| 17 | PB5/SCK/PCINT5 | bidirectional | Port B bit 5 GPIO. Alternate: SPI serial clock (SCK), pin-change interrupt PCINT5. Also ISP programming clock. |
| 18 | AVCC | power_in | Analog supply pin for the A/D converter, PC3:0, and ADC7:6. Must be externally connected to VCC (through a low-pass filter if ADC is used) even if the ADC is not used. |
| 19 | ADC6 | input | 10-bit analog input channel 6 to the A/D converter. Powered from AVCC. Available only in TQFP and QFN/MLF packages. |
| 20 | AREF | passive | Analog reference voltage input for the A/D converter. |
| 21 | GND | power_in | Digital ground reference (0V). |
| 22 | ADC7 | input | 10-bit analog input channel 7 to the A/D converter. Powered from AVCC. Available only in TQFP and QFN/MLF packages. |

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:
| File | Size | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
atmega168pa-au.step |

3.5 MB | You want the part with ATMEGA168PA-AU already on it. |
The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 911 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.
