Atmel AVR XMEGA will provide you eXtra more
If you like the AVR ATmega microprocessors, then the AVR XMEGA offer you even more reasons why to use them in your appliances.
Single-chip microprocessors AVR ATmega have gained a huge popularity all over
the world. Because an excellent can also be even better, Atmel Corporation came
to the market with the innovated series of these processors under marking XMEGA.
Generally known excellent properties of 8 bit RISC processors AVR
Atmega, were further improved by developers in Atmel Corporation in this new
line of 8/16 bit AVR XMEGA processors. That they succeeded, testifies this
concise overview of innovations:
- fast precise 12 bit AD converter (ADC)
- fast 12 bit DA converter (DAC)
- DMA controller for CPU independent data
transfer
- event system, most of peripherials and the DMA controller can use
it, what significantly offloads CPU
- ultra low power consumption - picoPOWER
technology for a minimal consumption of 100nA in the Power down mode
- EBI
bus for RAM extension, peripherials (LCD) or memory-mapped devices
- free
Qtouch library for operation with capacitive touch panels
- full speed USB
connectivity without external crystal (at some models)
- free AVR Software
Framework including all common USB device classes
- LCD display driver for a
direct connection of LCD to processor
- true 1.6V operation and speeds up to
32 MHz
- AES, DES crypting protocols
- 3-level interrupt controller
(priority is freely user definable)
- CRC modul (cyclic redundancy check) for
data integrity check
- RTC (real time clock) with optional battery backup
system
- analog comparators with adjustable hysteresis and propagation delay
- external oscillator failure detection – in case of failure, CPU will start
operation with the internal 2MHz oscillator
- supply voltage 1.6 to 3.6V
You can watch the features overview of XMEGA processors in the video under
this article. Basic informations will provide you the
XMEGA Features overview as
well as the
Getting started document. On the
Atmel website you can find many
documents about various processor´s parts and its usage in the concrete
applications.
