ATtiny (also known as TinyAVR) is a subfamily of the popular 8-bit AVR microcontrollers, which typically has fewer features, fewer I/O pins, and less memory than other AVR series chips.
The first members of this family were released in 1999 by Atmel (later acquired by Microchip Technology in 2016).
[1] ATtiny microcontrollers specifically exclude various common features, such as: USB peripheral, DMA controller, crypto engine, or an external memory bus.
The following table summarizes common features of the ATtiny microcontrollers, for easy comparison.
