AT91 ARM® Thumb®-based Microcontrollers

Description

Atmel’s AT91SAM7S256 is a member of a series of low pincount Flash microcontrollers based on the 32-bit ARM RISC processor. It features a 256 Kbyte high-speed Flash and a 64 Kbyte SRAM, a large set of peripherals, including a USB 2.0 device, and a complete set of system functions minimizing the number of external components. The device is an ideal migration path for 8-bit microcontroller users looking for additional performance and extended memory.

The embedded Flash memory can be programmed in-system via the JTAG-ICE interface or via a parallel interface on a production programmer prior to mounting. Built-in lock bits and a security bit protect the firmware from accidental overwrite and preserves its confidentiality.

The AT91SAM7S256 system controller includes a reset controller capable of managing the power-on sequence of the microcontroller and the complete system. Correct device operation can be monitored by a built-in brownout detector and a watchdog running off an integrated RC oscillator

The AT91SAM7S256 is a general-purpose microcontroller. Its integrated USB Device port makes it an ideal device for peripheral applications requiring connectivity to a PC or cellular phone. Its aggressive price point and high level of integration pushes its scope of use far into the cost-sensitive, high-volume consumer market.
