picoPower ATtiny13A replaces ATtiny13
ATtiny13 is now introduced in a new picoPowerTM process technology to further reduce power
consumption and optimize manufacturing and performance. This move also prepares for
production in foundry and is a part of Atmel®’s announced fab-lite strategy.
ATtiny13A is a fit and function equivalent of the ATtiny13. However ATtiny13A offers
significantly reduced power consumption in Active and Idle operating mode, as shown in the
table below.

ATtiny13A has true 1.8V operation, sleeping BOD, Power Reduction Registers, Digital Input
Disable Registers, Flash sampling and is using Atmel’s low leakage manufacturing process.
These picoPower features give ATtiny13A the same low power consumption known from
megaAVR® picoPower devices.
The process migration is a change of metal routing rules only. Dimensions and electrical
characteristics of the transistors are unchanged. Also the flash, analog peripherals, oscillators
and I/O pad structures remains the same.
To distinguish these new devices the ordering codes have got the suffix ‘A’. ATtiny13A is only
offered in one voltage and speed grade covering both low voltage and full speed operation..
A new datasheet and migration application note for the ATtiny13A is available from Atmel’s web
page. The application note AVR520 describes all differences between the devices, and is
recommended reading for customers migrating to ATtiny13A.

ATtiny13A is available now and samples can be ordered from Atmel’s samples department.
Normal lead times apply for production orders.
The old ATtiny13 ordering codes will still be available, but customers should be encouraged to
migrate to ATtiny13A. ATtiny13 is not recommended for new designs, but can be quoted at
existing price level.
