Atmosic Technologies has introduced its ATM34/e high-performance system-on-chip (SoC) series with multiprotocol support. Building on its ATM3 and ATM33/e SoCs with Bluetooth LE support, the ATM34/e series adds IEEE 802.15.4-based protocols including Thread and Matter, as well as enhanced Bluetooth LE for the latest 5.4 standard revision.
“Interoperability in the smart home is critical, creating a growing demand for connected devices that support standards-based wireless protocols,” said David Su, Atmosic’s CEO, in a statement. “Thread and Matter enable smart home and mobile platforms to seamlessly communicate with each other regardless of the device manufacturer.”

Targeting ultra-low-power end IoT devices such as sensors and switches, the ATM34/e series typically uses 50% less active energy than competitor solutions, according to Atmosic. The SoCs incorporate the company’s radio that consumes less than 1 mA in receive mode and an energy-efficient transmitter with an output power range from -20 dBm to +10 dBm. These power-saving features extend battery life in connected devices and can enable some devices to operate battery-free.
Building energy-harvesting capabilities into the wireless SoC, the ATM34/e series enables devices to capture, use and store energy from RF, heat, light and motion sources. It offers a wide energy harvesting input range and supports a range of storage devices, which enables smart sensors and other low power automation applications to operate unattended for years, the company said.
The ATM34/e series also offers a new scalable memory architecture, which allows designers to select a memory footprint that meets their protocol, application and cost requirements. Key features include a 64-MHz Arm Cortex M33F processor to optimize power and performance and support for Arm’s TrustZone technology for security.
The ATM34/e series is currently available in two packages: a 5×5 40-pin QFN and a 7×7 56-pin QFN. Both packages are pin-to-pin compatible with Atmosic’s ATM33/e series Bluetooth SoCs for easy upgrading. Product samples will be available starting in the second quarter of 2024.
