LGT8F328 Development Board
LGT8F328P Boards are shown below. Note the ones to the right are the Mini versions. What's unique about these boards as opposed to the Arduino Nano boards is their cost. These boards are cheaper in comparison to the Arduino Nano Boards.
The LGT8F328P is an instruction, register and pin compatible clone of the Arduino Nano ATMega328p Boards which means it will execute most binary code for that chip. There also some unique features that the Nano can't match which will be explained under the technical section.
Note: Technical Section
These Boards(LGT8F329P) have some powerful features over the Arduino Nano Boards.
1. They have a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) on board which the Nano does not have.
2. There Processor speed can run at 32MHZ compared to 16MHz for the Nano ATMega328P. The internal clock generator has improved accuracy so in most cases there’s no need for an external crystal or clock source.
3. The analog to digital converter (ADC) resolution has also been increased from 10 bits to 12 bits.
4. Another feature are a handful of high current (80ma) outputs, a computing accelerometer (DSC) for high speed 16 bit calculations and PWM dead zone control.
5. The DAC and ADC modules share an internal reference voltage generator that’s of greater accuracy and has three output selections instead of only two.
6. This chip can run at full speed on as little as 1.8vdc supply.
