Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ATMEGA162V-8PI is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Core Architecture: AVR processor family
• Memory Configuration: 16KB FLASH, 512 x 8 EEPROM, 1K x 8 RAM
• Operating Specifications: 8MHz clock speed, 1.8V to 5.5V supply voltage range, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature
• I/O and Connectivity: 35 I/O pins, EBI/EMI, SPI, UART/USART interfaces
• Peripheral Set: Brown-out Detect/Reset, POR, PWM, WDT
• Package Format: 40-DIP through-hole mounting

The substitute part ATMEGA162V-8PU maintains identical electrical and functional specifications while differing only in packaging format (Bulk vs. standard packaging) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ATMEGA162V-8PU serves as a direct functional equivalent to the ATMEGA162V-8PI. Both parts share identical core architecture, memory configuration, clock speed, voltage specifications, I/O count, and peripheral set. The primary distinction is product status: the ATMEGA162V-8PI is classified as obsolete, while the ATMEGA162V-8PU maintains active production status.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this microcontroller family, the ATMEGA162V-8PU is the appropriate selection due to its active availability and continued manufacturer support. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and carry identical export classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8542.31.0001).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ATMEGA162V-8PU be used as a direct replacement for ATMEGA162V-8PI in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ATMEGA162V-8PU is electrically and functionally identical to the ATMEGA162V-8PI. Both devices feature the same 8-bit AVR core, 16KB FLASH memory, 8MHz clock speed, 1.8V to 5.5V supply voltage range, and 40-DIP package format. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between ATMEGA162V-8PI and ATMEGA162V-8PU?

A: The parts differ in product status and packaging designation. The ATMEGA162V-8PI is obsolete, while the ATMEGA162V-8PU is in active production. The suffix "-PI" and "-PU" indicate different packaging or distribution formats, but the electrical specifications and pinout are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry the same export classification (ECCN: EAR99) and tariff code (HTSUS: 8542.31.0001). Both are RoHS non-compliant. No compliance advantage exists between the two variants.

Q: Is the 40-DIP package pinout identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both ATMEGA162V-8PI and ATMEGA162V-8PU use the 40-DIP (0.600", 15.24mm) package with identical pinout and pin assignments. Direct socket substitution is possible.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: ATMEGA162V-8PI has 2200 pieces in stock (new original). ATMEGA162V-8PU has 2081 pieces in stock (new original). Both are available for immediate procurement.
