ATSAME70Q21A-A 概要

The Microchip Technology ATSAME70Q21A-A is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M7 microcontroller with FPU operating at up to 300MHz, featuring 2MB of Flash and 384KB of SRAM, housed in a 144-pin LQFP package (20x20mm). The device integrates an advanced peripheral set including a High-Speed USB Host/Device with PHY, a 10/100Mbps Ethernet MAC with 1588 precision time protocol support, dual CAN-FD controllers, and a 16-bit HSPI interface for high-bandwidth peripherals.

A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, memory, and programmable peripherals. The ATSAME70Q21A-A sits within the high-performance tier of Cortex-M7 microcontrollers, which in turn belong to the ARM Cortex-M processor family designed for deterministic real-time embedded applications. As a member of the SAM E70 family, this part targets industrial networking, motor control, and graphical HMI applications where high computational throughput and deterministic interrupt response are essential.

Key features include a single-precision/double-precision FPU for floating-point DSP workloads, a 32KB instruction cache plus 32KB data cache, tightly-coupled SRAM for zero-wait-state code execution, and a Camera Interface for image sensor input. The device operates from 1.8V to 3.3V I/O with an internal voltage regulator, and supports industrial operating temperature ranges. An integrated cryptographic accelerator and True Random Number Generator (TRNG) provide hardware-accelerated security primitives for connected-embedded designs.

The Cortex-M7 core features superscalar instruction execution, branch prediction, and DSP extensions including SIMD instructions. This architecture delivers up to 1500 CoreMark performance, making the ATSAME70Q21A-A suitable for complex control loops and signal processing. The peripheral DMA controller (XDMAC) with linked-list descriptors offloads data movement from the CPU, preserving bandwidth for application logic.

Typical applications include industrial PLC and HMI panels, motor control FOC drives, industrial Ethernet nodes (EtherCAT/PROFINET), smart energy gateways, automotive infotainment and ADAS sensor fusion, and connected IoT edge gateways. The wide peripheral mix and 300MHz throughput make it ideal for deterministic multi-protocol industrial nodes.

When designing with this MCU, ensure the VDDCORE and VDDIO rails are sequenced correctly per the datasheet power-up requirements. Use the MPLAB Harmony 3 framework for peripheral drivers, and consider the PBGA-144 variant for designs requiring smaller footprint or improved thermal dissipation through the bottom thermal pad.

This page synthesizes drop-in alternatives, parametric comparisons, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, helping engineers select and qualify the ATSAME70Q21A-A for high-performance embedded designs.

Industrial PLC and HMI Panels

The ATSAME70Q21A-A fits industrial PLC and HMI panel designs because its 300MHz Cortex-M7 core delivers the throughput required to drive TFT LCDs via the EBI/HSPI while simultaneously handling real-time EtherCAT or PROFINET slave communications via the integrated Ethernet MAC. The 2MB Flash accommodates full HMI graphics assets, font tables, and protocol stacks, while the 384KB SRAM provides framebuffer headroom for QVGA/WVGA rendering. Hardware IEEE 1588 PTP timestamping achieves sub-microsecond synchronization to the master, critical for deterministic PLC scan loops. The dual CAN-FD controllers also enable side-channel communications with distributed I/O modules. Compared to lower-end Cortex-M4 alternatives, the Cortex-M7's superscalar pipeline and DSP extensions allow complex control algorithms to share the same MCU with HMI rendering, reducing BOM cost and PCB area.

🏭

Motor Control FOC Drives

The ATSAME70Q21A-A is well-suited for Field-Oriented Control (FOC) motor drives up to several kW due to its Cortex-M7 DSP extensions and 300MHz throughput. The integrated PWM timers (TC, PWM) with 16-bit resolution and complementary outputs drive three-phase inverter bridges at switching frequencies from 8kHz to 50kHz. The Cortex-M7's single-precision FPU accelerates Park/Clarke transforms and PI loops, while the 384KB SRAM holds field tables, observer state, and trajectory lookups without CPU stall. The quadrature decoder (QDEC) interfaces directly with incremental encoders, and the AFE (Analog Front End) with up to 24 ADC channels samples phase currents synchronously to PWM edges with minimal jitter. Compared to the ATSAM3X8E (Cortex-M3), the SAME70's cache and TCM reduce interrupt latency by 30-40%, enabling tighter control loops.

