==Products== ===Microcontrollers=== [[Image:ATMEL-AT90S2333.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Atmel AT90S2333 microcontroller]] [[Image:Atmel atmega32 mikrokontrolleri.jpg|thumb|right|upright |Atmel ATMEGA32 microcontroller]] A large part of Atmel's revenue is from microcontrollers. These include the [[Atmel AVR|AVR]] 8- and 32-bit microcontrollers, [[ARM architecture]] microprocessors, and ARM-based flash microcontrollers. In addition Atmel still makes microcontrollers that use the [[Intel MCS-51|8051]] architecture, albeit improved to do single-cycle instructions. Supporting the microcontrollers is the Atmel Studio 7 [[integrated development environment]] which Atmel offers for free. They also provide an Atmel Software Framework.<ref> {{cite web |title= Atmel AVR Software Framework lets you stand on the shoulders of software giants |url=http://www.electronicproducts.com/Software/Development_Tools_and_Software/Atmel_AVR_Software_Framework_lets_you_stand_on_the_shoulders_of_software_giants.aspx |work= Electronic Products |publisher= Hearst |author= Haakon Skar (Atmel) |date= November 1, 2011 |access-date= October 3, 2013 }} </ref> ===Wireless / RF=== To provide for the [[Internet of Things]] (IoT), Atmel offers dual-band 2.4 GHz/5 GHz a/b/g Wi-Fi chips from its Ozmo acquisition.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-15 |date=2014-03-01 |title=Atmel Announces SmartConnect WiFi Modules |publisher=hackaday.coom |url=https://hackaday.com/2014/03/01/atmel-announces-smartconnect-wifi-modules/}}</ref> Also, Atmel offers 2.4 GHz b/g/n Wi-Fi chips WILC1000/WILC3000 and WINC1500 from its Newport Media, Inc acquisition. WINC1500 provide a full 802.11 b/g/n network controller with full ip stack TCP/IP, UDP with upper layer protocols as DHCP, DNS, HTTP, SNTP, TLS etc. Also, Atmel makes wireless transceivers using regional 700/800/900 MHz, as well as global 2.4 GHz frequency bands, Some chips are standalone transceivers while others are integrated with a microcontroller. They also sell the Zigbit module that comes with FCC certifications. Atmel also makes remote control RF products using the license-free [[ISM band]] (industrial scientific medical) frequencies (5.8 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 868 to 928 MHz, 433 MHz, and 315 MHz).<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-15 |date=2012-11-13 |title=Atmel Delivers Industry's Lowest Power Wireless MCU for 2.4GHz ISM Band Applications |publisher=electronicspecifier.com |url=https://www.electronicspecifier.com/industries/wireless/atmegarfr2-avr-atmel-delivers-industrys-lowest-power-wireless-mcu-for-24ghz-ism-band-applications}}</ref> The wireless segment also provides [[RFID]] chips for tracking, access and identification. Finally, Atmel offers a line of IR controllers that can support infrared as well as RF wireless.{{Citation needed|date=July 2014}} ===Touchscreen=== [[File:Atmel-XSense touchsensor-film.jpg|thumb|Atmel XSense is a flexible touchscreen film that uses a copper mesh instead of indium tin oxide (ITO).]] Atmel makes both touchscreen controller ICs and its XSense flexible touchscreen.<ref name="XSense" /> The company makes sensor hubs that manage accelerometers, gyroscopes, [[inertial measurement unit]]s and magnetometers.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-16 |date=2013-10-30 |title=Atmel Sensor Hub Solution Drives Lower Power for the KMX61G Micro-Amp Magnetic Gyro |publisher=magneticsmag.com |url=https://magneticsmag.com/atmel-sensor-hub-solution-drives-lower-power-for-the-kmx61g-micro-amp-magnetic-gyro/}}</ref> These sensors give consumer products and embedded systems [[context awareness]]. The sensor hub offloads the main application processor and allows product functionality without the need to power the main processor. Atmel also makes simple touch controller chips for buttons, sliders, and wheels used on industrial and consumer products.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-16 |date= |title=Atmel Releases New 6-channel Touch Controller with Integral LED Driver |publisher=futurlec.com |url=https://www.futurlec.com/News/Atmel/Touch_Controller.shtml}}</ref> To support the application of its touch controller chips, Atmel provides a free QTouch library of software routines.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-16 |date=2010-09-08 |title=Atmel QTouch Studio 4.3 Software Tool Eases Touch Designs |publisher=prnewswire.com |url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/atmel-qtouch-studio-43-software-tool-eases-touch-designs-102424664.html}}</ref> ===Memory=== Atmel's original business was in memory, and it still sells several memory products. It offers serial<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-16 |date=2015-08-05 |title=Product Roundup β Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory |publisher=arrow.com |url=https://www.arrow.com/en/research-and-events/articles/product-roundup--electrically-erasable-programmable-read--only-memory}}</ref> and parallel EEPROM, as well as one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM. In addition, it offers secure memory with its CryptoMemory product line of EEPROMS in capacities from 1 to 256 kbits.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-16 |date=2007-10-18 |title=Atmel CryptoMemory prevents cloning and counterfeiting |publisher=eetimes.com |url=https://www.eetimes.com/atmel-cryptomemory-prevents-cloning-and-counterfeiting/}}</ref> ===Security=== In addition to the secure memory mentioned above, they have the CryptoAuthentication product lines that provide hardware authentication capability with both symmetric and [[asymmetric-key algorithm]] authentication. These ICs are used in many applications, including secure access, communications, control, and to prevent cloned products like batteries or ink cartridges not approved by the product manufacturer. Atmel's CryptoRF products add hardware encrypted security to RFID applications. Finally Atmel offers a trusted platform module that gives strong hardware-based public key ([[RSA algorithm]]) security for both personal computers and embedded processors on a single chip.{{Citation needed|date=July 2014}} ===Analog=== Atmel makes [[Light-emitting diode|LED]] driver chips.<ref>{{cite web|access-date=2024-05-16 |date=2011-06-29 |title=Atmel Launches Power-Efficient Multi-String LED Drivers |publisher=led-professional.com |url=https://www.led-professional.com/products/led-driver-ics-modules/atmel-launches-power-efficient-multi-string-led-drivers}}</ref> It also has a line of digital-output temperature sensors. The company also makes power management and analog companions (PMAAC) that combine a group of discrete ICs often used in handheld or battery-powered products. Integrated functions include audio [[codecs]] (compressor-decompressor), [[lithium-ion]] battery chargers, and stereo [[digital-to-analog converter]]s.{{Citation needed|date=July 2014}} ===Custom=== These products include custom integrated circuits designed to meet specialized single-customer requirements.
