A high-speed on-chip RC oscillator accelerates wake-up from backup mode, further reducing average power consumption.

ATMEL

ARM® Cortex™-M3 and Cortex™-M4 Microcontrollers

ATMEL® SAM4S ARM® CORTEX™-M4 MICROCONTROLLERS Description: Based on the powerful ARM® Cortex™-M4 processor, the Atmel® SAM4S series extends the Atmel Cortex-M portfolio to offer: • Increased performance and power efficiency • Higher memory densities: up to 2MB of Flash and 160KB of SRAM • And a rich peripheral set for connectivity, system control and analog interfacing. Devices are pin-to-pin and software compatible with current SAM3 Cortex-M3 processor-based microcontrollers (MCUs), offering a smooth upwards migration path for performance and memory size. Key Features • Improved Performance Level — Built around the ARM® Cortex-M4 processor, the SAM4S operates at 120MHz and integrates Atmel's Flash read accelerator and optional cache memory to increase system performance. The SAM4S features a multi-layer bus matrix, multi-channel direct memory access (DMA) and distributed memory to support high data rate communication. • Low Power Consumption — The SAM4S series achieves 200µA/MHz in dynamic mode at a low operating frequency; 30mA at 120MHz; and 1µA at 1.8V in back-up mode with the real-time clock (RTC) running. Offering some of the best power consumption/performance rates on the market for standby mode, the SAM4S reaches 120MHz+ operating frequency with a RAM retention mode below 25µA. • Safety and Security — Integrated best-in-class hardware code protection: - Prevents access to on-chip memory to protect your intellectual property (IP). - Supports secure device reconditioning (chip erase) for reprogramming. - A unique 128-bit ID and scrambled external bus interface ensure software confidentiality while the hardware cyclic redundancy check (CRC) checks memory integrity.