🌐

The ATSAME70Q21A-A's IEEE 1588 hardware timestamping makes it a strong choice for industrial Ethernet slave nodes requiring synchronization precision. The Ethernet MAC supports RMII/MII interface to an external PHY such as the LAN8742A, while the on-chip 1588 timer captures packet timestamps in hardware, bypassing software jitter. Combined with the Cortex-M7's 300MHz throughput, the MCU can process EtherCAT state machine, mailbox communication, and process data exchange within microsecond budgets. PROFINET IRT with 1ms cycle time is achievable with the 384KB SRAM holding the entire process image and alarm buffers. The 2MB Flash stores the protocol stack plus application firmware. The Cortex-M7's deterministic interrupt response keeps the network cycle consistent under heavy DSP load from sensor fusion algorithms.

⚡

Smart Energy Gateways

The integrated Ethernet MAC provides wired WAN/LAN uplink, while the Cortex-M7 core runs TLS 1.3 handshakes using the hardware AES and SHA accelerators, reducing connection-establishment time by 5-10x compared to software crypto. The 2MB Flash accommodates full TLS stacks, MQTT clients, and DLMS/COSEM libraries for smart meter data exchange, while the 384KB SRAM buffers measurement frames during network retransmissions. The dual CAN-FD controllers interface with residential energy meters and battery management systems, and the USB 2.0 High-Speed port supports local diagnostics or Wi-Fi/Ethernet dongles. Compared to Cortex-M4 designs, the SAME70's higher throughput reduces gateway latency in real-time demand-response scenarios.

🚗

Automotive Infotainment and Cluster Displays

The ATSAME70Q21A-A powers automotive digital instrument cluster and infotainment HMI applications where the Cortex-M7's DSP extensions and 300MHz throughput drive LVDS or RGB displays with graphics acceleration. The Camera Interface (ISI) accepts front/rear-view camera input for surround-view systems, while the 384KB SRAM holds compressed frame buffers. Hardware crypto accelerography secures CAN-FD vehicle network communications. While the standard ATSAME70Q21A-A is rated for -40C to +85C industrial temperatures, the SAME70 family includes -40C to +125C automotive-grade variants for under-hood applications. The integrated USB 2.0 High-Speed with PHY supports media playback from USB storage, eliminating external PHY components. Compared to the STM32F429, the SAME70's larger 384KB SRAM vs 256KB enables richer HMI rendering without external memory.

🧩

Connected IoT Edge Gateways

The ATSAME70Q21A-A is a strong fit for IoT edge gateways aggregating sensor data from multiple fieldbuses and forwarding to cloud platforms. The Cortex-M7 core at 300MHz runs lightweight edge-analytics inference (anomaly detection, FFT preprocessing) locally, reducing cloud bandwidth by 40-60% compared to gateway-and-cloud-only designs. The 2MB Flash stores multiple connectivity stacks (Wi-Fi via SPI, LoRa, BLE HCI), security libraries, and OTA bootloader with dual-image A/B partition. The 384KB SRAM handles TCP/TLS buffers and message queues for concurrent MQTT/HTTP clients. The integrated AES/SHA/TRNG accelerate TLS 1.3 connections, while the dual CAN-FD controllers bridge industrial sensors into MQTT pipelines. Compared to lower-density Cortex-M4 IoT MCUs, the SAME70's 2MB Flash eliminates the need for an external SPI flash for asset libraries.

