Atmel is now sampling the SAM4SD32, a 2 MB embedded Flash Cortex-M4 processor-based microcontroller (MCU). The device offers low power consumption at 200 μA/MHz in active mode when running at 120 MHz.
With 2 MB of embedded Flash, the SAM4SD32 is well suited for industrial and consumer applications requiring increased program memory, data storage and low power consumption.
Such applications include wireless thermostats, GPS sport watches, smart meters and 1D bar code readers. Wired and wireless communication stacks, multi-language and multi-applications support, and data-logging requirements are driving the need for higher memory densities in these applications.
The MCU runs at 120 MHz operating frequency and features cache memory for accelerated code execution out of Flash. In addition, it integrates code protection features, 160 KB of SRAM and dual-bank Flash for safe in-field firmware upgrades. It is available in a VFBGA100 7 x 7 mm package option.
The SAM4SD32 is supported by the SAM4S-EK2, a full-featured evaluation kit that enables fast development and code evaluation. The kit is supported by the recently launched Atmel Studio 6 integrated development environment (IDE), which is free of charge and includes professional-quality development tools and Atmel Software Framework.
With Atmel Software Framework, designers get a large library of proven and free source code, including over 1100 project examples.
