256K of flash? They must have to try to get chips that small. Is it an addressing problem?

  They are talking about the flash memory built into the microcontroller itself, not about external flash storage. Generally this stores the device's firmware. 256K is a completely reasonable size for this class of microcontroller.

    So it's, what, 180nm?

      No idea. Can't recall ever hearing anyone discuss the fab processes used for microcontrollers; people only really care about that in the high end PC world. edit: here's Atmel's page with the mcu specs, if you're curious: http://www.atmel.com/devices/ATSAMD21G18A.aspx http://www.atmel.com/devices/ATSAMD21G18A.aspx
