Atmel® recognizes the increasing importance of Wi-Fi capability in embedded systems. Atmel AVR® and ARM-based microcontrollers provide a great combination of low power and high-performance features that are essential for a successful embedded Wi-Fi capability. These MCU products are known for their ease of use and excellent support. Atmel has also worked closely with select Wi-Fi solution providers to deliver a similar experience in their offerings.
Our Wi-Fi solution partners offer a range of chipset, module and system-level solutions. They have designed several Wi-Fi add-on boards for use with Atmel evaluation boards. A complete evaluation setup will require an Atmel board and a Wi-Fi add-on board.

The Atmel® SAM3S Cortex™ M3 Flash MCU integrates features to simplify PCB design and reduce power consumption down to 2.3 mW at 1 MHz, 1.45mW/MHz at 64 MHz operation and 1.6 uA in backup mode with the RTC running. Inspired by the best-selling SAM7S series, the SAM3S is the ideal migration path to a more powerful and feature-rich MCU. A renewed peripheral set provides system control, sensor interfaces, an optional external parallel bus interface, connectivity and user interface support.

The SAM9G devices build the foundation of the Atmel® ARM926®-based embedded MPU line. Designed to complement the power of the ARM926 core, these flexible devices deliver a rich combination of peripherals in a highly integrated design. The high bandwidth architecture is based on a multi-layer bus matrix, multiple DMA channels and External Bus Interface to ensure internal and external data flows with minimum processor overhead. Integrated power management techniques preserve the power budget and reduce BOM cost.
To ease application development, evaluation boards are available, delivered with free packages for Android™, Microsoft® Windows® and Linux®. The SAM9G devices are fully supported by a worldwide ecosystem of industry-leading suppliers of development tools, operating systems, protocol stacks and applications.

The 32-bit AVR UC3 takes efficiency to a new level, going beyond high performance and low power consumption. Native fixed point DSP support, dual port SRAM, multi layer data bus, peripheral DMA controller, peripheral event system and intelligent peripherals move performance and power consumption to the next step.
The peripheral DMA controller and multi-layer high-speed bus architecture make the UC3 microcontrollers ideal for high throughput applications. Intelligent peripherals and dynamic power control make UC3 devices the obvious choice for portable and battery-powered applications. Selected UC3 devices include an integrated Floating Point Unit (FPU) which improves arithmetic performance on decimal numbers, with better precision and wider dynamic range.
