introduces the XMEGA™ – a brand new AVR
®
microcontroller. With the same acclaimed
characteristics as the established AVR devices, the XMEGA operates from just 1.6 volt with up to
32 MIPS at 32 MHz.
Time critical real-time and interrupt driven applications become safer, more responsive, and predict-
able with XMEGA. AVR XMEGA features a CPU independent Event System, DMA controller, and Mul-
tilevel Interrupt Controller. With multiple time bases, extreme communication bandwidth and special
features like Cryptography support, XMEGA is number one for demanding 8- and 16-bit embedded
applications. At the same time XMEGA’s 2nd generation picoPower™ technology with only 100 nA
sleep current is the best choice for battery operated and energy critical applications.
