SAM7S Series Summary
1. Description
Atmel’s SAM7S is a series of low pincount Flash microcontrollers based on the 32-bit ARM RISC
processor. It features a high-speed Flash and an SRAM, a large set of peripherals, including a
USB 2.0 device (except for the SAM7S32 and SAM7S16), and a complete set of system func-
tions minimizing the number of external components. The device is an ideal migration path for 8-
bit microcontroller users looking for additional performance and extended memory.
The embedded Flash memory can be programmed in-system via the JTAG-ICE interface or via
a parallel interface on a production programmer prior to mounting. Built-in lock bits and a secu-
rity bit protect the firmware from accidental overwrite and preserves its confidentiality.
The SAM7S Series system controller includes a reset controller capable of managing the power-
on sequence of the microcontroller and the complete system. Correct device operation can be
monitored by a built-in brownout detector and a watchdog running off an integrated RC
oscillator.
The SAM7S Series are general-purpose microcontrollers. Their integrated USB Device port
makes them ideal devices for peripheral applications requiring connectivity to a PC or cellular
phone. Their aggressive price point and high level of integration pushes their scope of use far
into the cost-sensitive, high-volume consumer market.
1.1 Configuration Summary of the SAM7S512, SAM7S256, SAM7S128, SAM7S64, SAM7S321,
SAM7S32, SAM7S161 and SAM7S16
The SAM7S512, SAM7S256, SAM7S128, SAM7S64, SAM7S321, SAM7S32, SAM7S161 and
SAM7S16 differ in memory size, peripheral set and package. Table 1-1 summarizes the configu-
ration of the six devices.
Except for the SAM7S32/16, all other SAM7S devices are package and pinout compatible.
Notes: 1. Fractional Baud Rate.
2. Full modem line support on USART1.
3. Only two TC channels are accessible through the PIO.

SAM7S Series Summary
5. Power Considerations
5.1 Power Supplies
The SAM7S Series has six types of power supply pins and integrates a voltage regulator, allow-
ing the device to be supplied with only one voltage. The six power supply pin types are:
• VDDIN pin. It powers the voltage regulator and the ADC; voltage ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V,
3.3V nominal.
• VDDOUT pin. It is the output of the 1.8V voltage regulator.
• VDDIO pin. It powers the I/O lines and the USB transceivers; dual voltage range is
supported. Ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V, 3.3V nominal or from 1.65V to 1.95V, 1.8V nominal.
Note that supplying less than 3.0V to VDDIO prevents any use of the USB transceivers.
• VDDFLASH pin. It powers a part of the Flash and is required for the Flash to operate
correctly; voltage ranges from 3.0V to 3.6V, 3.3V nominal.
• VDDCORE pins. They power the logic of the device; voltage ranges from 1.65V to 1.95V,
1.8V typical. It can be connected to the VDDOUT pin with decoupling capacitor. VDDCORE
is required for the device, including its embedded Flash, to operate correctly.
During startup, core supply voltage (VDDCORE) slope must be superior or equal to 6V/ms.
• VDDPLL pin. It powers the oscillator and the PLL. It can be connected directly to the
VDDOUT pin.
No separate ground pins are provided for the different power supplies. Only GND pins are pro-
vided and should be connected as shortly as possible to the system ground plane.
In order to decrease current consumption, if the voltage regulator and the ADC are not used,
VDDIN, ADVREF, AD4, AD5, AD6 and AD7 should be connected to GND. In this case VDDOUT
should be left unconnected.
5.2 Power Consumption
The SAM7S Series has a static current of less than 60 µA on VDDCORE at 25°C, including the
RC oscillator, the voltage regulator and the power-on reset. When the brown-out detector is acti-
vated, 20 µA static current is added.
The dynamic power consumption on VDDCORE is less than 50 mA at full speed when running
out of the Flash. Under the same conditions, the power consumption on VDDFLASH does not
exceed 10 mA.
5.3 Voltage Regulator
The SAM7S Series embeds a voltage regulator that is managed by the System Controller.
In Normal Mode, the voltage regulator consumes less than 100 µA static current and draws 100
mA of output current.
The voltage regulator also has a Low-power Mode. In this mode, it consumes less than 25 µA
static current and draws 1 mA of output current.
Adequate output supply decoupling is mandatory for VDDOUT to reduce ripple and avoid oscil-
lations. The best way to achieve this is to use two capacitors in parallel: one external 470 pF (or
1 nF) NPO capacitor must be connected between VDDOUT and GND as close to the chip as
possible. One external 2.2 µF (or 3.3 µF) X7R capacitor must be connected between VDDOUT
and GND.

