AVR XMEGA 8/16-bit High Performance Low Power Flash Microcontrollers Atmel® 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 predictable with XMEGA. AVR XMEGA features a CPU independent Event System, DMA controller, and Multilevel 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. AVR XMEGA microcontrollers are the perfect solution for a wide range of applications.

Benefits  Event System - Like a reflex in the human body, the innovative XMEGA Event System enables inter-peripheral communication without CPU or DMA usage. This ensures 100% predictable and short response time. Up to 8 simultaneous events or interrupt conditions in the peripherals can automatically start actions in other peripherals.  Real 12-bit ADC and DAC - For high analog accuracy the XMEGA features high-speed 12-bit analog peripherals. Capable of up to 2 Msps, XMEGA’s ADCs deliver the fastest sample rate and most accurate result compared to conventional MCUs. Since XMEGA also features two 12bit digital-to-analog converters (DAC) with up to 1 Msps and four advanced analog comparators, XMEGA microcontrollers have leading analog integration.  DMA Controller - A 4-channel DMA Controller enables fast, CPU independent data transfer that significantly boosts performance. The DMA Controller in XMEGA handles transfers between all combinations of data memories and peripherals. The AVR CPU register file and multiple bus layers ensures that the data bus is always accessible for the XMEGA DMA Controller.  Programmable Multilevel Interrupt Controller - All peripherals have software selectable interrupt levels and different interrupt vectors. Important interrupts are executed immediately and tasks are prioritized with minimum latency.  Second Generation picoPower - Atmel’s picoPower technology have proven to be the industry leader in low power designs. With the 2nd generation picoPower technology, XMEGA MCUs run a Real-Time Counter, Watchdog Timer and Brown-out Detector with only 2 ìA current consumption. The XMEGA also incorporates true 1.6 volt operation and elements like dynamic clock switching, and frequency scaling for optimal power management.

Soft Processor

The Industry’s Most Flexible Embedded Processing Solution Xilinx unleashes the potential of embedded FPGA designs with the award winning MicroBlaze™ soft processor solution. The MicroBlaze core is a 32-bit RISC Harvard architecture soft processor core with 32 general purpose registers, ALU, and a rich instruction set optimized for embedded applications. It supports both on-chip block RAM and/or external memory. With the MicroBlaze soft processor solution, you have complete flexibility to select any combination of peripherals, memory and interface features that you need to give you the best system performance at the lowest cost on a single FPGA. For development, Xilinx offers the Embedded Development Kit (EDK), which

IAR Embedded Workbench

IAR Embedded Workbench is a set of development tools for building and debugging embedded applications using assembler, C and C++. IAR Embedded Workbench incorporates the IAR C/C++ Compiler, assembler, linker, librarian, text editor, project manager and C-SPY® Debugger into one integrated development environment (IDE). In a continuous workflow, you can create source files and projects, build applications and debug them in a simulator or on hardware. IAR Embedded Workbench offers the same intuitive user interface regardless of which microcontroller you have chosen to work with—coupled with general and targetspecific support for each device. Every IAR C/C++ Compiler contains both generic global optimizations as well as low-level chip-specific optimizations that ensure a small code size while taking advantage of all the specific features of your selected device. Reuse of code and migration to new microcontroller architectures is made easy as each IAR C/C++ Compiler uses the same naming convention. Whether you have a tight project schedule or are just eager to get started, IAR Embedded Workbench contains configuration files, code examples and template projects to get you going fast.

Key Features:  Fully integrated development environment for building and debugging embedded applications  Automatic checking of MISRA C rules for security-critical applications  State-of-the-art C-SPY Debugger  Extensive support for various hardware debug systems and real-time operating systems (RTOS) with built-in or 3rd party plug-ins  Flying start with ready-made device configuration files, code and project examples  Same use interface for all supported MCU architectures  Tight integration with other products from IAR Systems

Benefits  High performance and easy-to-use – More efficient development  Embedded focus and chip specific support - Smooth and fast development without having to be an hardware expert  Most compact and reliable code – Lower cost on device memory, more space for further product enhancement and higher product quality  Wide 3rd party support - Flexibility in choosing hardware debuggers and real-time operating systems which best suit your application  High code portability cross different MCUs – Lower cost in product development and maintenance  Excellent technical support – Faster development and shorter time to market  Flexible license models for enterprise, education and small business – Full budget control

Nu Horizons Online Learning Center is designed to provide a complete training experience for engineers — without having to leave the office. New supplier trainings are posted twice a month and range from new product overviews to in-depth technical training and potential design implementations. These live trainings are recorded and archived for your viewing convenience.

In order to simplify the design process, Nu Horizons has created a series of application notes designed to guide engineers through the process of interfacing different devices together. Using a detailed step-by-step approach, these design guides identify key elements in the design process. Topics in the application notes are organized by design task and each topic is a stand-alone section, with a short introduction or overview, followed by the step-by-step design guidelines. All steps include a sufficient level of detail to provide the designer with relevant information to proceed quickly and easily from start to finish.

Nu Horizons offers a wide range of development / evaluation boards, tools and kits featuring the latest technology from the most trusted suppliers in the industry.
