Replacement: DEV-09217. We've decided to retire this product. Arduino now uses the ATmega328 so it is the recommended replacement. This page is maintained for historical purposes only.
Description: The name says it all on this one. An ATmega168 in DIP package, pre-loaded with the Arduino Diecimila (16MHz) Bootloader . This will allow you to use Arduino code in your custom embedded project without having to use an actual Arduino board.
To get this chip working with Arduino IDE, you will need an external 16MHz crystal or resonator, a 5V supply, and a serial connection. If you are not comfortable doing this, we recommend purchasing the Arduino Diecimila board that has all of these built into the board.
Atmel's ATMega168 8-Bit Processor in 28 pin DIP package. 16K of program space. 23 I/O lines, 6 of which are channels for the 10-bit ADC. Runs up to 20MHz with external crystal. Package can be re-programmed in circuit.
