SAM3U Description
Atmels SAM3U series is a member of a family of Flash microcontrollers based on the high performance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 RISC processor. It operates at a maximum speed of 96 MHz and features up to 256 Kbytes of Flash and up to 52 Kbytes of SRAM. The peripheral set includes a High Speed USB Device port with embedded transceiver, a High Speed MCI for SDIO/SD/MMC, an External Bus Interface with NAND Flash controller, up to 4xUSARTs (SAM3U1C/2C/4C have 3), up to 2xTWIs (SAM3U1C/2C/4C have 1), up to 5xSPIs SAM3U1C/2C/4C have 4), as well as 4xPWM timers, 3xgeneral purpose 16-bit timers, an RTC, a 12-bit ADC and a 10-bit ADC.
