Description
The Atmel SAM4S series is a member of a family of Flash microcontrollers based on the high
performance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 RISC processor. It operates at a maximum speed of
120 MHz and features up to 2048 Kbytes of Flash, with optional dual bank implementation and
cache memory, and up to 160 Kbytes of SRAM. The peripheral set includes a Full Speed USB
Device port with embedded transceiver, a High Speed MCI for SDIO/SD/MMC, an External Bus
Interface featuring a Static Memory Controller providing connection to SRAM, PSRAM, NOR
Flash, LCD Module and NAND Flash, 2x USARTs, 2x UARTs, 2x TWIs, 3x SPI, an I2S, as well
as 1 PWM timer, 2x three channel general-purpose 16-bit timers (with stepper motor and
quadrature decoder logic support), an RTC, a 12-bit ADC, a 12-bit DAC and an analog
comparator.
The SAM4S series is ready for capacitive touch thanks to the QTouch® library, offering an easy
way to implement buttons, wheels and sliders.
The SAM4S device is a medium range general purpose microcontroller with the best ratio in
terms of reduced power consumption, processing power and peripheral set. This enables the
SAM4S to sustain a wide range of applications including consumer, industrial control, and PC
peripherals.
It operates from 1.62V to 3.6V.
The SAM4S series is pin-to-pin compatible with the SAM3N, SAM3S series (64- and 100-pin
versions) and SAM7S legacy series (64-pin versions).

1. Schmitt Triggers can be disabled through PIO registers.
2. Some PIO lines are shared with System I/Os.
3. Refer to USB Section of the product Electrical Characteristics for information on Pull-down value in USB Mode.
4. See “Typical Powering Schematics” Section for restrictions on voltage range of Analog Cells.
5. TDO pin is set in input mode when the Cortex-M4 Core is not in debug mode. Thus the internal pull-up corresponding to this
PIO line must be enabled to avoid current consumption due to floating input.

SAM4S Series [Preliminary]
11100BS–ATARM–31-Jul-12
SAM4S Series [Preliminary]
5. Power Considerations
5.1
Power Supplies
The SAM4S has several types of power supply pins:
• VDDCORE pins: Power the core, the embedded memories and the peripherals. Voltage
ranges from 1.08V to 1.32V.
• VDDIO pins: Power the Peripherals I/O lines (Input/Output Buffers), USB transceiver, Backup
part, 32 kHz crystal oscillator and oscillator pads. Voltage ranges from 1.62V to 3.6V.
• VDDIN pin: Voltage Regulator Input, ADC, DAC and Analog Comparator Power Supply.
Voltage ranges from 1.62V to 3.6V.
• VDDPLL pin: Powers the PLLA, PLLB, the Fast RC and the 3 to 20 MHz oscillator. Voltage
ranges from 1.08V to 1.32V.
5.2
Voltage Regulator
The SAM4S embeds a voltage regulator that is managed by the Supply Controller.
This internal regulator is designed to supply the internal core of SAM4S. It features two operating modes:
• In Normal mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 500 µA static current and draws
80 mA of output current. Internal adaptive biasing adjusts the regulator quiescent current
depending on the required load current. In Wait Mode quiescent current is only 5 µA.
• In Backup mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 1 µA while its output (VDDOUT)
is driven internally to GND. The default output voltage is 1.20V and the start-up time to reach
Normal mode is less than 300 µs.
For adequate input and output power supply decoupling/bypassing, refer to the “Voltage Regulator” section in the “Electrical Characteristics” section of the datasheet.
5.3
Typical Powering Schematics
The SAM4S supports a 1.62V-3.6V single supply mode. The internal regulator input is connected to the source and its output feeds VDDCORE. Figure 5-1 below shows the power
schematics.
As VDDIN powers the voltage regulator, the ADC, DAC and the analog comparator, when the
user does not want to use the embedded voltage regulator, it can be disabled by software via
the SUPC (note that this is different from Backup mode).

Figure 5-3 below provides an example of the powering scheme when using a backup battery.
Since the PIO state is preserved when in backup mode, any free PIO line can be used to switch
off the external regulator by driving the PIO line at low level (PIO is input, pull-up enabled after
backup reset). External wake-up of the system can be from a push button or any signal. See
Section 5.6 “Wake-up Sources” for further details.

