To make our product information the most accessible and useful to you, ATMEL provides most of the information in the following 4 formats:

Adobe Acrobat

Adobe Acrobat formatted files let you download product information in electronic form that looks at exactly as they appear in hardcopy. You can search the documents, print them, and cut and paste information into other applications. Clicking on the Acrobat icon next to each product name will automatically download them to your computer. To open the Acrobat files you will need to have already installed the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. The Adobe Acrobat Reader is available for UNIX, Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh computer systems.

Netscape 2.0 users -- It has been brought to our attention that Netscape 2.0 for Windows is not configured to automatically download Acrobat files and launch the Adobe Acrobat Reader. Please check your Helper Applications configuration to make sure your copy of Netscape will launch the Acrobat Reader.

Adobe Postscript

Adobe Postscript formatted files are available to be downloaded and sent to any Postscript printer. These files are formatted to print on standard 8-1/2" x 11" paper. Many word processing and document systems can import the Postscript formatted images for inclusion in documents and specification sheets. To save space and transmission time, these files have been compressed using the zip compress program. On Microsoft Windows you can use the Winzip or PKzip utilities. On Apple Macintosh Stuffit Lite will decompress them. On Unix, InfoZip will incompress them.

GIF Images

If you are not sure about which document you need and do not want to take the time to download the Acrobat or Postscript files, you can click on this button next to each document and pull up an images of the first page of each datasheet to get a quick glimpse of more information.

Microsoft PowerPoint

A number of product presentations are available in Microsoft PowerPoint format. If you already have a copy of PowerPoint on your system you are all set. If not, you can download a copy of the free PowerPoint Viewer. It is available for Windows and Macintosh systems.
