Automotive Applications using Atmel AVR 8-bit MCUs

Atmel announced AVR Flash microcontrollers dedicated to the automotive segment. To serve the various automotive constraints, the ATmega48, ATmega88, ATmega168 and the AT90CAN128 have been developed and manufactured according to the international standard ISO-TS-16949, bring performance and cost-effective automotive solutions for sensor and actuator control and in-vehicle networking with CAN and LIN.

They are available in three different automotive temperature ranges (-40 degrees C to +85 degrees C, +105 degrees C and +125 degrees C), and are perfectly suited for power train, body, chassis, safety and security applications.

The ATmega48/88/168 support a 4-, 8-, and 16-KByte Flash memory, respectively. The AT90CAN128 integrates, in a single chip, a V2.0A/V2.0B CAN controller and a 128-KByte Flash program memory.
