AVR XMEGA

8/16-bit High Performance Low Power Flash Microcontrollers

Atmel® introduces the XMEGA™ – a brand new AVR® microcontroller. With the same acclaimed characteristics as the established AVR devices, the XMEGA operates from just 1.6 volt with up to 32 MIPS at 32 MHz.

Time critical real-time and interrupt driven applications become safer, more responsive, and predict- able with XMEGA. AVR XMEGA features a CPU independent Event System, DMA controller, and Mul- tilevel Interrupt Controller. With multiple time bases, extreme communication bandwidth and special features like Cryptography support, XMEGA is number one for demanding 8- and 16-bit embedded applications. At the same time XMEGA’s 2nd generation picoPower™ technology with only 100 nA sleep current is the best choice for battery operated and energy critical applications.
