Arduino Due – Embedded System With Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 MCU

Arduino Due - microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPUThe Arduino Due is the first Arduino board based on a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller. With 54 digital input/output pins, 12 analog inputs,  2 CAN ports, and 3 serial ports (UART), it is the perfect board for powerful larger scale Arduino projects.

The Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU. It is the first Arduino board based on a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 12 can be used as PWM outputs), 12 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 84 MHz clock, an USB OTG capable connection, 2 DAC (digital to analog), 2 TWI, a power jack, an SPI header, a JTAG header, a reset button and an erase button.

The Due has a 32-bit ARM core that can outperform typical 8-bit microcontroller boards. The most significant characteristics are:

  • A 32-bit core, that allows operations on 4 bytes wide data within a single CPU clock.
  • CPU Clock at 84Mhz.
  • 96 KBytes of SRAM.
  • 512 KBytes of Flash memory for code.
  • A DMA controller that can relieve the CPU from doing memory intensive tasks.

Continuing the legacy:

According to the official Arduino website, "this product is currently retired."
