No matter which device a customer selects, all products are backed by Microchip\u2019s customer-driven obsolescence policy which ensures availability to customers for as long as needed.<\/p>\n<p>The ARM Cortex-A5-based SAMA5D2 SiP, mounted on the SOM PCB or available separately, integrates 1 Gb DDR2 memory, further simplifying the design by removing the high-speed memory interface constraints from the PCB.<\/p>\n<p>The impedance matching is done in the package, not manually during development, so the system will function properly at normal and low-speed operation. Three DDR2 memory sizes (128 Mb, 512 Mb and 1 Gb) are available for the SAMA5D2 SIP and optimised for bare metal, Real-time Operating System (RTOS) and Linux implementations.<\/p>\n<span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/protect-ip-and-deploy-secured-connected-systems-with-microchips-cryptoauthentication-device\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microchip<\/a><\/span> customers developing Linux-based applications have access to the largest set of device drivers, middleware and application layers for the embedded market at no charge.<\/p>\n<p>All of Microchip\u2019s Linux development code for the SiP and SOM are mainlined in the Linux communities. This results in solutions where customers can connect external devices, for which drivers are mainlined, to the SOM and SIP with minimal software development.<\/p>\n<p>The SAMA5D2 family features the highest levels of security in the industry, including PCI compliance, providing an excellent platform for customers to create secured designs.<\/p>\n<p>With integrated ARM TrustZone and capabilities for tamper detection, secure data and program storage, hardware encryption engine, secure boot and more, customers can work with Microchip\u2019s security experts to evaluate their security needs and implement the level of protection that\u2019s right for their design.<\/p>\n<p>The SAMA5D2 SOM also contains <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/single-wire-serial-eeprom-from-microchip-enables-remote-identification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microchip<\/a><\/span>\u2019s QSPI NOR Flash memory, a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC), an Ethernet PHY and serial EEPROM memory with a Media Access Control (MAC) address to expand design options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSOMs shorten time to market by significantly reducing development time, software coding and debugging, allowing designers to concentrate on their application features,\u201d said Alfredo Vadillo, vice president of Microchip\u2019s MPU32 business unit. \u201cWith this new SOM, customers can get to market faster with the latest technology from Microchip integrated into a single module. They are also getting a proven partner with global support and a long-term supply commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a great deal of design effort and complexity associated with creating an industrial-grade microprocessor (MPU)-based system running a Linux operating system.
