Embedded World Nurnberg 2008Latest AVR news: Visit Atmel at Embedded World Nurnberg, booth #130 Hall 12, = and meet with an expert technologist to learn what's new in = Atmel's microcontroller offering and be the first to see = Atmel's newest, innovative MCU family. A New Member of the AVR=AE Family At EW2008, Atmel will unveil a major extension of the AVR = 8-bit microcontroller proprietary architecture. This new = family will extend the reach to 8/16-bit applications with = significant architectural enhancements and best-in-class low = power consumption characteristics. AVR picoPowerT Performance and power consumption have always been key = elements of AVR's development. Atmel's picoPowerT technology = enables AVR microcontrollers to achieve the industry's = lowest power consumption, whereas high-quality, low-cost = tools support the entire AVR family. 2.4 GHz Wireless AVR-based 2.4 GHz wireless solutions are using Atmel RF ISM = transceivers, achieving superior performance. This is an = ideal platform for applications based on IEEE 802.15.4, = ZigBeeT, 6LoWPAN, etc. A new evaluation kit with free = software/stacks will allow anyone to easily access the AVR = wireless technology at a very affordable price. Capacitive Touch Sensing Atmel will demonstrate products using capacitive = touch-sensing technology from Quantum Research Group = recently acquired by Atmel. 32-bit Microcontrollers & Processors Proprietary AVR32 MCU/DSP Optimized to deliver both high performance and low-power to = embedded systems, the UC3 & AP7 families achieve = best-in-class processing effectiveness. Atmel will announce = a major upgrade to the AVR32 development tool chain, = including a high-end emulation solution that will break the = usual price barrier for such debug capabilities. ARM (AT91SAM) Based on the industry-standard ARM=AE 32-bit RISC processor = architecture, Atmel Smart ARM7 and ARM9 microcontrollers' = product line provide the ideal mix of performance, = connectivity, security, and power economy. A new ARM7 Flash = microcontroller with ultra-low-power capability will be = added to the family. CAP (AT91CAP) Atmel's CAPT is a microcontroller-based system-on-chip = platform with fast local memory, a wide range of = industry-standard peripherals and interfaces, and a Metal = Programmable (MP) Block that allows the designer to add = custom logic. The AT91CAP9 development kit and starter kit = will be demonstrated. Automotive Solutions A car mock-up will demonstrate Atmel's AVR Flash = microcontroller and driver solutions - a performance and = feature set that is perfectly suited for many automotive = applications, including sensors and actuators control as = well as in-vehicle networking with FlexRayT, CAN and LIN. CryptoMemory=AE and CryptoRF=AE Atmel's CryptoMemory and CryptoRF provide truly secure means = of preventing product counterfeiting and/or piracy. A new = companion chip that offers a plug-and-play host-side = cryptographic security for embedded systems will be unveiled = at EW2008. Atmel technologists and experts will be on-hand sharing the = latest in embedded technology. Questions About This Event?