SAM7S Series Summary
Adequate input supply decoupling is mandatory for VDDIN in order to improve startup stability
and reduce source voltage drop. The input decoupling capacitor should be placed close to the
chip. For example, two capacitors can be used in parallel: 100 nF NPO and 4.7 µF X7R.
5.4 Typical Powering Schematics
The SAM7S Series supports a 3.3V single supply mode. The internal regulator is connected to
the 3.3V source and its output feeds VDDCORE and the VDDPLL. Figure 5-1 shows the power
schematics to be used for USB bus-powered systems.

SAM7S Series Summary
6. I/O Lines Considerations
6.1 JTAG Port Pins
TMS, TDI and TCK are schmitt trigger inputs. TMS and TCK are 5-V tolerant, TDI is not. TMS,
TDI and TCK do not integrate a pull-up resistor.
TDO is an output, driven at up to VDDIO, and has no pull-up resistor.
The JTAGSEL pin is used to select the JTAG boundary scan when asserted at a high level. The
JTAGSEL pin integrates a permanent pull-down resistor of about 15 kΩ to GND, so that it can be
left unconnected for normal operations.
6.2 Test Pin
The TST pin is used for manufacturing test, fast programming mode or SAM-BA Boot Recovery
of the SAM7S Series when asserted high. The TST pin integrates a permanent pull-down resis-
tor of about 15 kΩ to GND, so that it can be left unconnected for normal operations.
To enter fast programming mode, the TST pin and the PA0 and PA1 pins should be tied high
and PA2 tied to low.
To enter SAM-BA Boot Recovery, the TST pin and the PA0, PA1 and PA2 pins should be tied
high for at least 10 seconds. Then a power cycle of the board is mandatory.
Driving the TST pin at a high level while PA0 or PA1 is driven at 0 leads to unpredictable results.
6.3 Reset Pin
The NRST pin is bidirectional with an open drain output buffer. It is handled by the on-chip reset
controller and can be driven low to provide a reset signal to the external components or asserted
low externally to reset the microcontroller. There is no constraint on the length of the reset pulse,
and the reset controller can guarantee a minimum pulse length. This allows connection of a sim-
ple push-button on the pin NRST as system user reset, and the use of the signal NRST to reset
all the components of the system.
The NRST pin integrates a permanent pull-up resistor to VDDIO.
6.4 ERASE Pin
The ERASE pin is used to re-initialize the Flash content and some of its NVM bits. It integrates a
permanent pull-down resistor of about 15 kΩ to GND, so that it can be left unconnected for nor-
mal operations.
6.5 PIO Controller A Lines
• All the I/O lines PA0 to PA31on SAM7S512/256/128/64/321 (PA0 to PA20 on SAM7S32) are
5V-tolerant and all integrate a programmable pull-up resistor.
• All the I/O lines PA0 to PA31 on SAM7S161 (PA0 to PA20 on SAM7S16) are not 5V-tolerant
and all integrate a programmable pull-up resistor.
Programming of this pull-up resistor is performed independently for each I/O line through the
PIO controllers.
5V-tolerant means that the I/O lines can drive voltage level according to VDDIO, but can be
driven with a voltage of up to 5.5V. However, driving an I/O line with a voltage over VDDIO while
the programmable pull-up resistor is enabled will create a current path through the pull-up resis-
15
6175JS–ATARM–28-Jul-11
SAM7S Series Summary
tor from the I/O line to VDDIO. Care should be taken, in particular at reset, as all the I/O lines
default to input with the pull-up resistor enabled at reset.
6.6 I/O Line Drive Levels
The PIO lines PA0 to PA3 are high-drive current capable. Each of these I/O lines can drive up to
16 mA permanently.
The remaining I/O lines can draw only 8 mA.
However, the total current drawn by all the I/O lines cannot exceed 150 mA (100 mA for
SAM7S32/16).

