Overview
The ATtiny43U is a low-power CMOS 8-bit microcontroller based on the AVR enhanced RISC architecture. By executing powerful instructions in a single clock cycle, the ATtiny43U achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed.
