, and serial communication via SPI and USI. Its compact 8-pin DIP package makes it ideal for compact control systems, sensor nodes, wearable devices, and battery-powered applications.
