AT91SAM7S Series Preliminary
1.
Description
Atmel’s AT91SAM7S is a series of low pincount Flash microcontrollers based on the 32-bit ARM
RISC processor. It features a high-speed Flash and an SRAM, a large set of peripherals, includ-
ing a USB 2.0 device (except for the AT91SAM7S32 and AT91SAM7S16), and a complete set
of system functions minimizing the number of external components. The device is an ideal
migration path for 8-bit microcontroller users looking for additional performance and extended
memory.
The embedded Flash memory can be programmed in-system via the JTAG-ICE interface or via
a parallel interface on a production programmer prior to mounting. Built-in lock bits and a secu-
rity bit protect the firmware from accidental overwrite and preserves its confidentiality.
The AT91SAM7S Series system controller includes a reset controller capable of managing the
power-on sequence of the microcontroller and the complete system. Correct device operation
can be monitored by a built-in brownout detector and a watchdog running off an integrated RC
oscillator.
The AT91SAM7S Series are general-purpose microcontrollers. Their integrated USB Device
port makes them ideal devices for peripheral applications requiring connectivity to a PC or cellu-
lar phone. Their aggressive price point and high level of integration pushes their scope of use far
into the cost-sensitive, high-volume consumer market.

Configuration Summary of the AT91SAM7S512, AT91SAM7S256, AT91SAM7S128,
AT91SAM7S64, AT91SAM7S321, AT91SAM7S32, AT91SAM7S161 and AT91SAM7S16
The AT91SAM7S512, AT91SAM7S256, AT91SAM7S128, AT91SAM7S64, AT91SAM7S321,
AT91SAM7S32, AT91SAM7S161 and AT91SAM7S16 differ in memory size, peripheral set and
package.
Table 1-1 summarizes the configuration of the six devices.
Except for the AT91SAM7S32/16, all other AT91SAM7S devices are package and pinout
compatible.
Notes:
1. Fractional Baud Rate.
2. Full modem line support on USART1.
3. Only two TC channels are accessible through the PIO.