Note: The two diodes provide a “switchover circuit” (for illustration purpose)

5.4
Active Mode
Active mode is the normal running mode with the core clock running from the fast RC oscillator,
the main crystal oscillator or the PLLA. The power management controller can be used to adapt
the frequency and to disable the peripheral clocks.
5.5
Low-Power Modes
The various low-power modes of the SAM4S are described below:
5.5.1
Backup Mode
The purpose of backup mode is to achieve the lowest power consumption possible in a system
which is performing periodic wake-ups to perform tasks but not requiring fast startup time. Total
current consumption is 1 µA typical (VDDIO = 1.8V to 25°C).
The Supply Controller, zero-power power-on reset, RTT, RTC, Backup registers and 32 kHz
oscillator (RC or crystal oscillator selected by software in the Supply Controller) are running. The
regulator and the core supply are off.
Backup mode is based on the Cortex-M4 deep sleep mode with the voltage regulator disabled.
The SAM4S can be awakened from this mode through WUP0-15 pins, the supply monitor (SM),
the RTT or RTC wake-up event.
Backup mode is entered by writing the Supply Controller Control Register (SUPC_CR) with the
VROFF bit at 1 (a key is needed to write the VROFF bit, please refer to the “Supply Controller
(SUPC)” section of the product datasheet) and with the SLEEPDEEP bit in the Cortex-M4 System Control Register set to 1. (See the Power management description in the “ARM Cortex-M4
Processor” section of the product datasheet).
21
11100BS–ATARM–31-Jul-12
Entering Backup mode:
• Set the SLEEPDEEP bit of Cortex_M4 to 1
• Set the VROFF bit of SUPC_CR to 1
Exit from Backup mode happens if one of the following enable wake up events occurs:
• WKUPEN0-15 pins (level transition, configurable debouncing)
• Supply Monitor alarm
• RTC alarm
• RTT alarm
5.5.2
Wait Mode
The purpose of the wait mode is to achieve very low power consumption while maintaining the
whole device in a powered state for a startup time of less than 10 µs. Current Consumption in
Wait mode is typically 32 µA (total current consumption) if the internal voltage regulator is used.
In this mode, the clocks of the core, peripherals and memories are stopped. However, the core,
peripherals and memories power supplies are still powered. From this mode, a fast start up is
available.
This mode is entered by setting WAITMODE bit to 1 (in PMC clock generator Main Oscillator
register) with LPM = 1 (Low Power Mode bit in PMC_FSMR) and with FLPM = 00 or FLPM=01
(Flash Low Power Mode bits in PMC_FSMR).
The Cortex-M4 is able to handle external events or internal events in order to wake-up the core.
This is done by configuring the external lines WUP0-15 as fast startup wake-up pins (refer to
Section 5.7 “Fast Startup”). RTC or RTT Alarm and USB wake-up events can be used to wake
up the CPU.
Entering Wait Mode:
• Select the 4/8/12 MHz fast RC oscillator as Main Clock
• Set the LPM bit in the PMC Fast Startup Mode Register (PMC_FSMR)
• Set the FLPM bitfield in the PMC Fast Startup Mode Register (PMC_FSMR)
• Set Flash Wait State at 0.
• Set the WAITMODE bit = 1 in PMC Main Oscillator Register (CKGR_MOR)
• Wait for Master Clock Ready MCKRDY = 1 in the PMC Status Register (PMC_SR)
Note:
Internal Main clock resynchronization cycles are necessary between the writing of MOSCRCEN
bit and the effective entry in Wait mode. Depending on the user application, waiting for
MOSCRCEN bit to be cleared is recommended to ensure that the core will not execute undesired
instructions.
Depending on Flash Low Power Mode (FLPM) value, the Flash will enter in three different
modes:
• FLPM[00] in Standby mode
• FLPM[01] in Deep Power Down mode
• FLPM[10] in mode Idle.
Following the Flash mode selection, the consumption in wait mode will decrease. In Deep Power
Down mode the recovery time of the Flash in Standby mode will be less than the power up
delay.

Sleep Mode
The purpose of sleep mode is to optimize power consumption of the device versus response
time. In this mode, only the core clock is stopped. The peripheral clocks can be enabled. The
current consumption in this mode is application dependent.
This mode is entered via Wait for Interrupt (WFI) instructions with LPM = 0 in PMC_FSMR.
The processor can be awakened from an interrupt if WFI instruction of the Cortex-M4 is used.

