Product Description

LGT8F328P SSOP20 MiniEVB Development Board

High-Performance Arduino Pro Mini Alternative

The LGT8F328P SSOP20 MiniEVB is a compact development board designed as a lowcost, highperformance alternative to the Arduino Pro Mini [citation:1][citation:2]. Powered by the LGT8F328P microcontroller in an SSOP20 package, this board runs at double the speed of a standard Arduino Nano while offering enhanced features such as a higherresolution ADC, a builtin DAC, and a unique ID (GUID) for each chip [citation:1][citation:4]. It is fully programmable via the Arduino IDE.

Based on the LGT8F328P microcontroller running at 32MHz
Features 12bit ADC (vs 10bit on ATmega328P) and a builtin 8bit DAC [citation:1][citation:5]
Requires an external USBtoTTL programmer (not included) for programming [citation:1][citation:6]

RAW6.5V-12VUnregulated input (via onboard regulator)
GNDGroundGround connection
RSTResetActive low reset
TXUART TransmitSerial output
RXUART ReceiveSerial input
D2-D13Digital I/OGeneral purpose I/O (3,5,6,9,10,11 support PWM)
A0-A3Analog Input12-bit ADC inputs
DTRAuto-ResetFor automatic reset during upload (via capacitor)

> Standard 2.54mm pitch headers for breadboard compatibility

Default I2C pins: A4 (SDA), A5 (SCL)
DTR autoreset may not work reliably at 5V use 3.3V for automatic uploads [citation:4]

Important Setup Notes

# Programming Requirements

This board requires an external USBtoTTL serial adapter (e.g., FT232RL, CH340, CP2102) for programming [citation:1][citation:6].

# Arduino IDE Setup

  1. Add the LGT8F328P board package URL to Arduino IDE Preferences
  2. Install the lgt8fx package via Boards Manager
  3. Select board: "LGT8F328P" and variant based on your package [citation:2]
  4. Select clock speed: 32MHz Internal

# Known Issue: Auto-Reset

The DTR auto-reset circuit may not function correctly when powered at 5V because the LGT8F328P has a lower reset threshold than ATmega328P [citation:4]. If you experience upload failures, try:

  • Switching to 3.3V power (recommended for automatic uploads) [citation:4]
  • Manually pressing the reset button during upload

Why Choose LGT8F328P SSOP20 MiniEVB?

Safety Precautions

Maximum input voltage: 12V on RAW pin - do not exceed
Do not exceed 5V on VCC pin
ESDsensitive handle with proper precautions
Ensure correct polarity when connecting power
Do not short VCC and GND
Use a reliable USBtoTTL adapter with 3.3V/5V compatibility
For best stability, consider running at 16MHz if you encounter issues [citation:2]
