Kit Overview

The SAM R30 device is an ARM-based, ultra low-power microcontroller (MCU) equipped with an IEEE
802.15.4-2003/2006/2011 standard that is compliant with RF interfaces for the sub-1GHz frequency
bands, such as 780 MHz (China), 868 MHz (Europe), and 915 MHz (North America). It uses the 32-bit
®
ARM Cortex
offers 256KB of Flash and 40KB of SRAM in both 32-pin and 48-pin packages.
The SAM R30 device supports the following power managaement techniques to reduce current
consumption:
• Power Gating
• SleepWalking
