Atmel has released its AT91RM9200 microcontroller based on the ARM920T 200+ MIPS advanced 32-bit RISC microprocessor. It targets applications requiring enhanced performance such as host processors for system control and connectivity. Examples include telematics systems connecting GPS receivers and GPRS communications, industrial automation, medical systems and point-of-sales terminals. It can also be used in conjunction with Atmel's FingerChip fingerprint sensor for advanced biometrics-based security applications.
Jean-Marie Aubanel, product director at Sagem/Monetel, a leader in POS terminals, commented, "The AT91RM9200 is a perfect fit for our latest generation of point-of-sales terminals. It provides the performance to run, simultaneously, RSA encryption, secure keypad control and a V.32bis modem in software, significantly reducing the number of components in our system. The integrated CompactFlash card interface offers the flexibility to add wireless communication modules to our product for future needs."
Upwardly-compatible with Atmel's established family of ARM7-based microcontrollers, the AT91RM9200 offers a flexible configuration of on- and off-chip memories together with an extensive set of peripherals for control, communication and data storage purposes. These include USB Host and Device and Ethernet 10/100 Base T MAC as well as interfaces for a variety of Flash cards including Atmel's DataFlash. A sophisticated power management controller provides a range of clock speeds and enables individual peripherals to be powered down when not in use. It keeps power consumption to a minimum under all conditions of use. The AT91RM9200 can be used as a standard product in order to minimise time-to-market and development costs, or can serve as a platform for the development of an ASSP or ASIC.
Green Hills Software offers a complete solution for AT91RM9200-based product development, comprised of the INTEGRITY realtime operating system, MULTI integrated development and optimising compilers. A Linux-based application development solution wil be available soon.
