32-bit MCUs SAM4N Microcontroller Family Entry Point to Microchip s ARM Cortex -M4-Based Flash MCU Portfolio Summary Microchip s SAM4N series comprises the entry point to our portfolio of ARM Cortex -M4-based Flash microcontrollers (MCUs). These MCUs fea- ture a 100 MHz operating frequency and offer up to 1 MB of Flash, multiple serial communication peripherals and analog capability. This combination of featuresplus low power consumptionmakes the SAM4N series ideal for a wide range of applications in industrial automation, consumer and appli- ance and energy metering markets. The SAM4N series offers pin-to-pin compatibility with SAM4S, SAM3S, SAM3N and SAM7S devices, facilitating easy migration within the portfolio. Key Features 2 High level of integration SAM4N devices offer fast serial communication with seven UARTs, four SPIs and three I Cs. Additional features include 12-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, integrated voltage reference, multiple timers, PWM and more. Low power consumption With its low-power architecture, the SAM4N MCU achieves power consumption levels down to 170 A/MHz in Active mode as low as 20 A in Sleep mode with full RAM retention and wake-up time down to 10 s requir- ing as little as 1 A in backup mode with the RTC running. Ease of use The ecosystem of software tools and support for the Atmel Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) enables an efficient design process and reduces time to market.
