Atmel has announced three new 6pin picoPower avt microcontrollers, which it claims execute code six times faster than any others on the market.
 The ATtiny4, ATtiny5, and ATtiny9 are pin and code compatible and, using the AVR cpu, have been designed to process up to 12MIPS at 12MHz.
ATtiny4, ATtiny5, and ATtiny9 are pin and functional compatible to Atmel's existing ATtiny10 as well as similar devices from other manufacturers.
Jukka Eskelinen, Atmel's product marketing director, tinyAVR, said: "The ATtiny10 was launched in April and we were overwhelmed by the rapid market acceptance and strong demand for this device, which is the smallest AVR microcontroller. It is clear that developers needed innovation in this market segment. Atmel is now expanding the offering with three new parts with different memory densities and feature sets. With more parts available, engineers can cost optimise their applications without sacrificing the features they need."
All tinyAVR microcontrollers use the standard AVR microcontroller development tools.
