SAM D10 and SAM D11 SMART ARM based microcontrollers from Atmel The SAM D10 / D11 is a low power microcontroller based on a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 + processor with a maximum frequency of 48MHz. The SAM D10 / D11 microcontrollers provide a wealth of peripherals, flexibility, and ease of use at a low entry price, making them well-suited for a variety of general-purpose uses, including home automation, consumer, metering, and industrial applications.
These devices integrate high-precision 12-bit analog and internal oscillators, two 16-bit timers / counters, one timer / counter for application control, real-time performance, and flexible clock options and sleep modes. These devices include a 6-channel DMA controller that supports memory and peripheral data transfers. The SAM D10D and D11D devices also include three (two in SAM D11C) serial communication modules (SERCOM) that can be configured from the application to serve as USART, UART, SPI, and I2C interfaces.
The SAM D11 also includes a full-speed USB 2.0 device interface. Both devices integrate the Atmel QTouch peripheral touch controller, which provides built-in hardware support for buttons, sliders, scroll wheels, and proximity, and supports mutual and self-capacitance touches without the need for external components. These devices also feature market-leading energy-saving technologies, including an event system that enables peripherals to communicate directly with each other without using a CPU.
Atmel SAM D10 / D11 devices provide in-system programmable flash, six-channel direct memory access (DMA) controller, programmable interrupt controller, and up to 22 programmable I / O pins. These devices are supported by a full suite of program and system development tools, including a C compiler, macro assembler, program debugger / emulator, programmer, and evaluation kit.
