ARM-Based Microcontroller
DATASHEET SUMMARY
Description
The Atmel^® SAM D20 is a series of low-power microcontrollers using the 32-bit
ARM^® Cortex^®-M0+ processor, and ranging from 32- to 64-pins with up to 256KB Flash and
32KB of SRAM. The SAM D20 devices operate at a maximum frequency of 48MHz and
reach 2.14 Coremark/MHz. They are designed for simple and intuitive migration with
identical peripheral modules, hex compatible code, identical linear address map and pin
compatible migration paths between all devices in the product series. All devices include
intelligent and flexible peripherals, Atmel Event System for inter-peripheral signaling, and
support for capacitive touch button, slider and wheel user interfaces.
The Atmel SAM D20 devices provide the following features: In-system programmable Flash,
eight-channel Event System, programmable interrupt controller, up to 52 programmable I/O
pins, 32-bit real-time clock and calendar, up to eight 16-bit Timer/Counters (TC). The
timer/counters can be configured to perform frequency and waveform generation, program
execution timing or input capture with time and frequency measurement of digital signals.
The TCs can operate in 8- or 16-bit mode, or be cascaded to form a 32-bit TC. The series
provide up to six Serial Communication Modules (SERCOM) that each can be configured to
act as an USART, UART, SPI and I²C up to 400kHz; up to twenty-channel 350ksps 12-bit
ADC with programmable gain and optional oversampling and decimation supporting up to
16-bit resolution, one 10-bit 350ksps DAC, two analog comparators with window mode,
Peripheral Touch Controller supporting up to 256 buttons, sliders, wheels, and proximity
sensing; programmable Watchdog Timer, brown-out detector and power-on reset, and two-
pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) program and debug interface.
All devices have accurate and low-power external and internal oscillators. All oscillators can
be used as a source for the system clock. Different clock domains can be independently
configured to run at different frequencies while enabling power saving by running each
peripheral at its optimal clock frequency.
The SAM D20 devices have two software-selectable sleep modes, idle and standby. In idle
mode the CPU is stopped while all other functions can be kept running. In standby all clocks
and functions are stopped expect those selected to continue running. The device supports
SleepWalking, which is the module's ability to wake itself up and wake up its own clock, and
hence perform predefined tasks without waking up the CPU. The CPU can then be only
woken on a need basis, e.g. a threshold is crossed or a result is ready. The Event System
supports synchronous and asynchronous events, allowing peripherals to receive, react to
and send events even in standby mode.
The Flash program memory can be reprogrammed in-system through the SWD interface.
The same interface can be used for non-intrusive on-chip debug of application code. A boot
loader running in the device can use any communication interface to download and upgrade
the application program in the Flash memory.
The Atmel SAM D20 devices are supported with a full suite of program and system
development tools, including C compilers, macro assemblers, program
debugger/simulators, programmers and evaluation kits.
