Atmel has expanded its ARM Cortex-M4 based Flash family to include the SAM4E series of microcontrollers (MCUs), which features advanced connectivity peripherals, a floating point unit (FPU), advanced analog capabilities and good processing power.
This rich mix of features make the new devices ideal for the industrial automation, home and building control, machine-to-machine communications, automotive aftermarket and energy management applications.
The SAM4E series features a maximum operating frequency of 120 MHz and an integrated cache providing zero wait state Flash access at full speed. It includes embedded Flash memory up to 1 MB, safety and security features, and extensive communication links such as Ethernet IEEE1588 MAC, USB 2.0 device and dual CAN.
The advanced analog technology on the device includes two independent 16-bit ADCs offering dual sample and hold capability, offset and gain error correction, and a programmable-gain amplifier enabling measurement of a wide input signal range with high precision.
To help accelerate a designer’s project, the SAM4E series is supported by the Atmel Studio 6 integrated development platform (IDP). Available as a free download, Atmel Studio 6 includes the Atmel Software Framework, a complete library of source code, project examples, drivers and stacks.
The IDP also features the Atmel Gallery app store for embedded tools and extensions, and the Atmel Spaces collaborative workspace for software and hardware projects based on Atmel microcontrollers.
