Atmel AVR543: Migration from 

ATmega645/6450/649/6490 to 

ATmega645A/6450A/649A/6490A 

1 Introduction 

The Atmel

®

 ATmega645A/6450A/649A/6490A is a functionally identical, drop-in 

replacement for the Atmel ATmega645/6450/649/6490. All devices are subject to 
the same qualification process and same set of production tests, but some 
electrical characteristics differ. 

ATmega645/6450/649/6490 and ATmega645A/6450A/649A/6490A have separate 
datasheets. This application note outlines the differences between the two devices 
and between the datasheets. There is also a detailed change log to assist the user 
at the end of the ATmega645A/6450A/649A/6490A datasheet. Remember to 
always use the latest revision of the device datasheet. 

Minor differences in typical characteristics are not discussed in this document as 
long as the low and high limits remain the same. For detailed information about the 
typical characteristics, see sections “Electrical Characteristics” and “Typical 
Characteristics” of the device datasheets. 

 

Note: This application note serves as a guide to ease migration. For complete 
device details, always refer to the most recent version of the 
ATmega645A/6450A/649A/6490A datasheet.
