Newark Element14, a division of Avnet Inc., now is stocking Microchip’s SAM L10 and SAM L11 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kits and associated microcontrollers for the Internet of Things (IoT).
The SAM L10 kit includes a low power MCU and allows for secured applications without battery constraints making it suitable for a range of applications such as wearables, gaming controls, energy harvesting, smart pens and industrial sensor nodes.
The SAM L11 includes integrated hardware security allowing users to develop increased security needs for remote keypads and authentication systems for smart cities and home automation, industrial automation and medical devices.
The microprocessors run at 32 MHz with memory configurations of up to 64 KB Flash and 16 KB SRAM. Both kits are built with picoPower technology and provide flexible power saving modes supported with power debugging and data visualizer tools to monitor and analyze power consumption in real time. This also helps developers to rapidly optimize system designs for lower power consumption with battery life improvements.
The kits also feature a peripheral touch controller (PTC) with superior capacitive touch interfaces that are four times faster than previous generation PTCs for high responsive and accurate touch sensing. The interface is supported by QTouch Configurator and QTouch Modular Library.
