The Arduino Nano is a small development board, which is particularly well suited for direct development on breadboards. Through the USB connection software updates can be applied quickly and easily.
The board can be powered via USB. In this case, 3.3 V is available through the FTDI232RL chip, which is also responsible for the USB communication. But this results in a major drawback if you want to use the board in finished circuits without USB powering and use, for example, 3.3V sensors, because an additional voltage converter is necessary then.
Specifications:
- ATMEL ATmega328 with 32KB Flash-RAM (2KB used by bootloader),
2KB SRAM and 1KB EEPROM, clocked at 16MHz - 14 digital inputs and outputs (including 6 PWM channels)
- 8 analog inputs
- I²C support
- serial port
- USB mini connector (FTDI232RL chip)
- separate ICSP connector
- 3.3 V are provided by the FTDI chip, but only when connected to USB
- USB powered, or separately
