    AVR XMEGA 

8/16-bit High Performance Low Power Flash Microcontrollers

Atmel

®

  introduces  the  XMEGA™  –  a  brand  new  AVR

®

  microcontroller.  With  the  same  acclaimed 

characteristics as the established AVR devices, the XMEGA operates from just 1.6 volt with up to  
32 MIPS at 32 MHz.

Time critical real-time and interrupt driven applications become safer, more responsive, and predict-
able with XMEGA. AVR XMEGA features a CPU independent Event System, DMA controller, and Mul-
tilevel Interrupt Controller. With multiple time bases, extreme communication bandwidth and special 
features like Cryptography support, XMEGA is number one for demanding 8- and 16-bit embedded 
applications. At the same time XMEGA’s 2nd generation picoPower™ technology with only 100 nA 
sleep current is the best choice for battery operated and energy critical applications.
