Atmel introduces next-gen SoC for smart metering
The Atmel SAM4CP16B is an extension of Atmel's SAM4Cx smart energy platform built on a dual-core 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 architecture. Fully compatible with Atmel's ATPL230A OFDM physical layer (PHY) device compliant with PRIME standard specification, this highly flexible solution addresses OEM's requirements for various system partitioning, BOM reduction and time-to-market requirements by incorporating independent application, protocol stack and physical layer processing functions within the same device.
Targeted for high-volume smart metering deployments, additional enhancements have been developed to meet PRIME standard specifications and provide unprecedented performance in rigorous environments.
Key features of the solution include integrated low-power driver, advanced cryptography, 1Mbytes of embedded Flash, 152Kbytes of SRAM, low-power RTC, and LCD controller.
