The SAMA5D3 series is a high-performance, ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-A5 processor-based MPU. The Cortex-A5 runs up to 536MHz and features a 128KB L2 cache and a floating-point unit. It supports multiple memories, including DDR2 and LPDDR2. It integrates powerful peripherals for connectivity: Gigabit EMAC and/or 10/100 EMAC, 3 HS USB ports, up to 2 CAN ports, up to 3 SDIO/SD/MMC, up to 7 UARTs; and for user interface applications: TFT LCD controller, touch controller, and a CMOS sensor (camera) interface. These devices offer application security functions to protect against hacking such as a hardware encryption engine supporting AES, 3DES, as well as secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) and True Random Number Generator (TRNG) and a secure boot loader. These devices come with a free main-lined Linux distribution.
Additional Features
Low System Cost and High Value Integration: - Gigabit EMAC and 10/100 EMAC - 0.8mm ball pitch package reduces PCB design complexity - Simple power management scheme - 4-layer PCB
Ultra-Low Power Consumption: - Ultra-low-power architecture for extensive battery life - <200uA retention mode with fast wake-up - 5uA in backup mode
Application Security: - Hardware encryption engine - Secure boot
Extensive Ecosystem: - Free Linux® and Qt SDK - Complete set of C examples for non-OS users - Low-Cost Development board - Multiple third-party software and hardware partners
