Atmel's AT91SAM9G20 ARM Embedded MPU Wins Award From Portable Design Community

Rousset, France (ots/PRNewswire)

- Portable Design China Readers Voted the AT91SAM9G20 Best in
Class for Performance and Performance & Functionality vs Cost
Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) announced today that its 400
MHz AT91SAM9G20 ARM926EJ-S(TM)-based embedded microprocessor has been
voted one of the five best microcontrollers by the 2008 Portable
Design China Reader's Survey. The AT91SAM9G20 was the overall winner
in two significant categories: performance, and performance &
functionality vs cost. The awards were the outcome of one month of
on-line voting by Portable Design China's extensive readership base.
Alfredo Vadillo, Atmel's Managing Director for ARM(R)
microcontrollers, commented, "This is the second consecutive year
that an Atmel microcontroller has won a leading product award from
the readers of Portable Design China. This underlines the leadership
of our MCUs in the essential marketplace for portable devices, and
also indicates their high level of acceptance in the Chinese market.
The AT91SAM9G20, with its outstanding combination of high performance
and low power consumption, at a very affordable price, is one of the
exciting new products that we are adding to our well-established
AT91SAM ARM-based product family, in order to ensure its continued
leadership."
About Atmel's Award-Winning AT91SAM9G20. The 400 MHz AT91SAM9G20
features Atmel's market-leading peripheral DMA (direct memory access)
and distributed memory architecture that, together with the 6-layer
bus matrix, enables multiple simultaneous data transfers between
memories, peripherals and external interfaces without consuming CPU
clock cycles. The external bus interface (EBI) is clocked at 133 MHz
for high-speed transfers to off-chip memories. This architecture
gives the device the high internal and external data bandwidth
required by many embedded networked applications.
Networking and communications requirements are met by an Ethernet
10/100 Base T MAC, seven USARTs, 12M bps USB Full Speed Dual Host and
Device ports, dual SPI, SSC and Two-Wire Interface (TWI). Image
sensing requirements are met by a fully integrated Image Sensor
Interface (ISI).
Power consumption in full-power operating mode at 400 MHz with
all peripherals turned on is only 80 mW. The AT91SAM9G20 also
features four reduced-power modes, including Backup Mode where the
main power supply is off and the device power consumption is
sufficiently low (9uW) for an extended period of operation under
battery supply.
