Atmel SAM4N Entry Point to the Atmel ARM Cortex-M4-Based Flash MCU Portfolio The Atmel® SAM4N series comprises the entry point to our portfolio of ARM® Cortex®-M4-based Flash microcontrollers (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 • High level of integration — SAM4N devices offer fast serial communication with seven UARTs, four SPIs and three I2Cs. 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. Key Applications • Industrial Automation and M2M (machine-to-machine) • Process transmitters • RF modules • Asset tracking • Consumer and Appliance • Toys and mobile accessories • Energy Metering • Smart meters • Low-end data concentrators • Building and Home Control • • • • • Sensors and actuators Control panels Room control units Keypads Low-cost gateways(WAN/HAN) (wireless- and home-area-network) Atmel SAM4N Entry Point to the Atmel ARM Cortex-M4-Based Flash MCU Portfolio Design Tools and Ecosystem Atmel offers a full suite of hardware tools for evaluation and prototyping with the SAM4N series. All SAM4N evaluation tools are supported by the Atmel Studio 6 IDP and integrated Atmel QTouch® library support for buttons, sliders and wheels. They are backed by a worldwide support ecosystem of industry-leading suppliers of development tools, real-time operating systems, and middleware products to make your design process easier and reduce time-to-market. SAM4N Xplained Pro The Atmel Xplained Pro platform consists of a main board with multiple expansion ports plus extension boards, including OLED LCD displays, buttons, sensors and more. The board is available as a standalone kit. The extension boards can also be purchased separately.
