ATSAM4LC4BA-UUR
ATSAM4LC4BA-UUR - Cortex-M4 120MHz 256KB WLCSP-64 | Microchip
The Microchip Technology ATSAM4LC4BA-UUR is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 flash microcontroller with 256KB embedded flash and 32KB SRAM, operating at up to 48MHz core frequency from a 1.62V to 3.6V supply, housed in a 64-ball WLCSP (VFBGA) wafer-level package on tape and reel.
A microcontroller unit (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a processor core, memory, and peripherals into one package, sitting within the broader hierarchy of semiconductor devices under embedded processors and system-on-chip families. The ATSAM4LC4BA-UUR belongs to the SAM4L family, Microchip's (formerly Atmel's) ultra-low-power Cortex-M4 MCU line, targeted at battery-powered and energy-harvesting systems where every microamp matters.
The headline feature of the SAM4L family is class-leading energy efficiency: 90 uA/MHz active-mode current, 1.5 uA in sleep mode, and wake-up times down to 1.5 us, figures cited by Microchip as the lowest power and shortest wake-up in any Cortex-M4-based device. Beyond raw power figures, the device integrates an LCD controller with up to 8x40 segment driving capability, hardware cryptography accelerators (AES, DES, Triple-DES, RSA, SHA, ECC via a dedicated crypto engine), a USB host/device controller, DMA with peripheral event system, and multiple serial interfaces (USART, SPI, TWI/I2C).
Architecturally, the Cortex-M4 core includes DSP instructions and single-cycle multiply-accumulate, enabling efficient signal processing. Microchip's peripheral event system allows peripherals to communicate without CPU intervention, dramatically reducing active duty cycle in sensor applications. A flexible power controller with multiple sleep modes, plus a built-in buck converter in some SAM4L power configurations, further extends battery life in wearables and metering products.
Typical applications include battery-powered metering, portable medical and wellness devices, smart sensors, industrial IoT nodes, and consumer electronics with segment LCD displays, where the combination of 256KB flash, LCD control, and cryptographic security in a compact 64-ball WLCSP footprint is a decisive fit.
A key design consideration is the WLCSP package itself: ball-grid soldering requires reflow processes and careful PCB land-pattern design, and the fine 0.4-0.5mm ball pitch demands attention to trace routing and underfill decisions; verify the exact ball map in the manufacturer datasheet before layout.