8.8 Embedded Flash
8.8.1 Flash Overview
• The Flash of the SAM7S512 is organized in two banks (dual plane) of 1024 pages of 256
bytes. The 524,288 bytes are organized in 32-bit words.
• The Flash of the SAM7S256 is organized in 1024 pages (single plane) of 256 bytes. The
262,144 bytes are organized in 32-bit words.
• The Flash of the SAM7S128 is organized in 512 pages (single plane) of 256 bytes. The
131,072 bytes are organized in 32-bit words.
• The Flash of the SAM7S64 is organized in 512 pages (single plane) of 128 bytes. The 65,536
bytes are organized in 32-bit words.
• The Flash of the SAM7S321/32 is organized in 256 pages (single plane) of 128 bytes. The
32,768 bytes are organized in 32-bit words.
• The Flash of the SAM7S161/16 is organized in 256 pages (single plane) of 64 bytes. The
16,384 bytes are organized in 32-bit words.
• The Flash of the SAM7S512/256/128 contains a 256-byte write buffer, accessible through a
32-bit interface.
• The Flash of the SAM7S64/321/32/161/16 contains a 128-byte write buffer, accessible
through a 32-bit interface.
The Flash benefits from the integration of a power reset cell and from the brownout detector.
This prevents code corruption during power supply changes, even in the worst conditions.
When Flash is not used (read or write access), it is automatically placed into standby mode.
8.8.2 Embedded Flash Controller
The Embedded Flash Controller (EFC) manages accesses performed by the masters of the sys-
tem. It enables reading the Flash and writing the write buffer. It also contains a User Interface,
mapped within the Memory Controller on the APB. The User Interface allows:
• programming of the access parameters of the Flash (number of wait states, timings, etc.)
• starting commands such as full erase, page erase, page program, NVM bit set, NVM bit
clear, etc.
• getting the end status of the last command
• getting error status
• programming interrupts on the end of the last commands or on errors
The Embedded Flash Controller also provides a dual 32-bit prefetch buffer that optimizes 16-bit
access to the Flash. This is particularly efficient when the processor is running in Thumb mode.
Two EFCs are embedded in the SAM7S512 to control each bank of 256 Kbytes. Dual plane
organization allows concurrent Read and Program. Read from one memory plane may be per-
formed even while program or erase functions are being executed in the other memory plane.
One EFC is embedded in the SAM7S256/128/64/32/321/161/16 to control the single plane
256/128/64/32/16 Kbytes.

SAM7S Series Summary
8.8.3 Lock Regions
8.8.3.1 SAM7S512
Two Embedded Flash Controllers each manage 16 lock bits to protect 16 regions of the flash
against inadvertent flash erasing or programming commands. The SAM7S512 contains 32 lock
regions and each lock region contains 64 pages of 256 bytes. Each lock region has a size of 16
Kbytes.
If a locked-region’s erase or program command occurs, the command is aborted and the

