Industrial communications are at the heart of automated systems. Atmel® microcontrollers provide the peripherals and the internal system architecture required to efficiently interface your product with leading field busses and growing wireless communications.
An innovative serial communication module (SERCOM) is fully software-configurable to handle I2C, USART/UART and SPI communications. With multiple SERCOM modules on a device, you can tailor the peripheral mix precisely to your application. The I2C on the SAM D 21 can operate up to 3.4 MHz (I2S, PMBus, and SMBus are also supported). The SAM D11 and SAM D10 also support IrDA.
The Event System allows peripherals to communicate directly without involving the CPU. It is a routing network independent of the traditional data paths like for instance buses. Different triggers can be at the peripheral level that would result in event; like a data transfer to another peripheral.
Beyond these, SAMD21 and SAMD11 serial support full speed USB (Device and Host), DMA and I2S interfaces.
With SERCOM, Event System and USB interfaces, SAMD serial device can be an ideal Industrial Interface Converter. |
