Overview

The ATSAMC21E17A-MUT is a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller designed for high-performance industrial and automotive applications. It is part of the SAM C series, operating at up to 48MHz and uniquely featuring a 5V operating voltage to improve noise immunity in harsh electrical environments.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the native 5V operation, which provides significantly better signal-to-noise ratios compared to standard 3.3V MCUs. It also includes dual CAN-FD interfaces and a Divide and Square Root Accelerator (DIVAS) to speed up mathematical computations for real-time control algorithms.

Applications

CAN Bus Nodes
Utilizing the dual integrated Bosch CAN-FD controllers for high-speed vehicle and industrial networking.
Industrial Motor Control
Driving brushless DC or stepper motors using the 5V logic levels and dedicated Timer/Counter for Control (TCC) peripherals.
Home Appliances
Managing white goods subsystems that require 5V signaling to interface with robust power electronics and sensors.
Power Converters
Implementing digital power control loops with the high-speed ADC and Sigma-Delta ADC capabilities.

Getting Started

Developers can use the SAM C21 Xplained Pro evaluation kit for rapid prototyping. The chip is fully supported by the Microchip XC32 compiler, Atmel Studio 7, and the MPLAB X IDE with Harmony v3 framework for peripheral configuration.
