SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct 15, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- ATML | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a leader in microcontroller-based solutions, today announced that its AVR(R) XMEGA(TM) and AVR32 product families have been selected for iBiquity(R) Digital's HD Radio(TM) reference design platforms. Many leading consumer audio manufacturers use iBiquity reference designs to help bring their new innovative products, services and equipment to market, and to enable a seamless transition to digital HD Radio Technology. Both the AVR XMEGA and AVR32 processor families are used in a number of HD Radio designs for user interface and control functions. Atmel's AVR32 32-bit microcontrollers provide increased processing power for a number of varied HD Radio designs including MP3 decoding, USB connectivity, and iPOD(R) docking applications that are now being shipped throughout the world.

"Atmel's 8- and 32-bit solutions provide an excellent balance of performance, features and cost for the HD Radio market," said Jeff Jury, Chief Operating Officer at iBiquity. "Additionally, Atmel's software tools and support allow iBiquity and our end-customers the ability to develop new products very quickly, while addressing increased market requirements in real-time."

The AVR XMEGA is an 8-/16-bit, high performance microcontroller family with very low active and standby current consumption. This family includes 12-bit A/Ds and D/As, various peripheral interfaces (USARTS, SPI, TWI), and an internal DMA (direct memory access) making it an outstanding choice for many consumer applications. The AVR32 is available with both full- and high-speed USB OTG (On-the-Go) and Ethernet interfaces. Additionally, Atmel offers its free QTouch(R) software library, which runs on the AVR XMEGA and AVR32 product family, to allow system designers to implement capacitive touch buttons to their existing application without any additional cost.