Table 8-1 summarizes the configuration of the eight devices.
8.8.4 Security Bit Feature
The SAM7S Series features a security bit, based on a specific NVM Bit. When the security is
enabled, any access to the Flash, either through the ICE interface or through the Fast Flash Pro-
gramming Interface, is forbidden. This ensures the confidentiality of the code programmed in the
Flash.
Table 8-1. Flash Configuration Summary
Device Number of Lock Bits Number of Pages in the Lock Region Page Size
SAM7S512 32 64 256 bytes
SAM7S256 16 64 256 bytes
SAM7S128 8 64 256 bytes
SAM7S64 16 32 128 bytes
SAM7S321/32 8 32 128 bytes
SAM7S161/16 8 32 64 bytes
25
6175JS–ATARM–28-Jul-11
SAM7S Series Summary
This security bit can only be enabled, through the Command “Set Security Bit” of the EFC User
Interface. Disabling the security bit can only be achieved by asserting the ERASE pin at 1, and
after a full flash erase is performed. When the security bit is deactivated, all accesses to the
flash are permitted.
It is important to note that the assertion of the ERASE pin should always be longer than 50 ms.
As the ERASE pin integrates a permanent pull-down, it can be left unconnected during normal
operation. However, it is safer to connect it directly to GND for the final application.
8.8.5 Non-volatile Brownout Detector Control
Two general purpose NVM (GPNVM) bits are used for controlling the brownout detector (BOD),
so that even after a power loss, the brownout detector operations remain in their state.
These two GPNVM bits can be cleared or set respectively through the commands “Clear Gen-
eral-purpose NVM Bit” and “Set General-purpose NVM Bit” of the EFC User Interface.
• GPNVM Bit 0 is used as a brownout detector enable bit. Setting the GPNVM Bit 0 enables
the BOD, clearing it disables the BOD. Asserting ERASE clears the GPNVM Bit 0 and thus
disables the brownout detector by default.
• The GPNVM Bit 1 is used as a brownout reset enable signal for the reset controller. Setting
the GPNVM Bit 1 enables the brownout reset when a brownout is detected, Clearing the
GPNVM Bit 1 disables the brownout reset. Asserting ERASE disables the brownout reset by
default.
8.8.6 Calibration Bits
Eight NVM bits are used to calibrate the brownout detector and the voltage regulator. These bits
are factory configured and cannot be changed by the user. The ERASE pin has no effect on the
calibration bits.
8.9 Fast Flash Programming Interface
The Fast Flash Programming Interface allows programming the device through either a serial
JTAG interface or through a multiplexed fully-handshaked parallel port. It allows gang-program-
ming with market-standard industrial programmers.
The FFPI supports read, page program, page erase, full erase, lock, unlock and protect
commands.
The Fast Flash Programming Interface is enabled and the Fast Programming Mode is entered
when the TST pin and the PA0 and PA1 pins are all tied high and PA2 is tied low.
8.10 SAM-BA Boot Assistant
The SAM-BA® Boot Recovery restores the SAM-BA Boot in the first two sectors of the on-chip
Flash memory. The SAM-BA Boot recovery is performed when the TST pin and the PA0, PA1
and PA2 pins are all tied high for 10 seconds. Then, a power cycle of the board is mandatory.
The SAM-BA Boot Assistant is a default Boot Program that provides an easy way to program in
situ the on-chip Flash memory.
The SAM-BA Boot Assistant supports serial communication through the DBGU or through the
USB Device Port. (The SAM7S32/16 have no USB Device Port.)
• Communication through the DBGU supports a wide range of crystals from 3 to 20 MHz via
software auto-detection.
26
6175JS–ATARM–28-Jul-11
SAM7S Series Summary
• Communication through the USB Device Port is limited to an 18.432 MHz crystal. (
The SAM-BA Boot provides an interface with SAM-BA Graphic User Interface (GUI).
9. System Controller
The System Controller manages all vital blocks of the microcontroller: interrupts, clocks, power,
time, debug and reset.
The System Controller peripherals are all mapped to the highest 4 Kbytes of address space,
between addresses 0xFFFF F000 and 0xFFFF FFFF.
Figure 9-1 on page 27 and Figure 9-2 on page 28 show the product specific System Controller
Block Diagrams.
Figure 8-1 on page 20 shows the mapping of the of the User Interface of the System Controller
peripherals. Note that the memory controller configuration user interface is also mapped within
this address space.

