Measuring only 38 x 55 mm (1.50 x 2.17 inches), it is a practical choice for permanent prototypes, custom controllers, and embedded projects where a full-size board takes up too much room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its center is the \u003cstrong\u003eATmega2560-16AU microcontroller\u003c\/strong\u003e running at 16 MHz. The compact layout makes it easy to test a project on a breadboard and then solder the board into the finished device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUSB Type-C Mega 2560 Programming and Power\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA convenient \u003cstrong\u003eUSB Type-C connector\u003c\/strong\u003e provides both programming access and board power. The onboard CH340G USB-to-UART interface handles communication with your computer.

It supplies regulated 5V and 3.3V outputs at approximately 800mA each under suitable operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable output current decreases as the input voltage rises because the regulator must dissipate more heat. For easier thermal management and better available current, use a power source within the recommended 6V to 9V range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMega 2560 Pro Mini Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBoard Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact Mega 2560 Pro embedded development board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMicrocontroller\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eATmega2560-16AU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClock Speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 MHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUSB Interface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCH340G USB-to-UART interface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUSB Connector\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB Type-C for programming and power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eUSB Driver\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCH340G driver required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRecommended DC Input\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6V to 9V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePeak Input Voltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18V peak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRegulated Outputs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5V at approximately 800mA and 3.3V at approximately 800mA, depending on input voltage and operating conditions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower Options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSB Type-C connector or power pins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMega 2560 platform software and standard Mega 2560 R3 shield pin mapping\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 x 55 mm (1.50 x 2.17 inches)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWireless Connectivity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone - WiFi is not included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSmall Mega 2560 Board for Finished Prototypes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMini \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMega 2560 Pro with USB Type-C\u003c\/strong\u003e is well suited to home automation controls, robotics, LED projects, sensor systems, custom instruments, and other builds that need a capable microcontroller in limited space.
