Atmel SAM4N

Entry Point to the Atmel ARM Cortex-M4-Based

Flash MCU Portfolio

(MCUs). These MCUs feature a 100MHz operating frequency

and offer up to 1MB of Flash, multiple serial communication

peripherals, and analog capability. This combination of features—

plus low power consumption—makes the SAM4N series ideal

for a wide range of applications in industrial automation, consumer

and appliance, and energy metering markets.

The SAM4N series offers pin-to-pin compatibility with Atmel

SAM4S, SAM3S, SAM3N and SAM7S devices, facilitating easy

migration within the portfolio.

Key Features

•

Additional features include 12-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, integrated voltage reference, multiple timers, PWM and more.

•

Low power consumption — With its low-power architecture, the SAM4N MCU achieves power consumption levels down

to 170µA/MHz in Active mode; as low as 20µA in sleep mode with full RAM retention and wake-up time down to 10µs;

requiring as little as 1µA in backup mode with the RTC running.

•

Ease of use — The ecosystem of software tools and support for the Atmel Studio 6 integrated development platform

(IDP) enables an efficient design process and reduces time to market.