SAM7S Series Summary
9.1 Reset Controller
The Reset Controller is based on a power-on reset cell and one brownout detector. It gives the
status of the last reset, indicating whether it is a power-up reset, a software reset, a user reset, a
watchdog reset or a brownout reset. In addition, it controls the internal resets and the NRST pin
open-drain output. It allows to shape a signal on the NRST line, guaranteeing that the length of
the pulse meets any requirement.
Note that if NRST is used as a reset output signal for external devices during power-off, the
brownout detector must be activated.
9.1.1 Brownout Detector and Power-on Reset
The SAM7S Series embeds a brownout detection circuit and a power-on reset cell. Both are
supplied with and monitor VDDCORE. Both signals are provided to the Flash to prevent any
code corruption during power-up or power-down sequences or if brownouts occur on the
VDDCORE power supply.
The power-on reset cell has a limited-accuracy threshold at around 1.5V. Its output remains low
during power-up until VDDCORE goes over this voltage level. This signal goes to the reset con-
troller and allows a full re-initialization of the device.
The brownout detector monitors the VDDCORE level during operation by comparing it to a fixed
trigger level. It secures system operations in the most difficult environments and prevents code
corruption in case of brownout on the VDDCORE.
Only VDDCORE is monitored.
When the brownout detector is enabled and VDDCORE decreases to a value below the trigger
level (Vbot-, defined as Vbot - hyst/2), the brownout output is immediately activated.
When VDDCORE increases above the trigger level (Vbot+, defined as Vbot + hyst/2), the reset
is released. The brownout detector only detects a drop if the voltage on VDDCORE stays below
the threshold voltage for longer than about 1µs.
The threshold voltage has a hysteresis of about 50 mV, to ensure spike free brownout detection.
The typical value of the brownout detector threshold is 1.68V with an accuracy of ± 2% and is
factory calibrated.
The brownout detector is low-power, as it consumes less than 20 µA static current. However, it
can be deactivated to save its static current. In this case, it consumes less than 1µA. The deac-
tivation is configured through the GPNVM bit 0 of the Flash.

10. Peripherals
10.1 User Interface
The User Peripherals are mapped in the 256 MBytes of address space between 0xF000 0000
and 0xFFFF EFFF. Each peripheral is allocated 16 Kbytes of address space.
A complete memory map is provided in Figure 8-1 on page 20.
10.2 Peripheral Identifiers
The SAM7S Series embeds a wide range of peripherals. Table 10-1 defines the Peripheral Iden-
tifiers of the SAM7S512/256/128/64/321/161. Table 10-2 defines the Peripheral Identifiers of the
SAM7S32/16. A peripheral identifier is required for the control of the peripheral interrupt with the
Advanced Interrupt Controller and for the control of the peripheral clock with the Power Manage-
ment Controller.
Note: 1. Setting SYSC and ADC bits in the clock set/clear registers of the PMC has no effect. The Sys-
tem Controller is continuously clocked. The ADC clock is automatically started for the first
conversion. In Sleep Mode the ADC clock is automatically stopped after each conversion.

tem Controller is continuously clocked. The ADC clock is automatically started for the first
conversion. In Sleep Mode the ADC clock is automatically stopped after each conversion.
10.3 Peripheral Multiplexing on PIO Lines
The SAM7S Series features one PIO controller, PIOA, that multiplexes the I/O lines of the
peripheral set.
PIO Controller A controls 32 lines (21 lines for SAM7S32/16). Each line can be assigned to one
of two peripheral functions, A or B. Some of them can also be multiplexed with the analog inputs
of the ADC Controller.
Table 10-3, “Multiplexing on PIO Controller A (SAM7S512/256/128/64/321/161),” on page 36
and Table 10-4, “Multiplexing on PIO Controller A (SAM7S32/16),” on page 37 define how the
I/O lines of the peripherals A, B or the analog inputs are multiplexed on the PIO Controller A.
The two columns “Function” and “Comments” have been inserted for the user’s own comments;
they may be used to track how pins are defined in an application.
Note that some peripheral functions that are output only may be duplicated in the table.
All pins reset in their Parallel I/O lines function are configured as input with the programmable
pull-up enabled, so that the device is maintained in a static state as soon as a reset is detected.
