Designers can connect the application supply directly to the AT73C237, increasing the level of analogue integration while minimising BOM cost and product size
The AT32UC3A0512 and AT32UC3A1512, the first devices available, deliver 80DMIPS at 66MHz and consume only 40mA at 3.3V.
The power consumption, as low as 1.65mW/DMIPS, outperforms other architectures with similar features by a ratio of up to 4x.
The new MCUs target networking and PC-centric embedded applications and are especially suited for portable devices.
