3. STR730F MCU Series Technical Overview ATMEL AT91SAM7S128 and AT91SAM7S256 features at a glance 128K and 256K 64 pins QFP Peripheral DMA controller High Speed communication channels 5V tolerant I/Os Fast startup time from cold reset Low power consumption

4. STR730F MCU Series Technical Overview What to Propose STR7 in 64 pin package, 128KB and 256KB STR711, STR712, STR751, STR752, STR755 Need RAM (more than 16K) ? Propose STR71x 16K RAM is enough ? Propose STR75x See the cross ref for details

5. STR730F MCU Series Technical Overview ST STRONG selling points ST STR71x / STR75xATMEL SAM7S128 / 256 Better low power In Low power mode, we are better with our STOP and Standby modes: -STOP: 15µA -Standby: 10µA Extensive documentation of power mode and MAX values Really FAST transition with STR750: 55µs from STOP/Standby to Flash execution. Low power consumption -38 uA typ in Ultra low power The power is poorly documented, no MAX value 1ms to 14ms depending on quartz Temp. / voltage range STR750 has -40 / +105°C options and can work at 3.3V OR 5V NO 5V, NO 105°c Better Flash endurance 20 Year Guaranteed at 85°c10 year only, no temp specified

6. STR730F MCU Series Technical Overview ST selling points ST STR71x / STR75xATMEL SAM7S128 / 256 Smaller Packages and more options - 8x8 64 pin BGA - 10x10 144 pin BGA We offer 64, 100 and 144 pin options NO BGA 64 pin only Easier to start development 4 “Starter Kits” (hard+soft) and wide tool support. NO “starter kit” offer. Need to buy board and software separately Portfolio Higher footprint covered by STR9 512K, 1MB, 2MB) CAN Feature (no similar offer from ATMEL) 48pin, 32K and Higher memory (512K, 1024) PriceWith new price optimization ST is better than ATMEL between 64K and 256K Flash ARM7 solution.

7. STR730F MCU Series Technical Overview How to counter ATMEL selling points ATMELST Answer Board design: Only 20 external components to be added around micro. We have less: -STR71x: 6 mandatory, 11 max -STR75x: 9 Mandatory, 20 max Innovative Peripheral DMA controller Our DMA in STR750 are more powerfull with burst transfers and circular buffer management. We have less channels but we have enough for the peripherals that need DMA (SPI, ADC, Timers) High Speed communication channels Higher speed SPI 25Mb/s Higher speed UART 25Mb/s This is overkill: 25Mb/s UART. We have what the customer will really use. SPI 8MB/s (71x) 16MB/s (75x) Uart 1MB/s (71x) 2MB/s (75x) Integrated Power-on reset One additional reset component needed (15cts) BUT more reliable (Actual Atmel bug is related to the reset circuit) and more flexible. 5V tolerant IOsSTR750 can operate at 5V (5V capable)
