ATtiny85 specs in the simulator

Everything you need to develop ATtiny85 firmware without a programmer or breadboard.

Core

AVR 8-bit RISC, 8 KB flash, 512 B SRAM, 512 B EEPROM. DIP-8 pinout (PB0–PB5 plus VCC/GND).

GPIO

6 I/O pins on PORTB. Configurable as input / output / pull-up. Pin-change interrupts (PCINT0–PCINT5) and external INT0.

Timers & PWM

Timer0 (8-bit) with two PWM channels on PB0/PB1. Timer1 (8-bit) with high-speed mode and two PWM channels on PB1/PB4 — useful for higher-frequency PWM.

ADC

10-bit ADC with 4 input channels (ADC0 on PB5, ADC1 on PB2, ADC2 on PB4, ADC3 on PB3). Internal 1.1 V reference.

USI

Universal Serial Interface — bit-bangs I²C (TWI) and SPI. Compatible with TinyWireM / TinyWireS and standard SPI libraries.

Watchdog & sleep

Watchdog timer with reset and interrupt modes. Power-down, ADC noise reduction, and idle sleep modes — handy for low-power demos.

{/* What you can do */}

What can you build?

ATtiny85 projects shine when they're small, low-power, and analog-aware — exactly Velxio's strength with the SPICE solver wired in.

Blink & PWM fade

The classic intros — hardware-PWM-driven LED fading on PB1 via Timer0, and high-speed Timer1 PWM on PB4.

Button-driven LEDs

Read a button on PB2 with internal pull-up, debounce in firmware, drive an LED on PB0.

NTC temperature

Read an NTC thermistor / fixed-resistor divider on ADC1 — the SPICE solver returns the real divided voltage to analogRead().

I²C peripherals via USI

Talk to an OLED, an EEPROM, or an RTC on PB0/PB2 using TinyWireM. Bus traffic is emulated end-to-end.

SPI WS2812 / shift

Bit-bang via USI to drive a WS2812 string or a 74HC595 shift register on a couple of pins.

Analog switching

Drive a MOSFET gate from PB1 PWM through a SPICE-modelled gate-charge curve — see the slew-rate effect on the load.
