Atmel has expanded its wireless product portfolio with a new family of solutions targeting the Internet of Things (IoT). Essentially, the new SmartConnect family combines Atmel’s ultra-low-power microcontrollers with its wireless solutions and complementary software into a single package, allowing designers to easily add wireless connectivity to an embedded system.
Atmel is targeting SmartConnect at cost-effective, battery-operated applications in the residential, healthcare, industrial, smart energy and wearable spaces.
This new lineup includes SmartConnect Wi-Fi modules, an integration of the company’s ultra-low-power Wi-Fi system-on-chip with a Cortex M0+ ARM-based MCU, and the SmartConnect ZigBee SAM R21, a single chip integrating Atmel’s ultra-low-power ZigBee solution with a Cortex-M0+-based MCU.
The new Wi-Fi modules provide an integrated software solution with application and security protocols such as TLS, integrated network services (TCP/IP stack) and standard real-time operating system, all of which are available via Atmel’s Studio 6 integrated development platform.
The new single-chip ZigBee solution is available in extremely small 5 x 5 mm 32-pin and 7 x 7 mm 48-pin packages. The devices ship in a variety of memory densities and are qualified for industrial temperature grades up to 125°C, making them ideal for wireless lighting control applications such as ZigBee Light Link.
