This professional forum focuses on microcontroller technologies, bringing together leading international MCU brands each year to share their latest technological milestones. ARTERY was honored to be invited to present the high performance, superior quality, and strong reputation of AT32 MCUs, demonstrating the exceptional capabilities of its products.
ARTERY Showcases “Core” Technology and Future Vision at 2022 D Forum Microcontroller Conference
2022-11-11
Mr. Hank Du, Director of Product and Marketing at ARTERY, delivered a keynote on AT32 MCU product planning. Thanks to continuous innovation and improvement by the ARTERY team, AT32 MCUs have steadily gained market share, receiving widespread praise for their quality and stability. In the third installment of the AI trilogy, “The New Era of Smart Terminals and MCUs,” Mr. Du’s presentation, titled “AT32 MCUs Empower Smart Technology, Building a ‘Core’ Future Together,” focused on ARTERY's five key product lines: Low-Power, Value-Line, Mainstream, High-Performance, and Wireless Series. All feature 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M4/M0+ cores, offering diverse features and advantages to support smart terminal technologies.
For example, the Value-Line AT32F423 series features a USB OTG interface, 5.33 Msps high-speed ADC, and two 12-bit DACs. It delivers competitive pricing and is ideal for applications in home electronics, industrial control, and IoT. Samples will be available starting January 2023.
The Mainstream AT32F403A/F407 series, with 240MHz high-performance cores, offers 256–1024KB Flash and 96–224KB SRAM, configurable based on user needs. It’s widely used in household appliances, consumer electronics, and electric vehicle controllers, making it one of the most frequently inquired models in the AT32 MCU series.
Another standout is the AT32F435/F437 series, known for the industry’s highest 288MHz clock speed and 512KB SRAM. It features a wealth of high-speed digital and analog peripherals, including three 5.33Msps ADCs, two QSPIs, two CAN interfaces, two OTGs, and DVP interfaces. Upon release, it quickly gained attention in the market. The AT32F437 also integrates an IEEE-802.3 10/100Mbps Ethernet controller interface, significantly enhancing data transfer and CPU processing efficiency, making it well-suited for IoT gateways, industrial control, and 5G markets.
During his speech, Mr. Du highlighted another key AT32 MCU application: motor control. Using the AT32F421/F4212 (with 2 OP amps) and AT32F413 (with 2 ADCs) series as examples, he explained how these MCUs support single, dual, and triple resistor current sensing for sensor-based and sensorless FOC (Field-Oriented Control) for position, torque, and speed control. He introduced ARTERY’s motor control libraries and PC-based motor application software, which provide a visual GUI for quick motor parameter setup, control adjustments, and real-time monitoring.
At the forum, ARTERY showcased a range of end-use applications, including a dynamic demonstration of the AT-SURF-F437 platform and low-voltage motor drive systems, drawing significant attention from industry professionals. These demonstrations highlighted the performance advantages of AT32 MCUs. Through professional insights from ARTERY’s engineers and technical sales team, attendees gained a deeper understanding of AT32 MCUs, while ARTERY also helped customers address development challenges, fostering opportunities for future collaborations.
