SAN JOSE, Calif., May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Atmel Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML), a global leader in
microcontroller (MCU) and touch solutions, today introduced the
world's first full 5V ARM Cortex-M0+-based MCU family with
integrated peripheral touch controller (PTC). The new family of
Atmel | SMART ARM Cortex-M0+ MCUs innovatively combines 5V, DMA
performance and a PTC with excellent moisture tolerance. The new
devices also integrate advanced analog capability and offers EMI
and ESD protection, making them ideal for the rapidly expanding
smart appliance and industrial markets.
Atmel | SMART microcontrollers with PTC are currently in mass
production at leading appliance manufacturers worldwide. By adding
full 5V functionality on an ARM Cortex M0+ based core, along with
upcoming support for the IEC 60730 Class B Safety Library, the new
SAM C MCUs are the perfect solution for partnering with industrial
and white goods companies to power next-generation
applications.
Leveraging Atmel's over two decades of MCU success, the new
series incorporates the company's proprietary smart peripherals and
Event System, and are pin and code-compatible to the SAM D and SAM
L series. The new SAM C is fully supported by Atmel's free
integrated development environment Atmel Studio and program
examples and drivers for all peripherals are available through the
Atmel Software Framework.
"Atmel leverages its leadership position in both MCU and touch
with the new SAM C series," said Reza
Kazerounian, Sr. Vice President and General Manager,
Microcontroller Business Unit, Atmel Corporation. "The SAM C series
uniquely combines support for 5V on a Cortex-M0+ based MCU with an
integrated PTC, bringing an industry-first product to market for
next-generation industrial and appliance applications."
Select Key Features of the SAM C Series
- Expands the ARM Cortex-M0+ based MCU with hardware divide and
square root accelerator at 48MHz
- Large memories: SRAM up to 32KB, and embedded Flash up to
256KB
- Supports 2.7V to 5.5V operating voltage
- Integrates company's leading peripheral touch controller
- Incorporates company's proprietary DMA with SleepWalking, Event
System and SERCOM
- Dual 12-bit ADCs and a 16-bit Sigma Delta ADC
- Dual CAN 2.0 with FD support
Evaluation Kit
To help accelerate a designer's
development, the SAM C21 Xplained Pro is available for USD
$39. The Xplained Pro boards include
an embedded debugger and programmer and have a wide range of
compatible extensions boards. Standalone programmer debugger
solutions supporting the SAM C family are also available from both
Atmel and third parties.
Availability
Engineering samples for the Atmel SAM C
series is available now. The IEC 60730 Class B Compliance Safety
Library will be available when the devices are in production.
