1. Description
The AT91M42800A is a member of the Atmel AT91 16/32-bit microcontroller family, which is
based on the ARM7TDMI processor core. This processor has a high-performance 32-bit RISC
architecture with a high-density 16-bit instruction set and very low power consumption. In addi-
tion, a large number of internally banked registers result in very fast exception handling,
making the device ideal for real-time control applications. The AT91 ARM-based MCU family
also features Atmel’s high-density, in-system programmable, nonvolatile memory technology.
The AT91M42800A has a direct connection to off-chip memory, including Flash, through the
External Bus Interface.
The Power Management Controller allows the user to adjust device activity according to sys-
tem requirements, and, with the 32.768 kHz low-power oscillator, enables the AT91M42800A
to reduce power requirements to an absolute minimum. The AT91M42800A is manufactured
using Atmel’s high-density CMOS technology. By combining the ARM7TDMI processor core
with on-chip SRAM and a wide range of peripheral functions including timers, serial communi-
cation controllers and a versatile clock generator on a monolithic chip, the AT91M42800A
provides a highly flexible and cost-effective solution to many compute-intensive applications.
