ATSAM4N16CA-AU

The Atmel | SMART SAM4N 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 100 MHz and features up to 1024 Kbytes of Flash and up to 80 Kbytes of SRAM. The peripheral set includes 3 USARTs, 4 UARTs, 3 TWIs, 1 SPI, as well as 1 PWM timer, 2 three-channel general-purpose 16-bit timers (with stepper motor and quadrature decoder logic support), a low-power RTC, a low-power RTT, 256-bit general purpose backup registers, a 10-bit ADC (up to 12-bit with digital averaging) and a 10-bit DAC with an internal voltage reference. The SAM4N devices have three software-selectable low-power modes: Sleep, Wait and Backup. In Sleep mode, the processor is stopped while all other functions can be kept running. In Wait mode, all clocks and functions are stopped but some peripherals can be configured to wake up the system based on predefined conditions. In Backup mode, only the RTC, RTT, and wake-up logic are running. The Real-time Event Managment allows peripherals to receive, react to and send events in Active and Sleep modes without processor intervention. The SAM4N 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 SAM4N to sustain a wide range of applications including industrial automation and M2M (machine-to-machine), energy metering, consumer and appliance, building and home control. It operates from 1.62V to 3.6V and is available in 48, 64, and 100-pin QFP, 48 and 64-pin QFN, and 100-ball BGA packages. The SAM4N series offers pin-to-pin compatibility with Atmel SAM4S, SAM3S, SAM3N and SAM7S devices, facilitating easy migration within the portfolio. The SAM4N series is the ideal migration path from the SAM4S for applications that require a reduced BOM cost.
