SAM3N Description

Atmels SAM3N series is a member of a family of Flash microcontrollers based on the high performance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 RISC processor. It operates at a maximum speed of 48 MHz and features up to 256 Kbytes of Flash and up to 24 Kbytes of SRAM. The peripheral set includes 2x USARTs, 2x UARTs, 2x TWIs, 3x SPI, as well as 1 PWM timer, 6x general purpose 16-bit timers, an RTC, a 10-bit ADC and a 10-bit DAC.
