Summary Atmel s SAM4L series is a member of a family of Flash microcontrollers based on the high performance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 RISC processor running at fre- quencies up to 48MHz. The SAM4L series embeds state-of-the-art picoPower technology for ultra-low power consumption. Combined power control techniques are used to bring active current consumption down to 90 A/MHz. The device allows a wide range of options between functionality and power consumption, giving the user the ability to reach the lowest possible power consumption with the feature set ATSAM---e required for the application. The WAIT and RETENTION modes provide full logic and RAM retention, associated with fast wake-up capability (<1.5s) and a very ARM-based low consumption of, respectively, 3 A and 1.5 A. In addition, WAIT mode sup- Flash MCU ports SleepWalking features. In BACKUP mode, CPU, peripherals and RAM are powered off and, while consuming less than 0.9 A with external interrupt wake- up supported. SAM4L Series The SAM4L series offers a wide range of peripherals such as segment LCD con- troller, embedded hardware capacitive touch (QTouch), USB device & embedded host, 128-bit AES and audio interfaces in addition to high speed 2 serial peripherals such as USART, SPI and I C. Additionally the Peripheral Event System and SleepWalking allows the peripherals to communicate directly with each other and make intelligent decisions and decide to wake-up the system on 2 a qualified events on a peripheral level such as I C address match or and ADC threshold.
