ATMEGA8A-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/INT1 bidirectional Port D bit 3, bi-directional I/O with programmable internal pull-up. Alternate function: INT1 external interrupt input.
2 PD4/XCK/T0 bidirectional Port D bit 4, bi-directional I/O with programmable internal pull-up. Alternates: USART external clock (XCK) and Timer/Counter0 external clock input (T0).
3 GND power_in Digital ground reference (0V).
4 VCC power_in Digital supply voltage, 2.7-5.5V.
5 GND power_in Digital ground reference (0V).
6 VCC power_in Digital supply voltage, 2.7-5.5V.
7 PB6/XTAL1/TOSC1 bidirectional Port B bit 6, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternates: XTAL1 crystal oscillator input (and internal clock circuit input); TOSC1 asynchronous Timer/Counter2 oscillator input when AS2 bit set.
8 PB7/XTAL2/TOSC2 bidirectional Port B bit 7, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternates: XTAL2 crystal oscillator output (inverting amplifier); TOSC2 asynchronous Timer/Counter2 oscillator when AS2 bit set.
9 PD5/T1 bidirectional Port D bit 5, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: Timer/Counter1 external clock input (T1).
10 PD6/AIN0 bidirectional Port D bit 6, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: analog comparator positive input (AIN0).
11 PD7/AIN1 bidirectional Port D bit 7, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: analog comparator negative input (AIN1).
12 PB0/ICP1 bidirectional Port B bit 0, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: Timer/Counter1 input capture (ICP1).
13 PB1/OC1A bidirectional Port B bit 1, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: Timer/Counter1 output compare A (OC1A) PWM output.
14 PB2/SS/OC1B bidirectional Port B bit 2, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternates: SPI slave select (SS, active low); Timer/Counter1 output compare B (OC1B) PWM output.
15 PB3/MOSI/OC2 bidirectional Port B bit 3, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternates: SPI Master Out / Slave In data (MOSI, also used for ISP programming); Timer/Counter2 output compare (OC2) PWM output.
16 PB4/MISO bidirectional Port B bit 4, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: SPI Master In / Slave Out data (MISO, also used for ISP programming readback).
17 PB5/SCK bidirectional Port B bit 5, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: SPI serial clock (SCK, also used for ISP programming).
18 AVCC power_in Analog supply voltage for the A/D Converter, Port C[3:0], and ADC[7:6]. Must be connected externally to VCC (through low-pass filter if ADC is used).
19 ADC6 input Dedicated analog input channel 6 to the 10-bit ADC (TQFP/QFN only). Powered from analog supply (AVCC).
20 AREF passive Analog reference input for the A/D Converter. Typically decoupled with capacitor to AGND.
21 GND power_in Analog ground reference (0V); shared/tied to digital GND.
22 ADC7 input Dedicated analog input channel 7 to the 10-bit ADC (TQFP/QFN only). Powered from analog supply (AVCC).
23 PC0/ADC0 bidirectional Port C bit 0, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: ADC channel 0 analog input.
24 PC1/ADC1 bidirectional Port C bit 1, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: ADC channel 1 analog input.
25 PC2/ADC2 bidirectional Port C bit 2, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: ADC channel 2 analog input.
26 PC3/ADC3 bidirectional Port C bit 3, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: ADC channel 3 analog input.
27 PC4/ADC4/SDA bidirectional Port C bit 4, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternates: ADC channel 4 analog input; TWI (I2C-compatible) serial data (SDA) - open-drain when TWEN set.
28 PC5/ADC5/SCL bidirectional Port C bit 5, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternates: ADC channel 5 analog input; TWI (I2C-compatible) serial clock (SCL) - open-drain when TWEN set.
29 PC6/RESET input Reset input (active low) by default; a low level longer than the minimum pulse length generates a reset even when the clock is not running. If the RSTDISBL fuse is programmed, PC6 becomes a general-purpose I/O with reduced drive.
30 PD0/RXD bidirectional Port D bit 0, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: USART receive data input (RXD).
31 PD1/TXD bidirectional Port D bit 1, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: USART transmit data output (TXD).
32 PD2/INT0 bidirectional Port D bit 2, bi-directional I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate: INT0 external interrupt input.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
atmega8a-au.step 413 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
atmega8a-au-etched.step 3.0 MB You want the part with ATMEGA8A-AU already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 796 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.
