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).
