Atmel&

on (N
asdaq: ATML) announced today the release of a complete
USB solution for embedded systems consisting of the
AT90USBKey demonstration board – available for only $30 and a new royalty-free USB software suite supporting
Dual Role Device (DRD), USB Host or Function. This platform allows fast and easy development with the AT90USB AVR® microcontroller family.
Reduce complexity and cost. The USB’s
bus is replacing the UART in an increasing number of embedded systems. Existing development tools are often based on 32-bit processors or embedded
PCs, which require large system memories and an o
perating system (OS). By offering a complete development platform based on the market-leading AVR 8-bit RISC architecture, Atmel offers a standalone platform that does not require an OS to facilitate the quick development of new applications with USB. Atmel’s $30 platform is
10 to 1000 times less expensive than other solutions.
A low-cost and
powerful kit. The AT90USBKey connects to a PC without the need of an external power supply for USB device developments. It
can also be powered by an external battery for host/OTG developments. The on-board AT90USB1287 AVR Microcontroller features 128 Kbytes of
Flash code memory that can be reprogrammed in-system and
