SAM3U Series
1. SAM3U Description
Atmel's SAM3U series is a member of a family of Flash microcontrollers based on the high per-
formance 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 RISC processor. It operates at a maximum speed of 96 MHz
and features up to 256 Kbytes of Flash and up to 52 Kbytes of SRAM. The peripheral set
includes a High Speed USB Device port with embedded transceiver, a High Speed MCI for
SDIO/SD/MMC, an External Bus Interface with NAND Flash controller, up to 4xUSARTs
(SAM3U1C/2C/4C have 3), up to 2xTWIs (SAM3U1C/2C/4C have 1), up to 5xSPIs
SAM3U1C/2C/4C have 4), as well as 4xPWM timers, 3xgeneral purpose 16-bit timers, an RTC,
a 12-bit ADC and a 10-bit ADC.
The SAM3U architecture is specifically designed to sustain high speed data transfers. It includes
a multi-layer bus matrix as well as multiple SRAM banks, PDC and DMA channels that enable it
to run tasks in parallel and maximize data throughput.
It can operate from 1.62V to 3.6V and comes in 100-pin and 144-pin LQFP and BGA packages.
The SAM3U device is particularly well suited for USB applications: data loggers, PC peripherals
and any high speed bridge (USB to SDIO, USB to SPI, USB to External Bus Interface).
1.1 Configuration Summary
The SAM3U series differ in memory sizes, package and features list. Table 1-1 summarizes the
configurations of the six devices.
Note: 1. The SRAM size takes into account the 4-Kbyte RAM buffer of the NAND Flash Controller (NFC) which can be used by the
core if not used by the NFC.

Notes: 1. PIOA: Schmitt Trigger on all except PA14 on 100 and 144 packages.
2. PIOB: Schmitt Trigger on all except PB9 to PB16, PB25 to PB31 on 100 and 144 packages.
3. PIOC: Schmitt Trigger on all except PC20 to PC27 on 144 package.
4. TDO pin is set in input mode when the Cortex-M3 Core is not in debug mode. Thus an external pull-up (100 kΩ) must be
added to avoid current consumption due to floating input.
3.1 Design Considerations
In order to facilitate schematic capture when using a SAM3U design, Atmel provides a “Sche-
matics Checklist” Application note.

SAM3U Series
5. Power Considerations
5.1 Power Supplies
The SAM3U product has several types of power supply pins:
VDDCORE pins: Power the core, the embedded memories and the peripherals; voltage
ranges from 1.62V to 1.95V.
VDDIO pins: Power the Peripherals I/O lines; voltage ranges from 1.62V to 3.6V.
VDDIN pin: Powers the Voltage regulator
VDDOUT pin: It is the output of the voltage regulator.
VDDBU pin: Powers the Slow Clock oscillator and a part of the System Controller; voltage
ranges from 1.62V to 3.6V. VDDBU must be supplied before or at the same time than VDDIO
and VDDCORE.
VDDPLL pin: Powers the PLL A, UPLL and 3-20 MHz Oscillator; voltage ranges from 1.62V
to 1.95V.
VDDUTMI pin: Powers the UTMI+ interface; voltage ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V, 3.3V nominal.
VDDANA pin: Powers the ADC cells; voltage ranges from 2.0V to 3.6V.
Ground pins GND are common to VDDCORE and VDDIO pins power supplies.
Separated ground pins are provided for VDDBU, VDDPLL, VDDUTMI and VDDANA. These
ground pins are respectively GNDBU, GNDPLL, GNDUTMI and GNDANA.
5.2 Voltage Regulator
The SAM3U embeds a voltage regulator that is managed by the Supply Controller.
This internal regulator is intended to supply the internal core of SAM3U but can be used to sup-
ply other parts in the application. It features two different operating modes:
In Normal mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 700 µA static current and draws
150 mA of output current. Internal adaptive biasing adjusts the regulator quiescent current
depending on the required load current. In Wait Mode or when the output current is low,
quiescent current is only 7µA.
In Shutdown mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 1 µA while its output is driven
internally to GND. The default output voltage is 1.80V and the start-up time to reach Normal
mode is inferior to 400 µs.
For adequate input and output power supply decoupling/bypassing, refer to “Voltage Regulator”
in the “Electrical Characteristics” section of the product datasheet.
5.3 Typical Powering Schematics
The SAM3U supports a 1.8V-3.6V single supply mode. The internal regulator input connected to
the source and its output feed VDDCORE. Figure 5-1, Figure 5-2, Figure 5-3 show the power
schematics.
