ATSAM3X4CA-AUR 概要

The Microchip Technology ATSAM3X4CA-AUR is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller running at 84 MHz with 256 KB (256K x 8) of embedded Flash memory, housed in a 100-pin LQFP (14 x 14 mm) surface-mount package.

A microcontroller unit (MCU) integrates a processor core, program memory, data memory, and a rich set of peripherals onto a single silicon die, forming the heart of an embedded system. Within the semiconductor hierarchy, the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR belongs to the SAM3X family of ARM Cortex-M3-based flash microcontrollers, under the broader categories of 32-bit MCUs, embedded processors, and integrated circuits. Microchip (which acquired Atmel, the original SAM3X designer) positions this family for applications needing significant processing headroom, connectivity, and analog integration.

Key features of the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR include the 84 MHz Cortex-M3 core delivering 1.25 DMIPS/MHz performance, 256 KB of Flash program memory, flexible supply operation from 1.62 V minimum (nominally 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V rails), and a Green Industrial temperature rating suitable for demanding industrial environments. The device integrates USB connectivity and a multi-source interrupt controller typical of the SAM3X architecture.

Architecturally, the Cortex-M3 core combines a 3-stage pipeline with a Harvard bus structure, a nested vectored interrupt controller (NVIC) for deterministic low-latency interrupts, and a Thumb-2 instruction set that balances code density with performance. Flash memory is tightly coupled to the core for zero-wait-state execution in many access patterns, supporting real-time control loops.

Typical applications include industrial automation and control nodes, 3D printers and motion control systems, consumer devices requiring USB connectivity, and embedded instrumentation. The Arduino Due development platform popularized the SAM3X family, giving this device a large ecosystem of libraries and reference designs.

Design consideration: the device requires a 1.62 V minimum supply, so verify brown-out behavior on 3.3 V rails with high transient loads, and follow Microchip layout guidance for the LQFP-100 decoupling network.

🏭

Industrial Automation and Control

The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR fits industrial automation nodes because its 84 MHz Cortex-M3 core delivers deterministic interrupt handling via the NVIC, and its Green Industrial temperature rating targets factory-floor environments. In a typical control node it runs the real-time control loop, manages RS-485/CAN or UART fieldbus links, and processes sensor inputs, with the 256 KB Flash holding both protocol stacks and the application. Supply operation from a 3.3 V rail simplifies integration with industrial logic. Unlike 8-bit MCUs, the 32-bit core provides headroom for protocol processing without a second processor, while the LQFP-100 pin count supplies the GPIO density needed for I/O expansion.

🔧

3D Printers and Motion Control

The SAM3X family is widely used in 3D printer mainboards because the 84 MHz Cortex-M3 core executes step-generation timers and interpolation math fast enough for multi-axis motion. The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR with 256 KB Flash accommodates firmware such as Marlin-class control stacks, while the 100-pin LQFP exposes enough GPIO for stepper drivers, thermistor ADC channels, and end-stop inputs. Running from a 3.3 V rail, it interfaces cleanly with common stepper driver ICs. The Arduino Due lineage of the SAM3X family means proven open-source board designs and firmware support reduce development risk for motion-control products.

🖥️

USB-Connected Embedded Devices

The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR suits USB-connected devices through the SAM3X family's integrated USB peripheral, enabling device-class implementations such as CDC, HID, or mass storage without an external USB chip. In a typical design the MCU enumerates as a USB device to a host PC while simultaneously handling the application workload on the 84 MHz core; the 256 KB Flash stores descriptors, class drivers, and firmware. The LQFP-100 package supplies the GPIO for user interfaces, indicators, and auxiliary sensors. This makes the part appropriate for test pods, data loggers, and programming fixtures where a robust USB link is the primary host interface.

🧩

Embedded Instrumentation and Data Loggers

For battery-powered instrumentation and data loggers, the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR combines sufficient compute (84 MHz, 1.25 DMIPS/MHz) for signal processing with the peripheral integration needed to condition and sample analog inputs. The device runs from a 3.3 V rail with a 1.62 V minimum specification, compatible with low-dropout regulator-fed designs, and the Cortex-M3 sleep modes allow duty-cycled acquisition to extend battery life. The 256 KB Flash retains logged configuration and supports field firmware updates. The LQFP-100 pinout provides the ADC, timer, and communication channel mix typical of multi-sensor logging front ends.

📱

Consumer Electronics with Rich HMI

Consumer products that require a graphical or touch interface benefit from the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR's processing headroom and peripheral mix: the 84 MHz core can refresh small TFT displays over parallel or SPI interfaces while servicing touch and encoder inputs via interrupt-driven handlers. The 256 KB Flash accommodates UI assets and application logic, and the 100-pin LQFP provides the GPIO count for keypad matrices, LEDs, and interface connectors. The Green RoHS-compliant package meets consumer environmental requirements. Its ARM Cortex-M3 architecture also keeps code portable across the broader ARM ecosystem for future product derivatives.

