What I should do is put the price in the “Package” column, so you know what the package is and what price we charge, but many parts are in the same package but have two Vcc ranges, so there is no unique way to encode this and keep the spreadsheet on one printable page. I put in the highest and lowest of the few I selected, but this is by no means scientific or dispositive, as the lawyers would say.

All I did was click on the “Buy” link and select a handful of parts from each family, and then looked at the Digi-Key price, in 1000s. My buddy Wayne Yamaguchi requested this, and he is absolutely right, price is the most important spec of any part, and I hate when it takes 5 clicks to find it. I put the exact package size on this page.īesides the packages and package size, I also spent a long time getting pricing. The second sheet of the spreadsheet shows all the tinyAVR parts by number. In both sheets, the package name links to the definition page on our website. There is a second sheet in the spreadsheet that shows all the parts by number and there I put the package size, in mm. I tried to put the smaller packages on the left, with those big ol’ DIP (dual-inline plastic) parts on the right side. We systems folk know the package might be the most important thing. Semiconductor companies think of a part as the silicon die, with the package being almost irrelevant.

The part name links to the product page on our website. Adding 2 columns to remove 13 rows seemed like a good deal. That added two columns for automotive temp and automotive Vcc range. I also combined the automotive parts with the basic parts.

I then took all the tinyAVR parts, and rearranged the columns, throwing out the irrelevant ones. I started with an Excel dump of the selector guide after adding every single parameter to the search. This screenshot shows how all the tinyAVR parts will fit on one 11×17 ledger-sized or B-sized sheet of paper.
