ATSAML21E16B-AUT
ATSAML21E16B-AUT - 48MHz Cortex-M0+ MCU, 64KB Flash | Microchip
The Microchip ATSAML21E16B-AUT is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ ultra-low-power microcontroller from the SAM L21E family, Functional Safety (FuSa) series, integrating 64KB of Flash and 8KB of SRAM in a 32-pin TQFP (7x7 mm) package. It runs at up to 48MHz, supports an operating voltage range of 1.62V to 3.63V, and includes an AEC-Q100 automotive qualification plus on-chip hardware touch (PTC), 12-bit ADC, DAC, and multiple serial interfaces including SERCOM (configurable as I2C/SPI/USART), I2S, and USB 2.0 Full-Speed device.
A microcontroller (MCU) is a single-chip computer that integrates a CPU core, program and data memory, peripherals, and I/O. The Cortex-M0+ is ARM's smallest and most energy-efficient 32-bit core, designed for deterministic embedded control where cost, power, and code density matter. The SAM L21 family extends this baseline with dedicated power-domain gating that drops active consumption below 35 uA/MHz and Sleep mode consumption to roughly 200 nA, making the part suitable for always-on, battery-powered edge nodes.
Key differentiating features of the ATSAML21E16B-AUT include its Functional Safety (FuSa) support (IEC 60730 Class B library), up to 25 general-purpose I/O pins, a 12-bit 1 Msps ADC with up to 10 channels, two analog comparators, two DAC channels, a Real-Time Clock with calendar, and a Peripheral Touch Controller supporting buttons, sliders, wheels, and proximity sensing. Its SERCOM-based architecture allows each of the up to six serial interfaces to be software-configured as USART, I2C, or SPI, which dramatically simplifies BOM when multiple protocols are required.
Architecturally, the device combines an event system for hardware-triggered task chaining without CPU wakeup, a SleepWalking peripheral set that wakes the core only on qualified events, and a low-power segmented LCD controller (in larger pin-count variants) plus an integrated Full-Speed USB 2.0 device transceiver with on-chip pull-up. The 32-pin TQFP-EP exposed-pad package provides a thermal pad for improved heat spreading in space-constrained designs.
Typical applications include automotive body and HMI modules, ultra-low-power wireless sensor nodes, smart metering, wearable health and fitness devices, capacitive-touch user interfaces, USB-powered data loggers, and functional-safety industrial controls. The wide 1.62V-3.63V supply range supports direct operation from single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V regulated rails.
When designing with this part, budget sleep-mode current at the 200 nA level (RTC running) and account for an additional 35 uA/MHz in active mode. The SERCOM pads must be mapped explicitly to GPIO pins in firmware - pinout flexibility is high, but the trade-off is that an incorrect MUX setting silently disables a peripheral. Use the SAM L21 Errata sheet and the Microchip MPLAB X IDE Harmony 3 framework for validated peripheral drivers.
