Atmel SMART SAM4L Family MCUs Redefining the Power Benchmark: Lowest Active and Sleep Mode Power, Shortest Wake-Up Time Based on the powerful ARM Cortex -M4 processor and Our patented picoPower technology provides innovative Atmel picoPower technology, the Atmel SMART SAM4L power-saving features: family redefines the power benchmark, delivering the Atmel SleepWalking intelligent peripheralsallows a industrys most efficient microcontroller(MCU): peripheral to qualify and evaluate incoming data without Lowest power in Active mode: 90A/MHz using the CPU, eliminating unneeded processor wake-ups Lowest power in Sleep mode: 1.5A with full SRAM retention and conserving power Shortest wake-up time: down to 1.5s from deep-sleep mode Peripheral Event Systema real-time network that Up to 28 CoreMark/mA efficiency rating allows peripherals to communicate directly with each Operating voltage: 1.68V-3.6V other without using the CPU Unrivaled wake-upwhether on a proximity, a touch, 2 an I C address match or an ADC threshold, all without using the CPU Key Applications Designed from the ground up to be the industrys most power-efficient Cortex-M4 processor-based MCUs, the SAM4L family is ideal for battery-powered industrial, medical and consumer devices. Examples include: sensors and detectors, glucose and blood pressure meters, remote controls and toys. www.atmel.com/SAM4L SAM4L Efficiency: CoreMark/mA 28 12 MHz 10.8 SAM4L 5.2 Competitor 2 15.4 Competitor 1 48 MHz 8.4 5.0 0.0 5.0 10.0 15.0 20.0 25.0 30.0Key Benefits Ultra-low power consumption: picoPower technology ensures that devices are designed to consume the lowest power possible, while delivering long battery life without any performance sacrifice. Highly efficient signal processing: Thanks to the Cortex-M4 core, the SAM4L family provides highly efficient signal processing with extended single-cycle multiply-accumulate instructions, optimized SIMD arithmetic and saturating arithmetic instructions. Intelligent and efficient peripherals: SAM4L devices offer a broad range of peripherals that are integrated into the Peripheral Event System and feature SleepWalking technology, along with other embedded power-saving features. Ease of use: Backed by an ecosystem of design tools, the SAM4L family is easy to use, facilitating faster time to market. Design with the Atmel Studio integrated development environment (IDE), which includes thousands of project examples with source code, simulation tools and a powerful editor.