3. When considering wake-up time, the time required to start the PLL is not taken into account. Once started, the device works
with the 4/8/12 MHz fast RC oscillator. The user has to add the PLL start-up time if it is needed in the system. The wake-up
time is defined as the time taken for wake up until the first instruction is fetched.

Fast Startup
The SAM4S allows the processor to restart in a few microseconds while the processor is in wait
mode or in sleep mode. A fast start up can occur upon detection of a low level on one of the 19
wake-up inputs (WKUP0 to 15 + SM + RTC + RTT).
The fast restart circuitry, as shown in Figure 5-5, is fully asynchronous and provides a fast startup signal to the Power Management Controller. As soon as the fast start-up signal is asserted,
the PMC automatically restarts the embedded 4/8/12 MHz Fast RC oscillator, switches the master clock on this 4 MHz clock and reenables the processor clock.

6. Input/Output Lines
The SAM4S has several kinds of input/output (I/O) lines such as general purpose I/Os (GPIO)
and system I/Os. GPIOs can have alternate functionality due to multiplexing capabilities of the
PIO controllers. The same PIO line can be used whether in I/O mode or by the multiplexed
peripheral. System I/Os include pins such as test pins, oscillators, erase or analog inputs.
6.1
General Purpose I/O Lines
GPIO Lines are managed by PIO Controllers. All I/Os have several input or output modes such
as pull-up or pull-down, input Schmitt triggers, multi-drive (open-drain), glitch filters, debouncing
or input change interrupt. Programming of these modes is performed independently for each I/O
line through the PIO controller user interface. For more details, refer to the product “PIO Controller” section.
The input/output buffers of the PIO lines are supplied through VDDIO power supply rail.
The SAM4S embeds high speed pads able to handle up to 70 MHz for HSMCI (MCK/2), 70 MHz
for SPI clock lines and 46 MHz on other lines. See the “AC Characteristics” sub-section of the
product Electrical Characteristics. Typical pull-up and pull-down value is 100 kΩ for all I/Os.
Each I/O line also embeds an ODT (On-Die Termination), (see Figure 6-1 below). It consists of
an internal series resistor termination scheme for impedance matching between the driver output (SAM4S) and the PCB trace impedance preventing signal reflection. The series resistor
helps to reduce IOs switching current (di/dt) thereby reducing in turn, EMI. It also decreases
overshoot and undershoot (ringing) due to inductance of interconnect between devices or
between boards. In conclusion ODT helps diminish signal integrity issues.

System I/O Lines
System I/O lines are pins used by oscillators, test mode, reset and JTAG to name but a few.
Described below in Table 6-1 are the SAM4S system I/O lines shared with PIO lines.
These pins are software configurable as general purpose I/O or system pins. At startup the
default function of these pins is always used.

