The ATmega2560 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 ATmega2560 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed. The Mega 2560 is an update to the Arduino Mega, which it replaces.</p> <p>The Arduino Mega 2560 has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Mega is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila.</p> <p>Revision 2 of the Mega2560 board (A000047) has a resistor pulling the 8U2 HWB line to ground, making it easier to put into DFU mode.</p> <p>Revision 3 of the Arduino Mega 2560 board (A000067) has the following new features:</p> <ul> <li>1.0 pinout: added SDA and SCL pins that are near to the AREF pin and two other new pins placed near to the RESET pin, the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. In future, shields will be compatible both with the board that use the AVR, which operate with 5V and with the Arduino Due that operate with 3.3V. The second one is a not connected pin, that is reserved for future purposes.</li> <li>Stronger RESET circuit.</li> <li>Atmega 16U2 replace the 8U2.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Key Applications:</strong>

based on the ATmega2560. The ATmega2560 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 ATmega2560 achieves throughputs approaching 1 MIPS per MHz allowing the system designer to optimize power consumption versus processing speed. The Mega 2560 is an update to the Arduino Mega, which it replaces.</p> <p>The Arduino Mega 2560 has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Mega is compatible with most shields designed for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila.</p> <p>Revision 2 of the Mega2560 board (A000047) has a resistor pulling the 8U2 HWB line to ground, making it easier to put into DFU mode.</p> <p>Revision 3 of the Arduino Mega 2560 board (A000067) has the following new features:</p> <ul> <li>1.0 pinout: added SDA and SCL pins that are near to the AREF pin and two other new pins placed near to the RESET pin, the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. In future, shields will be compatible both with the board that use the AVR, which operate with 5V and with the Arduino Due that operate with 3.3V. The second one is a not connected pin, that is reserved for future purposes.</li> <li>Stronger RESET circuit.</li> <li>Atmega 16U2 replace the 8U2.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Key Applications:</strong>
