ATmega169: Low power LCD device

Among the brand new features in this device is a LCD=20
interface! (25x4). The Device is only available in a=20
64-pin TQFP, and have 53 general IO lines and in=20
addition a input only pin is added to the RESET pin.=20
(making it the AVR with most IO lines!)=20

Another interesting feature is the possibility of=20
generating interrupt on 17 external pins! This is 5 more=20
than ATtiny26 which rank #2 on the external interrupts=20
rating. The memories are 16kB Flash, 512B EE and 1kB=20
SRAM, in other words a standard 16k memory configuration.=20

Another very interesting feature is that this device=20
runs @ 1.8V and contains an ADC. Because of the low=20
voltage, the internal voltage reference on this device=20
is 1.1V compared to 2.56V on all other AVRs.=20

The ATmega169 is also very power efficient. From the=20
datasheet:=20
-Active Mode:=20
   1 MHz, 1.8V: 300=B5A=20
  32 kHz, 1.8V: 20=B5A (including Oscillator)=20
  32 kHz, 1.8V: TBD (including Oscillator and LCD)=20
-Power-down Mode:=20
   0.5=B5A at 1.8V=20
