Flash microcontrollers promise true 1.6V operation

Ultralow power consumption is combined with fast 12bit analogue functions, a DMA controller, an innovative event system and a crypto engine.

New from Atmel, the AVR XMEGA family is billed as an important addition to the company's successful AVR microcontrollers.

The system performance of AVR XMEGA expands the market reach for 8/16bit microcontrollers.

With second generation of picoPower technology, XMEGA is the only family of Flash microcontrollers with true 1.6V operation.
