ATMEGA48PA-AU from Microchip, in a TQFP-32(7x7). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 PD3/PCINT19/OC2B/INT1 bidirectional Port D bit 3, general-purpose bidirectional I/O with internal pull-up. Alt: PCINT19 (pin-change interrupt), OC2B (Timer/Counter2 output-compare B / PWM), INT1 (external interrupt 1).

3 GND power_in Digital ground (0 V) reference.
4 VCC power_in Digital supply voltage, 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Decouple locally to GND.
5 GND power_in Digital ground (0 V) reference.
6 VCC power_in Digital supply voltage, 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Decouple locally to GND.
7 PB6/PCINT6/XTAL1/TOSC1 bidirectional Port B bit 6 with pull-up. Depending on CKSEL fuses, serves as XTAL1 (crystal oscillator input) or TOSC1 (async Timer/Counter2 oscillator input when AS2 is set). Otherwise general I/O.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
atmega48pa-au.step 413 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
atmega48pa-au-etched.step 3.3 MB You want the part with ATMEGA48PA-AU already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 864 faces against 507 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
