Many electronics industry analysts predict The Internet of Things (IoT) will experience 
phenomenal growth in the next few years, with connected devices numbering in the tens  
of billions. Since its inception 30 years ago, Atmel

®

 has provided innovations in the essential 

building blocks of IoT designs—from embedded processing and connectivity to sensors,  
security, and software. Atmel ties it all together with a rich ecosystem of design tools, including 

the free Atmel Studio IDE, making it simple to leverage these industry-leading technologies.

SAM4 & SAM G

Atmel ARM Cortex-M4 Summary

• SAM4N – Ideal for a wide range of applications in 

industrial automation, consumer and appliance, and 
energy metering markets. Pin compatible with SAM3S, 
SAM3N and SAM7S,

• SAM4S – Features a multi-layer bus matrix, multi-

channel direct memory access (DMA) and distributed 
memory to support high data rate communication.

• SAM4E – Offers a rich set of connectivity peripherals 

including 10/100Mbps Ethernet MAC supporting 
IEEE1588 and dual CAN as well as single-precision FPU.

• SAM4L – Ideal for power sensitive designs delivering 

down to 90uA/MHz in active mode as well as sleep 
mode with full RAM retention of 1.5uA and wake-up 
time of 1.5us.

• SAM G – Optimized for ultra-low power and high 

performance. Small form factor bundled with FPU,  
DMA and  good SRAM to flash ratio in a very tiny 
3x3mm package

Atmel Automotive Solutions 

You can rely on Atmel with over 30 years of design 
experience and expertise in the automotive field. You 
can also depend on us to support you with extensive 
demonstration and evaluation kits, reference boards, 
software, detailed documentation, and our expert staff  
of application engineers.

Automotive Microcontrollers

Our wide range of cost-effective, top-quality products 
with fully functional design kits support your designs, 
whether they are large, complex electronic systems 
for automotive safety or body control, or smaller, 
independent applications. 

Automotive Serial EEPROMs 

We offer a complete line of automotive temperature 
grade Serial EEPROMs supporting I

2

C, SPI and Microwire 

protocols. These products are ideal for high-speed 
designs in robust and noisy environments.

Automotive Touch 

The maXTouch

®

 family — known for its superior 

performance and rich feature set — is now qualified 
for automotive applications such as automotive 
touchscreens and touchpads used in center stack 
displays, navigation systems, radio human-machine 
interfaces (HMIs) and rear-seat entertainment systems.

Broadcast Radio

Backed by more than 30 years’ experience in designing 
broadcast radio solutions, as well as support for industry 
standards (ISO9001 and ISO16949), our solutions are 
ideal for the quality and performance requirements of 
the car radio market. 

CAN/VAN Networking

Controller Area Network (CAN) networking is widely 
used in electronic architectures for today’s modern 
vehicles. Atmel offers a wide range of solutions for CAN 
networking, including AVR 8-bit RISC microcontrollers 
and transceivers ready to go with data-rates up to 
5Mbit/s supporting the new CAN Flexible Data-rate 
standard (CAN FD). 

Car Access

Our devices support access applications including remote 
keyless entry (RKE) and passive entry/go (PEG) 
systems, so you can deliver the convenience as well as 
security that drivers expect. 

Drivers/High-Temperature ICs

With our devices, you can meet the stringent 
requirements of “under the hood” systems. We 
understand that high temperatures, strong mechanical 
vibration and fluctuating electromagnetic fields require 
products based on decades of good architecture, 
meticulous manufacturing and robust testing. 

Battery Management

Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries tend to overheat when 
overcharged or during deep discharge, so our devices are 
equipped to provide protection and safety features that 
are critical in high cell count Li-Ion battery applications. 

LIN Networking

Our devices support the low-cost local interconnect 
networking (LIN) systems that are used throughout 
automobiles for comfort, powertrain, sensor and  
actuator applications.
