I can't seem to find one... Is the cousin ATmega1284 the closest choice?


Thanks

Yes, it's the ATmega in DIP form with the most available memory.

But it is not like the ATmega1280 at all - they have the same flash memory, that is all the 128 in front tells you. The 1280 is part of the Mega*0 line, which has buttloads of ports and innumerable peripheral features not found on any DIP ATmega. The 1284 is part of the Mega*4 line, which is just a better version of the Mega16 and Mega32. But yes, it is the most powerful DIP ATmega out there, so it would indeed be the closest choice - just not a cousin.

Unless they come up with a 64pin DIP then a 40 pin 1284 is probably the best you are going to be able to do...

I don't thin kthe 1280 comes in the DIP package. 

I know that the 2560 doesn't for sure and since the 2560 is pretty much just double the 1280, I don't think that the 1280 comes in a DIP
