SAM G5x Series ARM® Cortex®-M4 Microcont

Microchip's Atmel SMART SAM G family is optimized for ultra-low power and high-performance applications. Its small form factor is based on an ARM Cortex-M4 core and bundled with a floating-point unit (FPU). These devices offer unrivaled efficiency in a tiny 3 mm x 3 mm, 49-ball WLCSP package. The SAM G family is optimized with a highly efficient set of serial peripherals including a 12-bit ADC, DMA, and a good SRAM-to-Flash ratio. SAM G devices are ideal for sensor hub and battery-operated consumer applications.
