Atmel announced the ATmega1284P which can satisfy new applications with need for more than the previously available 64k Flash and 4k SRAM. The new device can reduce design footprint with double flash size and 4x SRAM size compared to existing picoPower megaAVR microcontrollers.

Atmel is targeting size-constrained, low-power, low performance applications. The small 44-pin package makes the ATmega1284P ideal for applications such as wireless and ethernet nodes, home automation and other code-intensive battery or signal-line powered products, combined with its ultra-low-power consumption, 128 KB of flash and 16 KB of random access memory (RAM).
