Atmel adds 14 new devices to its Atmel AVR microcontroller family

Atmel has added 14 new devices to its Atmel AVR microcontroller (MCU) family.

New AVR devices include:

Atmel AVR XMEGA C MCUs: 8-/16-bit general-purpose MCUs with Full-Speed USB, AVR XMEGA C devices with up to 384KB Flash and up to 32KB of SRAM. The eight new devices available are ideal for consumer, industrial and home automation applications.

Atmel tinyAVR ATtiny1634 MCUs: Small-package, ultra-low power devices, the ATtiny 1634 MCUs feature multiple easy-to-use digital interfacing options-including more communication interfaces than existing devices in the product line-and up to 16KB Flash memory. This new device is ideal for interfacing and control in industrial and consumer applications.

Atmel AVR UC3 L3 MCUs: The AVR UC3 L3 MCUs feature ultra-low power consumption and more Flash memory, integrated USB controller, I2S support, audio bit-stream digital-to-analog converter (ABDAC) and package options with more pins.

Atmel AVR UC3 D4 MCUs: Offer enhanced performance and rich features-including a hardware-based QTouch capacitive touch interface and Full-Speed USB. The two new devices available are ideal for high data throughput applications in areas such as USB human interface, biometrics, bridging and industrial control.

"The newest additions to the Atmel AVR MCU family provide design engineers with more options than ever to meet their unique performance, power, price and connectivity requirements," said Ingar Fredriksen, senior director of AVR products at Atmel. "Whether they need a small and powerful chip for a smartphone or a lot of memory for a utility metering system, designers can count on our AVR MCUs to deliver the functions and features required to innovate and differentiate in these markets."
