MICROCHIP ATSAMD21G18A Microcontroller, 48MHz, 256kB Flash, 32kB SRAM

The MICROCHIP ATSAMD21G18A-AU is a powerful yet low-power ARM Cortex-M0+ based microcontroller, offering an optimal balance of performance and energy efficiency for embedded designs. It features up to 256kB of flash memory and 32kB of SRAM, providing ample space for complex applications.

Designed for straightforward migration within the series, it offers identical peripheral modules, hex-compatible code, a linear address map, and pin-compatible upgrade paths. This simplifies design scaling and future-proofing.

Key features include an intelligent Event System for efficient inter-peripheral communication without CPU intervention, and built-in support for capacitive touch interfaces (buttons, sliders, wheels). Its advanced clock system allows different domains to run at independent frequencies, enabling significant power savings while maintaining high CPU performance.
