Control, Power Management, and Miscellaneous Components Part Number Functional Description The ATMega48 is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATMega48 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz, allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed. The ATMega48 features a multiple-input 10-bit ADC, an 8-bit and a 16-bit timer with two ATMEGA48 PWM o

The MAX3420E contains the digital logic and analog circuitry necessary to implement a full- speed USB peripheral compliant to USB specification rev 2.0. A built-in full-speed transceiver features ±15kV ESD protection and programmable USB connect and disconnect. An internal serial-interface engine (SIE) handles low-level USB protocol details such as error checking and bus retries. The MAX3420E operates using a register set accessed by an SPI™ MAX3420 interface that operates up to 26
