Atmel announced the world’s highest-performing ARM® Cortex®-M-based microcontroller (MCU) with a 1500 CoreMark score. The new family of Atmel® | SMART™ ARM Cortex-M7-based MCUs is composed of four series: the SAM S70 general purpose, SAM E70 connectivity and SAM V70 and V71 automotive series.
Key Benefits
SAM E70 series features Dual CAN-FD and Ethernet MAC – IEEE1588
SAM V70 and SAM V71 will be automotive qualified grade 2 (-40C / 105C)
SAM V71 series features Ethernet Audio Video Bridging (AVB) MAC
The new Atmel | SMART ARM Cortex-M7-based MCUs are supported by the following development tools:
Several market-leading RTOS solutions are being ported to the SAM S70 and E70 series
The Atmel Software Package for the SAM S70 and E70 series includes a complete set of peripheral driver examples, facilitates board bring up and testing for the hardware designer, complements the datasheet for the software programmer to optimize software for the target device and facilitates software porting from previous MCUs.
Source code for the software package is available under Atmel SAM Software Package license, which offers source code reuse for commercial purposes without any publication obligation.
The Software Package includes a set of open source middleware that can be easily ported on an RTOS or bare metal software platform
AUTOSAR 4.0 (MCALs, OSEK and Communication stacks) is being ported to the SAM V70 and V71 automotive series.
A complete Automotive Ethernet Audio Video Bridging (AVB) stack is being ported to the SAM V71 series.
An ATSAMV71-XULT full-featured Xplained Ultra board covers all four series of Atmel | SMART ARM Cortex-M7-based MCUs
Broadening the Atmel | SMART ARM Cortex-M-based MCU portfolio, the new SAM E70 and the SAM S70 series devices are ideal for connectivity and general-purpose industrial, consumer and IoT applications, while the auto-grade SAM V70 and SAM V71 devices are ideal for in-vehicle infotainment connectivity, audio amplifiers, telematics and head control units companion device.
ST Microelectronics, Freescale and Cypress/Spansion have announced licensing of the ARM Cortex-M7 processor. Only ST Microelectronics has announced early customer sampling and disclosed product details.
