ATSAML10E16A-MF

Overview

The ATSAML10E16A-MF is a 32-bit microcontroller from the Microchip SAM L10 series, built on the ARM Cortex-M23 core. It features 64KB of in-system programmable flash memory and 8KB of SRAM. The device operates at clock speeds up to 32MHz and supports a supply voltage range of 1.62V to 3.63V. It includes an internal oscillator and provides 25 general-purpose I/O pins. Connectivity options include I2C, LINbus, SPI, and UART/USART interfaces. The component is housed in a 32-VQFN (5x5) package and is rated for industrial operating temperatures between -40°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates ARM Cortex-M23 processor with TrustZone security support
• Includes analog peripherals such as 12-bit ADCs and a 10-bit DAC
• Supports low-power operation modes for extended battery life
• Features hardware crypto engine for secure data processing

Applications

• Smart home automation controllers
• Industrial sensor nodes
• Wearable health monitoring devices
• Battery-powered IoT endpoints

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MF' indicates the tube packaging format rather than tape and reel. Confirm the temperature grade corresponds to the industrial range (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 32-VQFN package. Check for any recent engineering change notices affecting pinout or electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this part when 64KB of program storage and 8KB of RAM are required within the SAM L10 family. It is suitable for applications needing multiple communication interfaces and analog conversion capabilities. Consider the VQFN package constraints for thermal management and assembly processes. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the available sleep modes.

Part Context

This component belongs to the ATSAML10 series, designed for ultra-low-power applications. It shares architectural similarities with the ATSAML11 series but lacks certain advanced cryptographic features found in higher-tier models. The SAM L10 line targets cost-sensitive embedded systems requiring reliable performance in compact form factors.

Replacement Considerations

ATSAML10E16A-MUT offers identical specifications in tape-and-reel packaging. ATSAML10D16A-MF provides the same memory configuration in a smaller VQFN-24 package.
