Atmel SmartConnect SAM W25IoT Endpoint Module

2

Connecting to the Internet of Things Made EasyThe self-contained and certified Atmel® SmartConnect SAM W25 module, part of the Atmel® | SMART portfolio, brings wireless Internet connectivity to any embedded design. This integrated low-power module offers the ideal solution for designers with no previous 802.11, IP Stack or RF experience seeking to add Wi-Fi connectivity to their products. It provides connectivity to the Internet of Things (IoT) for the vast array of battery-powered devices and applications requiring the integration of wireless-local-network (WLAN) connectivity without compromising on cost and power consumption.

The Atmel SmartConnect SAM W25 module is based on the industry-leading WINC1500 Wi-Fi system-on-chip (SoC) and the latest ARM® Cortex®-M0+ processor technology. This turnkey system provides an integrated software solution with application and security protocols such as transport-layer security (TLS).

• Easy-to-use development kits are available for quick prototyping extensive library of project examples and applications are available via Atmel Studio IDE.

• Out of the box cloud connectivity with cloud agent software from any of the Atmel cloud partners.

• RF Certified modules accelerate time to market by saving certification cost and significant lab approval resources.

Key Benefits

• Complete self-contained End Point Certified module including Atmel Cortex-M0+ based host MCU; One Stop Shop for MCU, Wi-Fi, Crypto and Module, reduces support time and increases efficiency

• Based on Atmel Low Power Wi-Fi SoC, WINC1500B Series; provides years of operation for Internet of Things (IoT) applications Integrated with network stack protocol

• Integrated with Atmel CryptoAuthentication™ device supporting ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) key agreement; Adds security to prevent physical attacks on the device or logical attacks on data transmitted be-tween the device and the system, critical to every connected Internet of Things (IoT) node

• Cortex-M0+ based host MCU is more power efficient and integrated with a rich set of peripherals including USB and Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC); Powerful MCU with rich set of peripherals means it’s flexible to operate as a host MCU in most IoT applications

• 8-bit internal SPI Flash memory with OTA firmware upgrade; Saves BOM cost for external Flash
