6.1 Host Processor

The Microchip SAM D ARM Cortex-M0+ based microcontroller (MCU) series builds on decades of innovation and experience in embedded Flash microcontroller technology. It not only sets a new benchmark for flexibility and ease-of-use but also combines the performance and energy efficiency of an ARM Cortex-M0+ based MCU with an optimized architecture and peripheral set. The Microchip SAM D gives you a truly differentiated general-purpose microcontroller that is ideal for many low-power, cost-sensitive industrial and consumer applications.
