New from Atmel is the SAM G family of ARM Cortex-M4-based microcontrollers (MCUs) targeted at sensor hub and battery-operated consumer applications, including sensor hubs for smartphones, tablets and Ultrabooks as well as wearables, healthcare, gateways, bridges and audio devices.
In the rapidly growing market for smart, connected devices in this era of the Internet of Things (IoT), there is demand for MCUs with ultra-small form factors, rich features, high performance, and lower power.
The SAM G51 and SAM G53 series meet the requirements of the rapidly growing market for smart, connected devices in this era of the Internet of Things (IoT), namely small form factors, rich features, high-performance and low-power consumption.
They come in 3 x 3 mm packaging and offer high operating frequency at 48 MHz, ultra-low power consumption down to 100 μA/MHz in active mode, 7 μA in sleep with SRAM retention and down to 3 μs wakeup time. They also have an option for a floating point unit (FPU) for applications requiring more computational power and precise calculations such as digital smart watches, wearables and mobile sensor hubs.
To accelerate design, a SAM G53 Xplained Pro evaluation kit is available for the SAM G53 families. The ATSAMG53-XPRO evaluation board includes an embedded debugger, Atmel Studio 6 integrated development platform and the Atmel Software Framework. The kit is also fully supported by third-party partners IAR and Keil.
