Product Overview
The ATMEGA16U2-MUR is a low-power, high-performance 8-bit AVR® RISC microcontroller from Microchip (formerly Atmel). Designed with native USB 2.0 Full-Speed connectivity, it fits PC peripherals, industrial signal converters and compact custom embedded hardware.
This MCU executes most instructions in a single clock cycle, delivering up to 1 MIPS per MHz to balance processing speed and power efficiency. Its standout feature is the integrated USB 2.0 Full-Speed controller with built-in transceiver and multi-endpoint support.
It carries 16 KB self-programmable ISP Flash, 512 Bytes EEPROM and 512 Bytes internal SRAM. A factory-calibrated internal RC oscillator supports crystal-free USB communication to cut PCB BOM cost. Packaged in compact 32-pin VQFN and supplied on tape-and-reel, it acts as a stable, cost-effective USB-to-serial bridge for global electronic designs.
Core Advantages
Integrated Full-Speed USB 2.0 Controller
On-chip USB module integrates internal transceiver, dedicated 48MHz PLL and 176 Bytes independent USB DPRAM with configurable endpoints. It removes the need for separate external USB PHY chips to simplify circuit layout.
High-Efficiency AVR® RISC Architecture
Single-cycle execution design with full instruction set, 32 general-purpose registers and built-in hardware multiplier. It achieves fast computing performance while keeping compiled firmware code compact.
Crystal-Less PCB Layout Support
Factory-calibrated internal RC oscillator locks automatically to USB frame sync signals. Designers can remove external crystal components to shrink PCB size and reduce total material expenses.
Comprehensive System Protection Circuits
Equipped with an independent internal-oscillator watchdog timer, brown-out detection circuit and secure bootloader partition. It provides reliable hardware protection and safe field firmware upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is your ATMEGA16U2-MUR stock 100% genuine original?
A: Yes. All ATMEGA16U2-MUR chips in our warehouse are brand-new original Microchip/Atmel factory stock. Every batch passes strict incoming quality inspection.
All products are packed in original moisture-proof ESD bags to avoid contamination or damage to QFN pins during storage and shipping.
Q2: What do the suffix “MU” and “R” stand for in ATMEGA16U2-MUR?
A: “MU” means 32-pad VQFN matte-tin package with industrial temperature range (-40℃ ~ +85℃).
“R” stands for Tape & Reel packaging, compatible with automatic SMT pick-and-place production lines.
Q3: Can ATMEGA16U2-MUR realize full-speed USB without external crystal?
A: Yes. It integrates factory-calibrated internal RC oscillator with auto USB clock recovery.
It locks sync signals from USB bus directly, so external crystal is not required, saving PCB space and reducing BOM cost.
Q4: What’s the difference between ATMEGA8U2 / ATMEGA16U2 / ATMEGA32U2?
A: The only difference is Flash memory size:
– ATMEGA8U2: 8KB Flash
– ATMEGA16U2: 16KB Flash
– ATMEGA32U2: 32KB Flash
They share identical pinout, peripherals and electrical parameters, no PCB layout change needed when switching models.
