Overview

The ATSAMD21E17D-AZVAO is a Microchip ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller from the SAM D21 family. It combines 128 KB of Flash with USB support and an extended-temperature operating range in a compact 32-pin TQFP package. This makes it a practical choice for small embedded control designs that need a simple 32-bit MCU with native USB.

Why Choose This Part

This part gives you a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ core in a compact package, which is a good fit when an 8-bit MCU is too small but a larger device is unnecessary. Native USB support can reduce external component count for connected products. The extended-temperature grade also makes it more suitable for demanding environments than a standard commercial-only part.

Applications

USB device peripherals
Use it in custom USB interfaces, simple HID devices, or low-cost USB-connected controllers.
Compact control boards
Good for small embedded controllers where pin count and board size matter.
Sensor and actuator nodes
Suitable for reading sensors, driving outputs, and handling local control logic in industrial or IoT endpoints.
Prototyping and education
A solid 32-bit MCU option for learning embedded development or building proof-of-concept boards.
Low-power embedded products
Useful in designs that need a modest MCU with integrated USB and a small footprint.

Getting Started

For development, Microchip's SAM D21 ecosystem is commonly used with Atmel Studio or Microchip Studio, plus the ASF or Harmony framework depending on project needs. A SAM D21 Xplained Pro board or an Arduino Zero-style board is a practical way to evaluate the family before designing a custom PCB. For programming and debugging, use a compatible SWD debugger such as an Atmel-ICE or other CMSIS-DAP/J-Link class tool, and make sure your clock, USB, and bootloader settings are matched to the exact SAM D21 variant.
