Atmel | SMART SAM4E Series MCUs
ARM Cortex-M4 Processor-Based Devices for
Industrial Automation and Building Control Applications
The Atmel | SMART SAM4E family of microcontrollers (MCUs)
delivers a rich set of advanced connectivity peripherals and a floating
point unit (FPU). Based on the 32-bit ARM Cortex -M4 processor,
SAM4E devices operate up to 120MHz and offer up to 1024KB of
Flash, 2KB of cache memory and up to 128KB of SRAM. The family
further extends a growing Atmel portfolio of ARM processor-based
devices.
The SAM4E family offers a rich set of advanced connectivity peripherals
such as a 10/100Mbps Ethernet MAC supporting IEEE 1588 and dual
CAN. With a single-precision FPU, advanced analog features as well
as a full set of timing and control functions, SAM4E MCUs are ideal for
industrial automation, home and building control, machine-to-machine
communications, automotive aftermarket and energy management
applications.

Faster Development with Integrated Platform
As with all of Atmels AVR and ARM Cortex-M processor-based devices, the SAM4E family is supported by the Atmel
Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Available as a free download, Atmel Studio includes the Atmel Software
Framework, a complete library of source code, project examples, drivers and stacks. The IDE also features the Atmel Gallery
apps store for embedded tools and extensions and the Atmel Spaces collaborative workspace for software and hardware
projects based on Atmel microcontrollers.
Head Start on Your Designs
Get a fast start on your designs with the SAM4E-EK evaluation kit, featuring a SAM4E16EA microcontroller. The SAM4E-EK
board is based on the integration of an ARM Cortex-M4 processor with on-board NAND Flash and a set of popular peripherals.
It is designed to provide a high-performance, highly flexible processor evaluation platform for a wide range of applications.
