Line 3:
The AT91SAM comes in [[ARM7TDMI|ARM7]], [[ARM9E|ARM9]] and [[ARM Cortex|Cortex M3]] versions.
External interfaces include [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]], [[controller-area network|CAN]], [[Ethernet]], [[Serial Peripheral Interface Bus|SPI]], [[USART]] and [[analog-to-digital converter|ADC]]. A [[direct memory access|DMA]] controller provides direct communication channels between external interfaces and memories, increasing [[data]] throughput with minimal [[central processing unit|processor]] intervention.
Peripherals include counter/timers, [[power-on reset]] generators, [[voltage regulator]]s and advanced [[interrupt controller]]. This enhances the [[real-time computing|real-time]] performance of the processor. A [[power management]] controller keeps power consumption to a minimum by powering down unused peripherals and interfaces, and enabling the processor to be put in standby mode.