user application sets PB12 into PIO mode,
2. In the product Datasheet refer to: “Slow Clock Generator” of the “Supply Controller” section.
3. In the product Datasheet refer to: “3 to 20 MHZ Crystal Oscillator” information in the “PMC” section.
6.2.1
Serial Wire JTAG Debug Port (SWJ-DP) Pins
The SWJ-DP pins are TCK/SWCLK, TMS/SWDIO, TDO/SWO, TDI and commonly provided on
a standard 20-pin JTAG connector defined by ARM. For more details about voltage reference
and reset state, refer to Table 3-1 on page 8.
At startup, SWJ-DP pins are configured in SWJ-DP mode to allow connection with debugging
probe. Please refer to the “Debug and Test” Section of the product datasheet.
SWJ-DP pins can be used as standard I/Os to provide users more general input/output pins
when the debug port is not needed in the end application. Mode selection between SWJ-DP
mode (System IO mode) and general IO mode is performed through the AHB Matrix Special
Function Registers (MATRIX_SFR). Configuration of the pad for pull-up, triggers, debouncing
and glitch filters is possible regardless of the mode.
The JTAGSEL pin is used to select the JTAG boundary scan when asserted at a high level. It
integrates a permanent pull-down resistor of about 15 kΩ to GND, so that it can be left unconnected for normal operations.
By default, the JTAG Debug Port is active. If the debugger host wants to switch to the Serial
Wire Debug Port, it must provide a dedicated JTAG sequence on TMS/SWDIO and
TCK/SWCLK which disables the JTAG-DP and enables the SW-DP. When the Serial Wire
Debug Port is active, TDO/TRACESWO can be used for trace.
The asynchronous TRACE output (TRACESWO) is multiplexed with TDO. So the asynchronous
trace can only be used with SW-DP, not JTAG-DP. For more information about SW-DP and
JTAG-DP switching, please refer to the “Debug and Test” Section.
27
11100BS–ATARM–31-Jul-12
6.3
Test Pin
The TST pin is used for JTAG Boundary Scan Manufacturing Test or Fast Flash programming
mode of the SAM4S series. The TST pin integrates a permanent pull-down resistor of about 15
kΩ to GND, so that it can be left unconnected for normal operations. To enter fast programming
mode, see the Fast Flash Programming Interface (FFPI) section. For more details on the manufacturing and test mode, refer to the “Debug and Test” section of the product datasheet.
6.4
NRST Pin
The NRST pin is bidirectional. It is handled by the on-chip reset controller and can be driven low
to provide a reset signal to the external components or asserted low externally to reset the
microcontroller. It will reset the Core and the peripherals except the Backup region (RTC, RTT
and Supply Controller). There is no constraint on the length of the reset pulse and the reset controller can guarantee a minimum pulse length. The NRST pin integrates a permanent pull-up
resistor to VDDIO of about 100 kΩ. By default, the NRST pin is configured as an input.
6.5
ERASE Pin
The ERASE pin is used to reinitialize the Flash content (and some of its NVM bits) to an erased
state (all bits read as logic level 1). It integrates a pull-down resistor of about 100 kΩ to GND, so
that it can be left unconnected for normal operations.
This pin is debounced by SCLK to improve the glitch tolerance. When the ERASE pin is tied high
during less than 100 ms, it is not taken into account. The pin must be tied high during more than
220 ms to perform a Flash erase operation.
The ERASE pin is a system I/O pin and can be used as a standard I/O. At startup, the ERASE
pin is not configured as a PIO pin. If the ERASE pin is used as a standard I/O, startup level of
this pin must be low to prevent unwanted erasing. Refer to Section 10.16 “Peripheral Signal Multiplexing on I/O Lines” on page 48. Also, if the ERASE pin is used as a standard I/O output,
asserting the pin to low does not erase the Flash.

The Enhanced Embedded Flash Controller ensures the interface of the Flash block.
It manages the programming, erasing, locking and unlocking sequences of the Flash using a full
set of commands.
One of the commands returns the embedded Flash descriptor definition that informs the system
about the Flash organization, thus making the software generic.
9.1.3.3
Flash Speed
The user needs to set the number of wait states depending on the frequency used:
For more details, refer to the “AC Characteristics” sub-section of the product “Electrical
Characteristics”.

9.1.3.4
Lock Regions
Several lock bits are used to protect write and erase operations on lock regions. A lock region is
composed of several consecutive pages, and each lock region has its associated lock bit.
Table 9-1.

