Atmel SAM4N
Entry Point to the Atmel ARM Cortex-M4-Based
Flash MCU Portfolio
The Atmel^® SAM4N series comprises the entry point to our
portfolio of ARM^® Cortex^®-M4-based Flash microcontrollers
(MCUs). These MCUs feature a 100MHz operating frequency
and offer up to 1MB of Flash, multiple serial communication
peripherals, and analog capability. This combination of features—
plus low power consumption—makes the SAM4N series ideal
for a wide range of applications in industrial automation, consumer
and appliance, and energy metering markets.
The SAM4N series offers pin-to-pin compatibility with Atmel
SAM4S, SAM3S, SAM3N and SAM7S devices, facilitating easy
migration within the portfolio.
Key Features
• High level of integration — SAM4N devices offer fast serial communication with seven UARTs, four SPIs and three I²Cs.
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 170µA/MHz in Active mode; as low as 20µA in sleep mode with full RAM retention and wake-up time down to 10µs;
requiring as little as 1µA in backup mode with the RTC running.
• Ease of use — The ecosystem of software tools and support for the Atmel Studio 6 integrated development platform
(IDP) enables an efficient design process and reduces time to market.
