Processor News, August 28, 2013 - Atmel Corporation, a global leader in MCU and touch solutions, today announced that they are shipping their new Atmel® SAM D20 in production quantities. This is the first series in a new family of ultra-low power embedded Flash microcontrollers based on the ARM® Cortex®-M0+ processor.

Features of Atmel SAM D20 Cortex-M0+ ARM-based Series

  • Integration: High precision 12-bit analog internal oscillators, up to eight timer/counters (8-bit), peripheral event system, real-time performance, and flexible clocking options and sleep modes.
  • Serial Communication: A serial communication module that can be configured from the application to act as a UART/SPI/I2C/USART. Each device in this new family includes four to six SERCOM modules.
  • Memory: 16 to 256KB of Flash memory.

Evaluation Kit

To accelerate design, the SAM D20 evaluation kits are available today for USD $39.
