AVR in THT casing - what is it?

AVR microcontroller in THT casing is an inexpensive piece of equipment, from which many now working professionals started their adventure with digital electronics. It is a small integrated circuit with a central unit (microprocessor) - its task is to execute the commands written in the program code contained in FLASH memory. All data and variables of this program will be located in RAM. Apart from that, the microcontroller has the so-called peripheral circuits: for example drivers, which make it possible to read input signals, such as the signal coming from the temperature sensor, and to generate output signals.

AVR in a THT housing - perfect for learning

The AVR microcontroller in a THT casing is one of the devices perfectly suited for learning digital electronics. Its low price means that if you make a mistake (for example, if you burn out the circuit by causing a short circuit due to incorrect connection), you will only suffer a small loss. The models we offer in this category are AVR microcontrollers in THT casing - this means that they can be easily placed on a universal board without the need for soldering. This is a great convenience for every electronics beginner, because correct soldering requires a high degree of precision and some experience, which becomes another obstacle when learning electronics principles. There is a lot of material on the internet (including blogs and tutorials on YouTube - both in Polish and English), thanks to which you can easily learn how to use microcontrollers (electronic circuit design and programming) with AVR hardware. The manufacturer provides for free a datasheet document, where you can easily find information about the amount of available RAM, FLASH or EEPROM, peripheral circuits or maximum clock frequency of the processor. It also contains important information about the function of each pin, the supply voltage, detailed processor notes and much more so that you can safely connect and use the hardware.

AVR in THT housing - great for professionals, too

The microcontroller in a THT housing is also ideal for professionals. It can be used as an inexpensive test device to check the correct functioning of a previously designed circuit - in this way you can easily prototype new devices. The THT version can be replaced by a much smaller microcontroller made in SMD technology. AVR in THT casing can be also used as a target microcontroller in simple devices where minimizing logic size is not important.
