A high-performance system-on-chip (SoC) series with multiprotocol support it builds on the legacy of Atmosic’s ATM3 and ATM33/e SoCs which support Bluetooth LE. The ATM34/e series now adds support for IEEE 802.15.4 based protocols including Thread and Matter, as well as enhanced Bluetooth LE support for the latest 5.4 standard revision.
The ATM34/e series has been designed for ultra-low power end IoT devices such as sensors and witches and typically uses 50% less active energy than competitor solutions. The SoCs incorporate Atmosic’s best-in-class radio, consuming less than 1mA in receive mode, and an energy-efficient transmitter with a programmable output power range of -20dBm to +10dBm.
These power-saving innovations significantly extend battery life in connected devices and can even enable some devices to operate battery-free.
“Interoperability in the smart home is critical, creating a growing demand for connected devices that support standards-based wireless protocols. Thread and Matter enable smart home and mobile platforms to seamlessly communicate with each other regardless of the device manufacturer,” said David Su, CEO of Atmosic. “Atmosic’s multiprotocol ATM34/e is designed to maximise a device’s performance while minimising energy consumption. This allows product manufacturers to bring sustainable products to market at a lower cost and meet the industry’s latest connectivity requirements.”
With a new scalable memory architecture, the ATM34/e series allows developers to use a memory footprint that meets the needs of their protocol, application, and cost targets. The ATM34/e series integrates a 64MHz Arm Cortex M33F processor to optimize power and performance, while also supporting Arm’s TrustZone technology for robust security.
The new ATM34/e series enables devices to efficiently capture, use, and store energy from RF, heat, light, and motion sources. The series also has a wide harvesting input range and supports a wide range of storage devices which enables smart sensors and other low power automation applications to operate unattended for years.
The ATM34/e series is currently available in two packages: a 5×5 40-pin QFN and a 7×7 56-pin QFN. Both are pin-to-pin compatible with Atmosic’s ATM33/e series Bluetooth SoCs for customers looking to add 802.15.4 support without redesigning their product.
Product samples for the ATM34/e will be available starting in Q1 2024.
