ATSAML22G16A-AUT - SAM L22G 32MHz Cortex-M0+ 64KB MCU | Microchip
The Microchip Technology ATSAML22G16A-AUT is an ultra-low-power 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller from the SAM L22G family, featuring 64KB of Flash, 8KB of SRAM, and a 32MHz maximum CPU clock, housed in a 48-pin TQFP (7x7 mm) package. It is designed for battery-powered and energy-harvesting applications where active-mode efficiency and deep-sleep current are critical design constraints.
An ultra-low-power microcontroller (MCU) is a class of embedded processor that combines a CPU core, non-volatile memory (Flash), volatile memory (SRAM), and a rich set of peripherals into a single IC, optimized to minimize energy consumption across active, idle, and sleep states. The Cortex-M0+ is ARM's smallest and most energy-efficient application processor core, and the SAM L22 family extends this efficiency with Microchip's proprietary power-management techniques. Within the broader taxonomy, this device is a 32-bit microcontroller, a sub-category of microcontrollers and embedded processors, falling under the Integrated Circuits > Microcontrollers category.
Key features include a Cortex-M0+ core running up to 32MHz, 64KB Flash for application code, 8KB SRAM for runtime data, an integrated 32kHz RTC and Segment LCD controller, and a wide operating voltage range of 1.62V to 3.63V. The device operates at 39 uA/MHz in active mode running CoreMark, and drops to as low as 490nA in ultra-low-power backup mode with RTC retention. It supports multiple low-power modes including Sleep, Standby, Backup, and Off, and provides a Segment LCD driver for glass displays up to 8 common segments.
The SAM L22 architecture combines an efficient ARM Cortex-M0+ pipeline with Microchip's Peripheral Event System and Sleepwalking peripherals, allowing the CPU to remain asleep while DMA-driven events handle sensor sampling and GPIO wakeups. An integrated 32kHz oscillator, full-speed USB 2.0 device, and Segment LCD controller further reduce external component count. The 48-pin TQFP package exposes multiple SERCOM, ADC, and touch-capable I/O lines, supporting a wide range of mixed-signal interfaces.
Typical applications include battery-powered sensor nodes, wearable health and fitness devices, smart thermostats and home automation, industrial IoT edge nodes, metering and instrumentation displays with built-in LCD support, and ultra-low-power wireless sensor end-nodes. The integrated Segment LCD controller makes it particularly well suited to products with a user-facing glass display that must run for years on a single coin cell.
When designing with this device, ensure that the supply rail is decoupled with at least one 100nF ceramic capacitor placed within a few millimetres of the VDD pins, and that the Segment LCD bias network is sized per the display manufacturer's recommended glass capacitance. Designers should evaluate the trade-off between using the integrated 32kHz crystal oscillator versus an external 32.768kHz crystal when RTC accuracy is critical to the application.