💊

Medical Patient Monitoring Devices

The ATSAME70Q21A-A's Cortex-M7 DSP extensions and 300MHz throughput enable real-time signal processing for medical patient monitors including ECG, SpO2, and multi-parameter bedside units. The Cortex-M7's single-precision FPU accelerates digital filter cascades (notch, lowpass, baseline wander removal) while the 384KB SRAM buffers waveform data for simultaneous display and analysis. The 2MB Flash accommodates full algorithm libraries and trend databases for 24-hour patient data. The integrated Ethernet MAC enables HL7/MLLP or MQTT communications with central nurses' stations, while USB 2.0 High-Speed provides local data export to USB drives. Compared to lower-MIPS designs, the SAME70's DSP throughput enables complex arrhythmia detection algorithms to run in real time. Hardware AES acceleration secures HIPAA-compliant patient data transmissions.

The ATSAME70Q21A-A and ATSAME70Q21B-AN are members of the same SAM E70 family but differ in silicon revision and temperature grade. The 'B' revision (ATSAME70Q21B-AN) is a minor silicon update typically offering the same Flash (2MB), SRAM (384KB), and peripheral set, but may include errata fixes and slightly improved electrical characteristics. Both share the LQFP-144 footprint in their respective suffix variants.
ATSAME70Q21A-A vs STM32F407VGT6 - which is better for motor control?
For motor control, the ATSAME70Q21A-A offers Cortex-M7 + FPU at 300MHz with 384KB SRAM and Ethernet/USB integrated, while the STM32F407VGT6 is Cortex-M4F at 168MHz with 1MB Flash and 192KB SRAM. The SAME70 wins on raw DSP throughput and Ethernet/PTP support, while the STM32F407 wins on Flash density and a larger ecosystem. For FOC drives up to 50kHz PWM, the SAME70 is preferred; for cost-sensitive simple control, the STM32F407 is competitive.
Is there a same-family drop-in replacement for ATSAME70Q21A-A?
Yes. The ATSAME70N20A-AN is the closest same-family drop-in replacement: same Cortex-M7 core, same LQFP-144 footprint, same SAM E70 platform with full peripheral compatibility, but with 1MB Flash instead of 2MB (-50%). Application code is portable without changes. ATSAME70N20A-AN is listed on XAIPART as an internal-link candidate. For the same Flash density in a BGA package, the ATSAME70Q21A-CN (LFBGA-144) is a same-footprint swap requiring PCB reballing only.
What is the best cross-brand equivalent for ATSAME70Q21A-A?
The best cross-brand equivalent is the STMicroelectronics STM32F407VGT6 (Cortex-M4F at 168MHz, 1MB Flash, LQFP-100, not LQFP-144) which is functionally similar but not pin-compatible - so it is NOT a drop-in. For a true cross-brand drop-in at Cortex-M7, the Renesas R7FA2L1AB3CFP (RA2L1) is lower-performance. In practice, most engineers choose SAME70 family members rather than cross-brand swaps because no competitor offers a true pin-compatible Cortex-M7 + Ethernet + USB-HS + CAN-FD combination at this Flash density.
When should I choose ATSAME70Q21A-A over ATSAME70N20A-AN?
Choose the ATSAME70Q21A-A when your firmware exceeds 1MB of Flash or you require headroom for over-the-air (OTA) dual-image storage with A/B partitioning. The 2MB Flash allows full Linux-style bootloader + application + assets layouts. Choose the ATSAME70N20A-AN when cost per unit is critical and your application fits within 1MB - the pin-compatible ATSAME70N20A-AN (same LQFP-144 footprint) saves approximately 15-20% on unit cost at volume.

The full pinout table is in the SAM E70 family datasheet.
What are the key specifications of ATSAME70Q21A-A that engineers should know?
The ATSAME70Q21A-A is a 300MHz Cortex-M7 MCU with 2MB Flash, 384KB SRAM, 32KB I-cache + 32KB D-cache, IEEE 1588 Ethernet MAC, USB 2.0 High-Speed with on-chip PHY, dual CAN-FD, AES/TRNG hardware crypto, 16-bit HSPI, camera interface, and 144-pin LQFP package. Operating voltage is 1.8V/2.5V/3.3V I/O with internal core LDO, industrial temperature range -40C to +85C, and CoreMark score approximately 1500. It is the highest-density Flash part in the SAM E70 family.
Is ATSAME70Q21A-A suitable for industrial Ethernet applications?
Yes, the ATSAME70Q21A-A is highly suitable for industrial Ethernet. It integrates a 10/100Mbps Ethernet MAC with hardware IEEE 1588 PTP timestamping, which is essential for EtherCAT, PROFINET IRT, and TSN applications requiring sub-microsecond synchronization. Combined with the 300MHz Cortex-M7 throughput and 384KB SRAM, it can run real-time industrial Ethernet slave stacks alongside application logic. For master-side applications, additional external PHYs and managed switches may be required.

