== Feather M0 Express in details ==
+
The Feather M0 use the ATSAMD21G18 ARM Cortex M0+ processor with 3.3V logic and 48 MHz. This chip embed 256K of FLASH (8x more than the Atmega328/Uno) and has 32K RAM (16x more than UNO)!
+
+
This ATSAMD21G18 has USB built-in which offers USB-to-Serial and debug feature (so no need for FTDI-like chip).
+

* 3.3V logic/power
+
* 256KB of FLASH
+
* 32KB of RAM
+
* No EEPROM
+
* RTC & Clock based on 32.768 KHz crystal
+
* 3.3V regulator (500mA peak current)
+
* USB native support (has USB bootloader)
+
* 20 GPIO pins (PWM on all pins)
+
* Hardware Serial + Hardware I2C + Hardware SPI support
+
* 6 x 12-bit analog inputs
+
1 x 10-bit analog ouput (DAC)
