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). |