選定ガイド

Choose the ATSAME70Q21A-A when you need the highest Flash density (2MB) in the SAM E70 family for OTA dual-image firmware, complex protocol stacks (TLS, EtherCAT, MQTT), or large embedded HMI asset storage. Its 300MHz Cortex-M7 with FPU, hardware IEEE 1588 Ethernet, USB 2.0 High-Speed with on-chip PHY, dual CAN-FD, and hardware AES/TRNG make it ideal for industrial Ethernet nodes, motor control FOC drives, and connected IoT gateways. Choose the ATSAME70N20A-AN when 1MB Flash is sufficient and you want cost savings; the ATSAME70Q21B-AN when you need the latest silicon revision; the ATSAME70Q21A-CN (BGA) when PCB area is critical. Avoid the ATSAMS70Q21A-AN unless Ethernet is intentionally not required - SAM S70 lacks Ethernet MAC. For non-Microchip designs, no drop-in equivalent exists at this Flash + peripheral combination - the STM32F407 is functionally similar but not pin-compatible, requiring a full PCB redesign.

設計ノート

Estimated: Power dissipation at 300MHz, 3.3V VDDIO, and full peripheral activity is approximately 0.5-0.8W. The LQFP-144 package has a typical theta_JA of 30 C/W, yielding a junction temperature rise of 15-24C above ambient. Place a thermal via array beneath the exposed die pad area (LQFP-144 has no exposed pad, so thermal relief must come from PCB copper pour). Connect all VSS pins to a continuous ground plane with at least 4 vias per VSS pin to minimize ground bounce during high-speed GPIO switching.

Estimated: Decouple VDDCORE with one 1uF X7R ceramic capacitor per VDDCORE pin (pins 16, 69, 109, 134) placed within 2mm of each pin. Decouple each VDDIO pin with one 100nF X7R within 3mm. Add a bulk 10uF X5R or tantalum capacitor at the regulator output feeding VDDIO. Keep the VDDCORE and VDDIO traces short and direct to the IC pins. The internal LDO has limited output current; if external loads are required from VDDCORE pins, the internal regulator may saturate and trigger a brownout reset.

Route the Ethernet RMII signals (ERXER, EMDC, EMDIO, ETXEN, ETX[1:0], ERX[1:0], ECRS, ECOL) as a matched-length group with 50 ohm controlled impedance on the top layer over a continuous ground plane. The USB 2.0 High-Speed DP/DM differential pair must be routed with 90 ohm differential impedance, length-matched to within 150 mil, and kept away from switching power components. Use the SAME70 Xplained Pro reference schematic as the baseline for HSPI certification logic.

Do not exceed 1.5V on VDDCORE pins - the internal LDO output is designed for the SAME70 core only and may be damaged by external voltage injection. When using the Ethernet MAC, ensure the LAN8742A PHY RESETn signal is released after the SAME70 comes out of reset; premature PHY clocking causes the GMAC link state machine to lock up. The internal Flash read-while-write feature only operates in specific banks; check the SAM E70 family datasheet for bank partitioning before designing OTA firmware updates.

Estimated: At maximum ambient temperature 85C and full-load operation at 300MHz, the junction temperature may approach 100-110C depending on PCB copper area. For designs operating above 70C ambient with sustained 300MHz CPU activity, add thermal relief through a 4-layer PCB with internal ground plane and at least 2 square inches of top-layer copper around the MCU footprint. If the design cannot guarantee thermal margin, consider the LFBGA-144 variant (ATSAME70Q21A-CN) which exposes a thermal pad on the bottom of the package for direct heatsink attachment.
