Five ATmegaXX8 Target Boards


ATmegaXX8 Target Board specs:

  • Overall size 2" x 3.5" (Standard business card size)
  • Thickness: 0.031", i.e., 1/32" or 0.8 mm. (Half of standard circuit board thickness.) That's thick for a business card-- like some of the superpremium embossed cardstock ones, but it is pretty thin for a circuit board. It's just thick enough to be reasonably rigid.
  • Lead-free (RoHS compliant) construction
  • Single-sided pcb design
  • Easy to solder gold-plated finish
  • FR-4 fiberglass-epoxy board material
  • Black solder mask with white silkscreen on both sides

ATmegaXX8 Target Board features:
  • Fits ATmega8, ATmega48, ATmega88, ATmega168, or ATmega328P microcontrollers
  • Individual labels for all 28 pins of the microcontroller
  • Three extra access holes connected to every pin of the microcontroller
  • Prototyping areas to fit two DIP-14 packages or equivalent.
  • Multiple access points for power and ground.
  • Analog power supply/reference pins not hardwired to power/ground.
  • 6-32 clearance mounting holes provided at each corner
  • Accommodates 3-pin ceramic resonator or crystal oscillator with capacitors.
