Refrigeration

Power efficiency is key for refrigeration equipment. To meet today's green energy requirements, refrigerators and freezers must include support for global efficiency standards, as well as advanced communications for smart metering. The Atmel® intelligent, customizable microcontrollers provide flexible connectivity options and power efficient architectures that are an excellent fit for refrigeration applications.

Refrigeration

Features and Benefits

  • A variety of 8- and 32-Bit microcontrollers which are dedicated to motor control, providing support for BLDC motors, AC motors, and switched reluctance motors.
  • Atmel solutions meet energy efficiency requirements such as Energy Star and European regulations to deliver maximum efficiency.
  • Standards-based IEC60730 is provided by the Atmel "Class B" library, which speeds time to market by enabling designers to focus primarily on the application.
  • Atmel AVR 32-bit microcontrollers feature a multi-layer databus and DMA controller that make them a perfect fit for HMI applications where high bandwidth is required.
  • Robust touch sensor technology, featuring the Atmel QTouch® library, lets designers add capacitive touch buttons, wheels and sliders at no additional cost.
  • Native 5 volts support is available on the Atmel megaAVR® and Atmel tinyAVR® microcontrollers.
  • High integration solutions, such as motor control and HMI touch in a Single-chip, help reduce BOM.
  • ZigBee Pro compatibility enables standards-compliant connectivity and smart metering.
  • Node authentication capability supports smart meter infrastructure connections.

Refrigerators are an N1 energy consumer, and require power-efficient technology. Atmel microcontroller and wireless products are a perfect fit to help you to design products with granular energy control and efficiency.
