What is ATSAMD21G18A-AU？

ATSAMD21G18A-AU is a low power microcontroller with 32-bit ARM Cortex –M0+ processor to provide high performance and functions for a wide range of applications. It consists of 256KB flash program memory size, 32KB SRAM, 38 general-purpose I/O pins, 12-bit ADC resolution and comes with TQFP Tray package. These are manufactured for simple and instinctive migration with similar peripheral modules, similar linear address map, hex compatible code pins and pin suitable migration paths in all chips of ATSAMD21 series.

It has precise and accurate lower power internal and external oscillators that can be used for the source of the system clock. Two idle and stand-by sleep modes can be selected by software and also supports SleepWalking.

ATSAMD21G18A-AU contains additional intelligent, flexible and effective peripheral, compatible for capacitive touch screen, wheel user interface, slider and event system for inter peripheral signalling. It is supported with a full suite of program and system development tools including in-circuit emulators, C compilers, evaluation kits, macro assemblers,  and program debugger/simulators.

Applications

There are many applications of ATSAMD21G18A-AU in automation, consumer, metering and industrial applications such as

• Home automation
• Consumer electronics
• Senors and instrumentation
• Appliances
• Monitoring medical equipment
• Circuitry to control processes.
• Lighting and Motor control
• Rectification
• Power regulation
• DAC applications
• Memory testing

It is very useful for applications that only want the processor to work when an interrupt takes place and the applications that require deterministic execution timings. In order to support applications with different types of motor control, ballast, LED, H-bridge, power converter, and other types of power switching applications, the following independent units are implemented in some of the TCC instances as optional and successive units:

• Recoverable faults and non-recoverable faults
• Output matrix
• Dead-time insertion
• Swap
• Pattern generation
