The SAMA7D65 MPUs based on the Arm® Cortex®-A7 core running up to 1 GHz and offered in a System-in-Package (SiP) with a 2 Gb DDR3L and System-on-Chip (SoC). With its sophisticated graphic features, the SAMA7D65 MPU series is intended for Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and networking applications.
With its advanced graphic features, the SAMA7D65 MPU series is intended for Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and networking applications.
The SAMA7D65 MPUs have 2D GPU, LVDS, and MIPI DSI® interfaces as graphic features. It is the best option for HMI applications in the transportation, medical, and industrial sectors because of its high-performance features, which allow more data to be processed and transmitted for effective graphic performance.
The SAMA7D65 MPUs have twin Gigabit Ethernet with Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) capability, which allows for exact synchronization and low-latency communication—two essentials for real-time systems—as well as sophisticated audio and connectivity functions. These features are aimed at HMI applications for building and industrial automation, where deterministic networking and smooth data flow are crucial for dependable and responsive user interfaces.
The SAMA7D65D2G SiP’s low-voltage architecture lowers power consumption and improves energy efficiency, while its 2 Gb DDR3L memory allows for high-speed synchronous dynamic random-access operations. By presolving high-speed memory interface design problems and streamlining the memory supply, SiPs are intended to speed up the design process and time to market.
Targeting applications involving interactive touchscreen displays, the SAMA7D65 series enhances Microchip’s current SAMA7G54 1 GHz Arm Cortex-A7 based MPU. Microchip graphical Suite, a framework for creating complex Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) and other graphical applications within MPLAB® Harmony v3 and Linux® software platforms, is available to embedded developers utilizing Microchip’s MPUs.
Challenge for Embedded Developers
The challenge for embedded developers is to build systems that blend high performance, energy efficiency, and compactness. Offering a variety of solutions, from SoCs to SiPs and SOMs, streamlines and expedites development schedules as applications become more complex and require more sophisticated graphics and connectivity.
Designers can simplify complex designs and increase reusability across projects with this all-inclusive solution for creating GUI interfaces and other graphics applications.
Microchip’s portfolio of 32- and 64-bit Arm- and RISC-V-based MPUs offers powerful, flexible solutions for applications ranging from consumer products to space missions.
In addition to its single- and multi-core SOM and SiP MPUs, Microchip offers other essential components for these applications, including connectivity, security, power management, timing and memory.
Development Tools
The SAMA7D65 MPUs are supported by Microchip Graphics Suite (MGS), as well as other third party graphics tools. For customers developing RTOS or bare-metal systems, these MPUs are supported in MPLAB Harmony v3. Linux support is provided in Microchip’s mainline Linux distribution. Additionally, to evaluate the SAMA7D65 series, the SAMA7D65 Curiosity Development Board is available.