⚡

Motor Drive and Power Control Subsystems

The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR serves motor drive subsystems where the Cortex-M3's fast interrupt latency and timer peripherals generate complementary PWM outputs with dead-time for inverter stages. At 84 MHz, the core executes field-oriented control arithmetic for single- and light multi-phase drives, while the 256 KB Flash holds control law tables and communication firmware for supervisory links. Designs typically pair the MCU with gate drivers on a 3.3 V logic interface. The Green Industrial rating and LQFP-100 package integrate cleanly into industrial drive boards, and the SAM3X toolchain supports Motor Control reference designs from Microchip.

What is the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR microcontroller and what are its key specifications?
The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller from Microchip Technology running at 84 MHz with 256 KB of Flash memory in a 100-pin LQFP (14 x 14 mm) package. It operates from a minimum supply of 1.62 V with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V nominal rails and carries a Green Industrial temperature rating. According to the Microchip datasheet and DigiKey product listing, it is part of the SAM3X series, the same family used on the Arduino Due.
Where can I buy ATSAM3X4CA-AUR and how much does it cost?
The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR is available from distributors including DigiKey, LCSC, Octopart-listed suppliers, and XAIPART. As of 2026-09-20, LCSC lists it in stock from approximately $9.69 per unit at single-quantity pricing, with volume discounts typically reducing the unit cost at 100 to 1000 pieces. DigiKey also shows the part with same-day shipping for stocked positions. Compare tiered pricing across distributors before placing volume orders.
What is the difference between ATSAM3X4CA-AUR and ATSAM3X4CA-AU?
The two parts are functionally identical; the suffix indicates packaging method. According to FindIC comparison data, ATSAM3X4CA-AUR is the Tape and Reel version for automated high-volume assembly, while ATSAM3X4CA-AU is supplied in trays. Both are 32-bit Cortex-M3 MCUs at 84 MHz with 256 KB Flash in the same LQFP-100 package, so either can be used interchangeably in a design; only the manufacturing flow and moisture-barrier bag quantity differ.
Is ATSAM3X4CA-AUR the same as the microcontroller on the Arduino Due?
The Arduino Due uses a related SAM3X family device (the ATSAM3X8E with 512 KB Flash), not the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR itself. However, the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR shares the same 84 MHz Cortex-M3 core architecture, peripheral set philosophy, and software ecosystem. Code written with Atmel/Microchip SAM software frameworks and ASF libraries is largely portable between SAM3X family members, and the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR benefits from the extensive Due-community tooling, bootloaders, and debugging know-how.
What is the best drop-in replacement for ATSAM3X4CA-AUR?
The closest drop-in replacement is the ATSAM3X4CA-AU, the tray-packaged version of the identical die in the same LQFP-100 package. For higher memory needs on the same footprint, the ATSAM3X8CA-AUR offers 512 KB Flash pin-to-pin compatible in LQFP-100. The ATSAM3A4CA-AU (SAM3A variant) also uses the 100-pin QFP footprint but drops the high-speed USB function, so verify peripheral requirements before substituting. All options preserve the PCB land pattern.
Can I replace ATSAM3X4CA-AUR with a larger Flash SAM3X device?
Yes. The ATSAM3X8CA-AUR doubles Flash to 512 KB while remaining pin-to-pin compatible in the LQFP-100 package, making it a common second-source during shortages or when firmware outgrows 256 KB. According to Microchip SAM3X family documentation, the memory map is upward compatible, so the substitution requires no PCB change. Confirm that your programmer and debugger firmware support the larger density device, and re-validate flash timing parameters in your bootloader.
What is the best non-Microchip (cross-brand) equivalent for ATSAM3X4CA-AUR?
There is no verified cross-brand pin-to-pin equivalent for the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR in the checked cross-reference data. Competitor Cortex-M3 parts such as the STM32F2 series or TI Stellaris/LM3S devices offer similar performance but use different pinouts and packages, requiring PCB redesign. For this reason, engineers facing shortages should first consider Microchip's own same-family alternatives (ATSAM3X8CA-AUR for more Flash), which are true drop-in replacements, before qualifying a cross-brand redesign.
Is ATSAM3X4CA-AUR suitable for industrial automation applications?
Yes. The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR carries a Green Industrial temperature rating per Microchip's product classification, making it targeted at industrial environments. Its 84 MHz Cortex-M3 core provides 1.25 DMIPS/MHz for control loops, and the 1.62 V minimum supply specification allows operation on standard 3.3 V industrial logic rails. Typical industrial uses include motor control, factory automation nodes, and embedded instrumentation, where the LQFP-100 pin count supplies ample GPIO and communication peripherals.
Where can I download the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR datasheet PDF and pinout?
The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR datasheet PDF is freely available from the Microchip Technology website and via the DigiKey product page (document listing 4119486), as well as from LCSC which provides datasheet, package, and pinout diagrams with its BOM tools. SnapEDA also offers free symbol and footprint libraries compatible with Altium, Eagle, KiCad, and OrCAD. Always download the latest revision from Microchip's official portal to ensure current electrical specifications and errata.
What supply voltage does the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR require?
The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR requires a minimum supply of 1.62 V and supports 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V nominal operation according to distributor specification data (FindIC lists 1.62 V DC minimum). In practice, most designs power it from a regulated 3.3 V rail. Microchip SAM3X devices implement separate VDDCORE and VDDIO domains internally, so follow the datasheet power architecture, include proper decoupling, and verify the brown-out detector threshold is set appropriately for your rail.
ATSAM3X4CA-AUR vs STM32F205 - which should I choose?
Choose the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR when you need the SAM3X ecosystem, Arduino Due software compatibility, or a drop-in for an existing SAM3X board; it offers 84 MHz Cortex-M3, 256 KB Flash, and Green Industrial rating. The STMicroelectronics STM32F205 offers a similar Cortex-M3 class performance but uses a different pinout and package, so it is not drop-in compatible. For new designs, compare peripheral needs (USB class, ADC count, timers); for sustaining an existing SAM3X design, stay within the SAM3X family to avoid a PCB respin.
How much does ATSAM3X4CA-AUR cost at volume and what is the lead time?
As of 2026-09-20, the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR is listed from approximately $9.69 at unit quantity on LCSC, with typical volume tiers (100/500/1000 pieces) reducing the effective unit price. DigiKey shows the part shipping same-day for in-stock positions, indicating favorable availability. For exact 500-piece or 1000-piece pricing and guaranteed lead times, request quotes from DigiKey, LCSC, or XAIPART, as distributor pricing fluctuates with inventory position and market demand.
Is ATSAM3X4CA-AUR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR is classified by Microchip as a Green package part, which indicates RoHS-compliant, lead-free construction per Microchip's product documentation and distributor listings. Microchip's Green designation also implies halogen-free packaging. For formal regulatory certificates such as REACH declarations or material composition reports, request the official compliance documentation package from Microchip or your distributor, as certificates are issued per date code and should be verified for your specific shipment.
What are the SAM3X family debugging and development tool options for ATSAM3X4CA-AUR?
The ATSAM3X4CA-AUR is programmed and debugged through the Cortex-M3 Serial Wire Debug (SWD) and JTAG interfaces exposed on the LQFP-100 package. Supported tools include Microchip's SAM-ICE (JTAG/SWD emulator), Atmel-ICE, and third-party CMSIS-DAP probes, together with Microchip Studio (formerly Atmel Studio) or IAR/Keil IDEs. The Arduino Due bootloader ecosystem also allows USB flashing for prototype work. SnapEDA provides verified LQFP-100 footprints to speed up board bring-up and library creation.

