Microchip Technology (Asia General Manager and Korea Representative Byung-Don Han) helps design applications such as complex human-machine interfaces (HMIs) with high-performance MPUs equipped with high-performance graphics and connectivity capabilities.

Microchip has launched the high-performance MPU 'SAMA7D65' series based on the Arm® Cortex®-A7 core operating at up to 1GHz.

The new products are available in System-in-Package (SiP) and System-on-Chip (SoC) forms, helping to enable designs optimized for Human Machine Interface (HMI) and connectivity applications.

The SAMA7D65 MPU is equipped with high-performance graphics capabilities including a MIPI DSI® interface, LVDS display interface, and 2D GPU, making it suitable for designing complex HMI applications.

This allows for more efficient implementation of HMI applications in the industrial, medical, and transportation fields.

Additionally, the SAMA7D65 MPU features advanced audio and connectivity features, and dual Gigabit Ethernet with support for Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), enabling precise synchronization and low-latency communications even in real-time systems.

These characteristics enable seamless data exchange and deterministic It is very useful for providing networking.

The SAMA7D65D2G, available in SiP form, features 2Gb DDR3L memory to support high-speed synchronous dynamic random access operations (SDRAM operations).

This product reduces power consumption and improves energy efficiency through a low-voltage design.

SiP addresses challenges that can arise in high-speed memory interface design, helping to shorten the design process and time to market by simplifying memory provisioning.

“The SAMA7D65 series raises the bar for HMI applications by combining high-performance graphics, low latency, superior connectivity elements with optimized power consumption to support energy-efficient designs,” said Rod Drake, vice president of Microchip’s high-performance MCU and MPU business unit.

He also emphasized that “the SiP model ‘SAMA7D65D2G’ simplifies the R&D process and minimizes logistics issues related to parts supply, helping customers proceed with the process from design to product production more smoothly and efficiently.”

The SAMA7D65 series targets applications with interactive touchscreen displays and complements Microchip’s existing SAMA7G54, a 1GHz Arm Cortex-A7-based MPU.

Embedded developers can leverage the Microchip Graphics Suite to build advanced graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and other graphics applications on MPLAB® Harmony v3 and Linux® software platforms.

This integrated solution provides GUI interfaces and other graphical applications.Supports feet, increases design reusability and simplifies complexity across projects.

Microchip's portfolio of 32-bit and 64-bit Arm and RISC-V-based MPUs provides powerful, flexible solutions for a wide range of applications from consumer electronics to space.

In addition to single- and multi-core System-on-Module (SOM) and System-in-Package (SiP) MPUs, it also provides critical components essential for applications such as connectivity, security, power management, timing, and memory.

The SAMA7D65 MPU supports Microchip Graphics Suite (MGS) and other third-party graphics tools, and is supported in MPLAB Harmony v3 for customers developing RTOS or bare metal systems.

Linux support is provided by Microchip’s major Linux distributions. The SAMA7D65 Curiosity Development Board is also available for evaluation, and the product is in production and available for purchase.
