What's new at Atmel |
| Atmel Launches $399 Starter Kit for ARM7-based Customizable Microcontrollers |
 |
Atmel recently announced its AT91CAP7A-STK Starter Kit for the evaluation of its ARM7™-based CAP™ family of customizable microcontrollers. CAP7 customizable MCUs allow designers to migrate ARM7-plus-FPGA designs to a low-NRE, single-chip solution with approximately 30% lower unit costs, with eight times better performance, 98% less static power consumption, and 70% less active power consumption.

| Atmel Targets Low Power Designs With World's First 1.8V 8-Megabit Serial Flash |
 |
Atmel recently announced the production availability of its new AT25DF081, the industry's first 8-megabit Serial Flash device capable of operating at 1.8-volts. With a low-voltage operating range of 1.65V to 1.95V, the AT25DF081 operates at the same voltage range as many current and upcoming sub-90nm ASICs and processors/controllers which allows system designers to finally create applications that can utilize a single supply voltage for all components in the system while also saving a significant amount of cost. Unlike devices that are screened to operate at lower voltages and subsequently de-rated, the AT25DF081 was designed specifically to operate at 1.8 volts, enabling the device to retain the same high levels of performance as its 3-volt counterpart.

| Application area in focus: New ATtiny167 LIN Controller with LIN2.1 protocol stack |
 |
The latest member of the AVR® Automotive road map is the ATtiny167. It includes a dedicated Hardware LIN UART specially optimized for LIN Master and Slave applications. Most customers rely on automotive software companies to provide the LIN protocol stack. A close co-operation with Mentor Graphics has resulted in a fully validated LIN2.1 protocol stack that was available in July.
All Atmel Automotive FAEs will receive the LIN2.1 Target Package for ATtiny167 (LTP) to be used for demonstration purpose with STK600+STK600-SOIC and ATtiny167 samples.
