Microchip Tech · Microcontrollers (MCU/MPU/SOC) · QFN-20-EP(4x4)

ATTINY43U-MU from Microchip Tech, in a QFN-20-EP(4x4). 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 PB2 bidirectional Port B bit 2. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: OC0B (Timer/Counter0 compare match B output / PWM) and PCINT10 (pin-change interrupt). Tri-stated during reset. Vih ≥ 0.6·VCC, Vil ≤ 0.3·VCC; ~40 mA sink/source per pin (symmetrical drive).
2 PB3 bidirectional Port B bit 3. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: T1 (Timer/Counter1 external clock input), CLKO (system clock output when CKOUT fuse is programmed) and PCINT11.
3 PB4 bidirectional Port B bit 4. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: DI (USI three-wire data-input / SPI MOSI), OC1A (Timer/Counter1 PWM output A) and PCINT12.
4 PB5 bidirectional Port B bit 5. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: DO (USI three-wire data-output / SPI MISO), OC1B (Timer/Counter1 PWM output B) and PCINT13.
5 PB6 bidirectional Port B bit 6. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: USCK (USI clock line for three-wire/SPI mode), SCL (USI clock line for two-wire/I²C mode) and PCINT14.
6 PB7 bidirectional Port B bit 7. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: INT0 (external interrupt request 0 input) and PCINT15.
7 VCC power_in Digital supply voltage. 1.8 - 5.5 V when the on-chip boost converter is bypassed. When the boost converter is used, VCC is driven internally from VBAT (0.7 - 1.8 V) via the LSW inductor node; VCC is then the boosted rail. Decouple close to the pin.
8 GND power_in Ground reference for the whole device. Tie the QFN exposed pad to the same GND net.
9 LSW passive Boost-converter switching node - connects to the external boost inductor (the other end goes to VBAT). Internally the low-side switch of the boost converter pulls this node to GND at the switching frequency. Tie directly to GND if the boost converter will be permanently disabled.
10 VBAT power_in Battery / low-voltage input to the on-chip boost converter (0.7 - 1.8 V nominal). Also the far end of the boost inductor. Tie to GND if the boost converter will be permanently disabled.
11 PA0 bidirectional Port A bit 0. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: ADC0 (10-bit ADC single-ended channel 0) and PCINT0.
12 PA1 bidirectional Port A bit 1. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: ADC1 (10-bit ADC channel 1) and PCINT1.
13 PA2 bidirectional Port A bit 2. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: ADC2 (10-bit ADC channel 2) and PCINT2.
14 PA3 bidirectional Port A bit 3. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: ADC3 (10-bit ADC channel 3) and PCINT3.
15 PA4 bidirectional Port A bit 4. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: AIN0 (positive input of the on-chip analog comparator) and PCINT4.
16 PA5 bidirectional Port A bit 5. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: AIN1 (negative input of the on-chip analog comparator) and PCINT5.
17 PA6 bidirectional Port A bit 6. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: CLKI (external clock input when the External Clock system-clock source is selected by fuses) and PCINT6.
18 PA7 bidirectional Port A bit 7 / RESET. When the RSTDISBL fuse is unprogrammed this pin is the active-low external RESET input (a low pulse longer than the minimum pulse length triggers a reset even without a running clock). Programming RSTDISBL (=0) turns the pin into a normal GPIO - but then further ISP is only possible via High-Voltage Serial Programming. Also carries the debugWIRE (dW) signal for on-chip debug/programming and PCINT7.
19 PB0 bidirectional Port B bit 0. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: T0 (Timer/Counter0 external clock input) and PCINT8.
20 PB1 bidirectional Port B bit 1. General-purpose I/O with internal pull-up. Alternate functions: OC0A (Timer/Counter0 compare match A output / PWM) and PCINT9.
EP EP power_in Exposed thermal / centre pad on the underside of the QFN/MLF package. Per the datasheet note, must be soldered to ground (tie to GND net).
