Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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. |

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.
