ATTINY88 Microcontroller Overview
Among the present microcontrollers in the market, ATTINY88 is one of the cheap and easily available IC, which makes it suitable for experiments and low-end application projects. Also ATTINY88 provides many features in lesser pins for targeting many application designs. With program memory of 8Kbytes, ATTINY88 applications are very versatile, and with POWER SAVE MODE it is suitable to work on battery powered applications. In addition to that, it has Watchdog timer to reset under error, thus it can be used on systems with minimal human interference. These many features added together to make the ATTINY88 a popular microcontroller.
How to use ATTINY88 Microcontroller
We have to use ATTINY88 like any other microcontroller. So first the controller should be programmed and appropriate peripherals get connected to have the desired output. Without programming the controller is an empty chip.
For working of ATTINY88, first we need to burn the appropriate program file in the controller FLASH memory. After dumping this program code, the controller executes this code and provides appropriate response.
Step by step procedure for programming a ATITNY88 microcontroller:
- List the tasks to be done by ATTINY88.
- Write these tasks in programming language in IDE programs.IDE program for AVR microcontrollers is ‘ATMEL STUDIO’. Link for ATMELSTUDIO software is given below.
Atmel Studio 7 for Windows10 [https://www.microchip.com/avr-support/atmel-studio-7 ])
(In ATMEL-STUDIO we will write program in ‘C’ language)
- After writing the desired programs compile to eliminate errors using IDE.
- Make the IDE generate HEX file for the written program.
- Choose the programming device (usually SPI programmer made for AVR controllers) which establishes communication between PC and ATTINY88.
- Run the software provided for the chosen programming device.
- Choose the appropriate program HEX file in other programmer software.
- Burn the HEX file of written program in ATTINY88 flash memory.
- Disconnect the programmer, connect the appropriate peripherals for the controller and get the application started.
Once power is provided the controller executes the machine code saved in flash memory to provide the desired response.
Applications
There are hundreds of applications for ATTINY88 a few are stated below.
- Digital system applications.
- Industrial control systems.
- SMPS and Power Regulation systems.
- Analog signal measuring and manipulations.
- Embedded systems like coffee machine, vending machine.
- Motor control systems.
- Display units.