選定ガイド

Choose the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR when you need an 84 MHz 32-bit Cortex-M3 MCU with 256 KB Flash, 100-pin GPIO density, USB connectivity, and the mature Arduino Due-derived SAM3X ecosystem in an industrial-rated LQFP-100 package. If firmware is memory-constrained or growing, step up to the pin-compatible ATSAM3X8CA-AUR with 512 KB Flash on the identical footprint - no PCB change needed. If your application has no high-speed USB requirement, the ATSAM3A4CA-AU offers a similar SAM3 core on the same 100-pin footprint. Cross-brand Cortex-M3 parts (STM32F2, TI Stellaris) are not drop-in compatible and require a board redesign, so reserve them for new designs. For prototypes, the tray-packed ATSAM3X4CA-AU is easier to handle; for volume reflow assembly, this Tape and Reel version is the correct choice.

設計ノート

Power the ATSAM3X4CA-AUR from a regulated 3.3 V rail meeting the 1.62 V minimum with margin. SAM3X devices use internal LDO/decoupling architecture with separate VDDCORE and VDDIO domains - follow the Microchip datasheet power section for required external decoupling capacitors on each domain pin. Place 100 nF ceramic capacitors at every VDD/VDDIO pin pair plus one bulk 10 uF per rail region. Verify the brown-out detector setting matches your power supply ramp so the core never executes from under-volted Flash during startup.

For the 100-LQFP (14 x 14 mm) package, place the crystal and its load capacitors within a few millimeters of the oscillator pins with a solid ground guard ring to minimize jitter on the 84 MHz system clock. Route USB differential pairs as 90 ohm matched-length traces when using the USB peripheral. SnapEDA provides a verified LQFP-100 footprint for Altium, KiCad, and Eagle - use a verified footprint rather than a hand-drawn land pattern to avoid solder-bridge defects on the 0.5 mm pitch leads.

A common migration pitfall is assuming all SAM3X variants share identical peripherals: the ATSAM3A4CA-AU shares the 100-pin footprint but lacks the high-speed USB class of the SAM3X line, so firmware using USB HS will fail if substituted blindly. Also note the R suffix means Tape and Reel - for reflow assembly ensure your moisture sensitivity level (MSL) baking procedures match the floor-life of the bag opening date printed on the label.