If a locked-region’s erase or program command occurs, the command is aborted and the EEFC
triggers an interrupt.
The lock bits are software programmable through the EEFC User Interface. The command “Set
Lock Bit” enables the protection. The command “Clear Lock Bit” unlocks the lock region.
Asserting the ERASE pin clears the lock bits, thus unlocking the entire Flash.
9.1.3.5
Security Bit Feature
The SAM4SD32 and SAM4SD16 feature 2 security bits, the SAM4S16/SA16/S8 feature a security bit, based on a specific General Purpose NVM bit (GPNVM bit 0). When one of the security
bits is enabled, any access to the Flash, SRAM, Core Registers and Internal Peripherals either
through the ICE interface or through the Fast Flash Programming Interface, is forbidden. This
ensures the confidentiality of the code programmed in the Flash.
This security bit can only be enabled, through the command “Set General Purpose NVM Bit 0” of
the EEFC User Interface. Disabling the security bit can only be achieved by asserting the
ERASE pin at 1, and after a full Flash erase is performed. When the security bit is deactivated,
all accesses to the Flash, SRAM, Core registers, Internal Peripherals are permitted.
It is important to note that the assertion of the ERASE pin should always be longer than 200 ms.
As the ERASE pin integrates a permanent pull-down, it can be left unconnected during normal
operation. However, it is safer to connect it directly to GND for the final application.
9.1.3.6
Calibration Bits
NVM bits are used to calibrate the brownout detector and the voltage regulator. These bits are
factory configured and cannot be changed by the user. The ERASE pin has no effect on the calibration bits.
9.1.3.7
Unique Identifier
Each device integrates its own 128-bit unique identifier. These bits are factory configured and
cannot be changed by the user. The ERASE pin has no effect on the unique identifier.
9.1.3.8
User Signature
Each part contains a User Signature of 512 bytes. It can be used by the user to store user information such as trimming, keys, etc., that the customer does not want to be erased by asserting
the ERASE pin or by software ERASE command. Read, write and erase of this area is allowed.
37
11100BS–ATARM–31-Jul-12
9.1.3.9
Fast Flash Programming Interface
The Fast Flash Programming Interface allows programming the device through a multiplexed
fully-handshaked parallel port. It allows gang programming with market-standard industrial
programmers.
The FFPI supports read, page program, page erase, full erase, lock, unlock and protect
commands.
9.1.3.10
SAM-BA Boot
The SAM-BA Boot is a default Boot Program which provides an easy way to program in-situ the
on-chip Flash memory.
The SAM-BA Boot Assistant supports serial communication via the UART and USB.
The SAM-BA Boot provides an interface with SAM-BA Graphic User Interface (GUI).
The SAM-BA Boot is in ROM and is mapped in Flash at address 0x0 when GPNVM bit 1 is set to 0.
9.1.3.11
GPNVM Bits
The SAM4S features two GPNVM bits. These bits can be cleared or set respectively through the
commands “Clear GPNVM Bit” and “Set GPNVM Bit” of the EEFC User Interface.
The Flash of the SAM4S16/SA16 is composed of 1024 Kbytes in a single bank. The Flash of the
SAM4S8 is composed of 512Kbytes in a single bank.
The SAM4SD32/SD16 features 3 GPNVM bits that can be cleared or set respectively through
the "Clear GPNVM Bit" and "Set GPNVM Bit" commands of the EEFC User Interface. The
GPNVM0 is the security bit. The GPNVM1 is used to select the boot mode (boot always at 0x00)
on ROM or FLASH. The SAM4SD32/16 embeds an additional GPNVM bit: GPNVM2. This
GPNVM bit is used only to swap the Flash0 and Flash1. If GPNVM bit 2 is:
ENABLE: the Flash1 is mapped at address 0x0040_0000 (Flash1 and Flash0 are continuous).
DISABLE: the Flash0 is mapped at address 0x0040_0000 (Flash0 and Flash1 are continuous).

Boot Strategies
The system always boots at address 0x0. To ensure maximum boot possibilities, the memory
layout can be changed via GPNVM.
A general purpose NVM (GPNVM) bit is used to boot either on the ROM (default) or from the
Flash.
The GPNVM bit can be cleared or set respectively through the commands “Clear General-purpose NVM Bit” and “Set General-purpose NVM Bit” of the EEFC User Interface.
Setting GPNVM Bit 1 selects the boot from the Flash, clearing it selects the boot from the ROM.
Asserting ERASE clears the GPNVM Bit 1 and thus selects the boot from the ROM by default.
38
SAM4S Series [Preliminary]
11100BS–ATARM–31-Jul-12
SAM4S Series [Preliminary]
Setting the GPNVM Bit 2 selects bank 1, clearing it selects the boot from bank 0. Asserting
ERASE clears the GPNVM Bit 2 and thus selects the boot from bank 0 by default.
9.2
External Memories
The SAM4S features one External Bus Interface to provide an interface to a wide range of external memories and to any parallel peripheral.

