Atmel Smart Connect
One of the primary challenges in the Internet of Things (IoT) market is system integration — connecting one or more devices to gateways and the cloud. The Atmel Smart Connect Bluetooth solution is an easy-to-use, low-power Bluetooth connectivity solution that supports IoT and seamlessly integrates with the embedded BLE4.1 stack and IPv6 connectivity stack, enabling IoT designers at all levels to connect their devices to gateways and the cloud, addressing these integration issues.
SMART SAMB11 is part of the Atmel Smart Connect wireless solution series. It is a power-efficient Bluetooth® SMART (BLE 4.1) system on chip (SoC) that integrates a microcontroller (MCU), transceiver, modem, MAC, PA, TR switch, and power management unit (PMU). This standalone application processor features 256 KB of flash memory and embedded BLE connectivity capabilities. The complete Bluetooth Smart protocol stack is embedded in dedicated ROM, including L2CAP service layer protocol, security manager, attribute protocol (ATT), generic attribute profile (GATT), and generic access profile (GAP). Additionally, it supports many other application profiles such as proximity, thermometer, heart rate, and blood pressure, which are included in the protocol stack.
The SAMB11 provides an affordable solution for many Bluetooth Smart based applications, integrating Bluetooth low energy broadcasting and baseband with an ARM® Cortex® M0 based microcontroller. Minimal external component requirements reduce the system solution cost to a minimum, utilizing innovative broadcasting and DSP architecture to achieve ultra-low power consumption and high performance.
The SAMB11 – ARM Cortex-M0 MCU is equipped with 128 KB RAM and 256 KB stack flash memory, with a complete embedded BLE4.1 protocol stack integrated into ROM.
