Mouser Electronics, a leader in New Product Introductions (NPIs) that enable innovation™, is now stocking Microchip's ultra-low-power MPUs for high-performance connectivity and user interface applications.

Mouser announced on the 30th that it is stocking the SAM9X70, an ultra-low-power microprocessor (MPU) from Microchip Technology.


Delivering low system cost and high value-added features along with high performance and low power consumption, the SAM9X7 series MPUs are based on a powerful 800MHz Arm Thumb® processor, feature excellent connectivity options, rich user interface features, and cutting-edge security capabilities.

The Microchip Technology SAM9X70 MPU, available from Mouser Electronics, features an ARM926EJ-S processor core that supports execution speeds up to 800 MHz and system processing performance up to 266 MHz.

The on-chip memory includes 176Kbytes of internal ROM and 64Kbytes of internal SRAM, as well as a DDR3(L)/DDR2 controller and an External Bus Interface (EBI).

Additionally, this MPU supports various non-volatile memory (NVM) interfaces, including NAND flash, Quad SPI, and eMMC flash.r />
The SAM9X7 MPU achieves extremely low power consumption through a real-time clock (RTC), 32-bit general-purpose registers and clock generator, power management controller, and software-programmable ultra-low power modes and optimizations.

In addition to this processing performance and powerful ultra-low-power features, the SAM9X7 series differentiates itself through a wide range of on-chip peripheral interfaces.

This MPU features a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interface that supports Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) connectivity, enabling consistent performance message transmission over standard Ethernet.

The device also provides Gigabit Ethernet over TSN and CAN-FD, as well as MIPI-DSI, LVDS, RGB, 2D graphics, and MIPI-CSI-2 for connectivity and user interface applications. Additional connectivity options include an LCD controller, an image sensor controller, 13 FLEXCOMs, an ADC, PWM, two Hi-Speed USB devices, and three Hi-Speed USB hosts.

In addition to these connectivity peripherals, the SAM9X7 series is equipped with cutting-edge security features such as high-performance cryptographic accelerators (SHA, AES, and TDES) to protect confidential information and encrypt critical data, and Secure Boot based on on-chip secure key storage (OTP) to effectively protect secret keys from unauthorized users. It also provides security features such as tamper resistance and a Physical Unclonable Function (PUF), which generates one-time, on-demand keys that are immediately deleted after use.

Microchip Technology's SAM9X70 MPU is available in a 240-ball BGA package. These MPUs are ideally suited for applications such as the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive, connected devices and user interfaces. The SAM9X7 series is supported by Microchip's MPLAB®-X development tools, Harmony, Linux® distributions and Ensemble Graphics Toolkit. The SAM9X70's power sequencing capabilities can be combined with Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) such as the MCP16501 and MCP16502 to create a fully validated power management solution.
