Microchip Technology 32-Bit SAM E Microcontrollers

Microchip Technology 32-Bit SAM E Microcontrollers include mid-performance Arm® Cortex®-M4F based MCUs and high-performance Arm Cortex-M7 based MCUs. With a combination of a Floating-Point Unit (FPU) coprocessor, advanced analog features, and a full set of timing and control functions, SAM E MCUs are ideal for Internet of Things (IoT) or smart energy gateways, industrial automation, and building control applications.

The Microchip Technology SAM E5x MCUs feature a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M4 processor with FPU running at up to 120MHz, up to 1MB of dual-panel Flash with ECC, and up to 256KB of SRAM with ECC. These devices also have a 10/100 Ethernet MAC and two CAN FD ports for industrial automation, automotive, and general-purpose applications that require wired connectivity. The SAM E5x MCUs offer class-leading power performance and integrated hardware security, making these devices an ideal choice for low-power and secure connected applications.

The SAM E70 MCUs feature a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M7 processor with FPU running at up to 300MHz, up to 2048KB of Flash, 16KB each instruction plus data cache, and up to 384KB of SRAM. A QSPI, static memory, and SDRAM interface offer further memory extension options. The SAM E70 MCUs offer a rich set of advanced connectivity peripherals, including 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC supporting IEEE 1588, dual CAN FD 1.0, high-speed USB, and high-speed PHY. Additional interfaces include a camera, SD/MMC, one SSC supporting TDM and I2S, eight UARTs, five SPI, and three I2C.
