ATSAM3S4BA-AUR
ATSAM3S4BA-AUR - 64MHz Cortex-M3 MCU 256KB Flash | Microchip
The Microchip Technology ATSAM3S4BA-AUR is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 RISC microcontroller from the SAM3S series, delivering 64 MHz maximum core speed, 256KB (256K x 8) Flash program memory, and 49KB SRAM in a 64-pin LQFP (10x10 mm) surface-mount package.
A microcontroller unit (MCU) is a single integrated circuit that combines a processor core, memory, and peripherals into one chip, forming the heart of embedded systems. Within the product hierarchy, the SAM3S sits under ARM Cortex-M3 based flash microcontrollers -> 32-bit MCUs -> embedded processors. The ATSAM3S4BA is a member of Microchip's (formerly Atmel) SAM3S series, a cost-optimized Cortex-M3 family targeting industrial and consumer embedded designs.
Key features include the 64 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 RISC core, 256KB of on-chip Flash, 49KB of SRAM, and a rich peripheral set covering HSMCI (high-speed multi-media card interface), I2C, I2S, IrDA, SPI, SSC (synchronous serial controller), TWI, UART, USART, and USB device connectivity. A DMA controller offloads the CPU by moving data directly to memory, improving real-time throughput.
Technically, the device operates from a single 1.62V to 3.6V supply (typical 1.8V/3.3V rails), and Microchip documents that it is pin-to-pin compatible with the SAM3N4B and SAM7S64, allowing footprint reuse and BOM migration across the family. The 10x10 mm 64-LQFP with 0.5 mm pitch is hand-solderable and suitable for two-layer and four-layer industrial boards.
Typical applications include industrial control nodes, consumer appliances, battery-powered portable instruments, and USB-connected sensor interfaces, where the Cortex-M3 performance, USB device port, and DMA-driven peripherals fit well.
When designing with this MCU, budget Flash and SRAM conservatively: 256KB Flash and 49KB SRAM are ample for bare-metal or RTOS-based control firmware, but leave headroom for OTA-style field updates.
