Atmel’s SAM D20 is the first series in a new family of embedded Flash microcontrollers based on the ARM Cortex-M0+ processor core and designed for home automation, consumer, smart metering and industrial applications. The devices integrate 12-bit analog and internal oscillators, up to eight 16-bit timer/counters, real-time performance, peripheral event system, and flexible clocking options and sleep modes. They also include between four and six serial communication modules that can be configured from the application to act as a USART, UART, SPI or I²C. The family supports button, slider and wheel touch capability as well as proximity, and features 14 new devices available in 32-, 48- and 64-pin package options with 16 to 256 KB of Flash memory.