SAM4S Series [Preliminary]
10.1
System Controller and Peripheral Mapping
Refer to Figure 8-1, "SAM4S Product Mapping".
All the peripherals are in the bit band region and are mapped in the bit band alias region.
10.2
Power-on-Reset, Brownout and Supply Monitor
The SAM4S embeds three features to monitor, warn and/or reset the chip:
• Power-on-Reset on VDDIO
• Brownout Detector on VDDCORE
• Supply Monitor on VDDIO
10.2.1
Power-on-Reset
The Power-on-Reset monitors VDDIO. It is always activated and monitors voltage at start up but
also during power down. If VDDIO goes below the threshold voltage, the entire chip is reset. For
more information, refer to the “Electrical Characteristics” section of the datasheet.
10.2.2
Brownout Detector on VDDCORE
The Brownout Detector monitors VDDCORE. It is active by default. It can be deactivated by software through the Supply Controller (SUPC_MR). It is especially recommended to disable it
during low-power modes such as wait or sleep modes.
If VDDCORE goes below the threshold voltage, the reset of the core is asserted. For more information, refer to the “Supply Controller (SUPC)” and “Electrical Characteristics” sections of the
datasheet.
10.2.3
10.3
Supply Monitor on VDDIO
The Supply Monitor monitors VDDIO. It is not active by default. It can be activated by software
and is fully programmable with 16 steps for the threshold (between 1.6V to 3.4V). It is controlled
by the Supply Controller (SUPC). A sample mode is possible. It allows to divide the supply monitor power consumption by a factor of up to 2048. For more information, refer to the “Supply
Controller (SUPC)” and “Electrical Characteristics” sections of the datasheet.
Reset Controller
The Reset Controller is based on a Power-on-Reset cell, and a Supply Monitor on VDDCORE.
The Reset Controller is capable to return to the software the source of the last reset, either a
general reset, a wake-up reset, a software reset, a user reset or a watchdog reset.
The Reset Controller controls the internal resets of the system and the NRST pin input/output. It
is capable to shape a reset signal for the external devices, simplifying to a minimum connection
of a push-button on the NRST pin to implement a manual reset.
The configuration of the Reset Controller is saved as supplied on VDDIO.
10.4
Supply Controller (SUPC)
The Supply Controller controls the power supplies of each section of the processor and the
peripherals (via Voltage regulator control).
The Supply Controller has its own reset circuitry and is clocked by the 32 kHz Slow clock
generator.
41
11100BS–ATARM–31-Jul-12
The reset circuitry is based on a zero-power power-on reset cell and a brownout detector cell.
The zero-power power-on reset allows the Supply Controller to start properly, while the software-programmable brownout detector allows detection of either a battery discharge or main
voltage loss.
The Slow Clock generator is based on a 32 kHz crystal oscillator and an embedded 32 kHz RC
oscillator. The Slow Clock defaults to the RC oscillator, but the software can enable the crystal
oscillator and select it as the Slow Clock source.
The Supply Controller starts up the device by sequentially enabling the internal power switches
and the Voltage Regulator, then it generates the proper reset signals to the core power supply.
It also enables to set the system in different low-power modes and to wake it up from a wide
range of events.
10.5
Clock Generator
The Clock Generator is made up of:
• One Low-power 32768 Hz Slow Clock Oscillator with bypass mode
• One Low-power RC Oscillator
• One 3-20 MHz Crystal Oscillator, which can be bypassed
• One Fast RC Oscillator, factory programmed. Three output frequencies can be selected: 4, 8
or 12 MHz. By default 4 MHz is selected.
• One 80 to 240 MHz PLL (PLLB) providing a clock for the USB Full Speed Controller
• One 80 to 240 MHz programmable PLL (PLLA), provides the clock, MCK to the processor
and peripherals. The PLLA input frequency is from 3 MHz to 32 MHz.

Power Management Controller
The Power Management Controller provides all the clock signals to the system. It provides:
• the Processor Clock, HCLK
• the Free running processor clock, FCLK
• the Cortex SysTick external clock
• the Master Clock, MCK, in particular to the Matrix and the memory interfaces
• the USB Clock, UDPCK
• independent peripheral clocks, typically at the frequency of MCK
• three programmable clock outputs: PCK0, PCK1 and PCK2
The Supply Controller selects between the 32 kHz RC oscillator or the crystal oscillator. The
unused oscillator is disabled automatically so that power consumption is optimized.
By default, at startup the chip runs out of the Master Clock using the fast RC oscillator running at
4 MHz.
The user can trim the 8 and 12 MHz RC Oscillator frequency by software.

10.16 Peripheral Signal Multiplexing on I/O Lines
The SAM4S features 2 PIO controllers on 64-pin version (PIOA and PIOB) or 3 PIO controllers
on the 100-pin version (PIOA, PIOB and PIOC), that multiplex the I/O lines of the peripheral set.
The SAM4S 64-pin and 100-pin PIO Controllers control up to 32 lines. Each line can be
assigned to one of three peripheral functions: A, B or C. The multiplexing tables in the following
paragraphs define how the I/O lines of the peripherals A, B and C are multiplexed on the PIO
Controllers. The column “Comments” has been inserted in this table for the user’s own comments; it may be used to track how pins are defined in an application.
Note that some peripheral functions which are output only, might be duplicated within the tables.
