SAM3N Summary
The SAM3N4/2/1 product embeds one peripheral bridge:
The peripherals of the bridge are clocked by MCK.
The Bus Matrix of the SAM3N product manages 3 masters, which means that each master can
perform an access concurrently with others, to an available slave.
Each master has its own decoder, which is defined specifically for each master. In order to sim-
plify the addressing, all the masters have the same decodings.
Table 7-1.
The Bus Matrix of the SAM3N product manages 4 slaves. Each slave has its own arbiter, allow-
ing a different arbitration per slave.
