SAM3S8 / SAM3SD8
Atmel | SMART ARM-based Flash MCU
DATASHEET Description
The Atmel В® | SMART SAM3S8/SD8 series is a member of a family of Flash
microcontrollers based on the high performance 32-bit ARMВ® CortexВ®-M3 RISC
processor. It operates at a maximum speed of 64 MHz and features 512 Kbytes of
Flash (dual plane on SAM3SD8) and 64 Kbytes of SRAM. The peripheral set
includes a Full Speed USB Device port with embedded transceiver, a High Speed
MCI for SDIO/SD/MMC, an External Bus Interface featuring a Static Memory
Controller providing connection to SRAM, PSRAM, NOR Flash, LCD Module and
NAND Flash, 2(3) USARTs (3 on SAM3SD8C), 2 UARTs, 2 TWIs, 3 SPIs, an I2S,
as well as a PWM timer, two 3-channel general-purpose 16-bit timers (with
stepper motor and quadrature decoder logic support), an RTC, a 12-bit ADC, a
12-bit DAC and an analog comparator.
The SAM3S8/SD8 series is ready for capacitive touch thanks to the QTouch В®
library, offering an easy way to implement buttons, wheels and sliders.
The SAM3S8/SD8 device is a medium range general purpose microcontroller with
the best ratio in terms of reduced power consumption, processing power and
peripheral set. This enables the SAM3S8/SD8 to sustain a wide range of
applications including consumer, industrial control, and PC peripherals.
It operates from 1.62V to 3.6V and is available in 64-and 100-pin QFP, 64-pin
QFN, and 100-pin BGA packages.
The SAM3S8/SD8 series is the ideal migration path from the SAM7S series for …
