The ATtiny85 can be used as a small Arduino board that is capable of 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion, control of 6 of its digital pins, and voltage tolerances of 2.7-5.5V - all of which allow it to work under very low power electronics and internet of things applications. The microcontroller current consumption ranges from: 5mA, 1.2mA, 10uA under active/idle/power down conditions (8MHz). It also has a serial interface, which allows it to be programmed by another Arduino board, making it the perfect tiny microcontroller where larger Arduino boards may be too large.
