Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ATSAM3S1BB-AUR is a direct functional equivalent to the ATSAM3S1BA-AUR. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the ATSAM3S1BA-AUR is classified as obsolete, while the ATSAM3S1BB-AUR maintains active production status. Both devices are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications. The ATSAM3S1BB-AUR is available in standard packaging formats (Cut Tape and Digi-Reel), supporting production continuity. Selection of the ATSAM3S1BB-AUR eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full design compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the ATSAM3S1BA-AUR and ATSAM3S1BB-AUR pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both devices use the 64-LQFP (10x10) package with identical pin assignments, I/O configuration (47 pins), and functional connectivity. PCB layout and schematic designs require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The ATSAM3S1BB-AUR is the active production equivalent of the obsolete ATSAM3S1BA-AUR. All electrical specifications, memory configuration, operating parameters, and peripheral sets are identical. The suffix change reflects product lifecycle management by Microchip Technology.
