SAM9 Series
When your microcontroller (MCU)-based application requires enhanced data handling, greater processing power, or higher display resolution (beyond Video Graphics Array (VGA)), it's time to upgrade. Microchip offers hybrid MCUs (SAM9 Series of MPU) that run up to 800 MHz, filling the gap between traditional MCUs and microprocessors (MPUs). Unlike typical MPUs that use junction temperature (Tjunction), these MCUs are designed with ambient temperature (Tambient) in mind, simplifying thermal considerations. They include rich peripheral sets and integration options like Double Data Rate (DDR), System-in-Package (SiP), and System on Module (SOM), ideal for cost-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT), consumer, and industrial applications.
The SAM9 MPU series from Microchip is a family of high-performance 32-bit MPUs built around the ARM926EJ-S core, designed to meet the increasing demands of industrial, consumer, and IoT applications. With support for rich user interfaces, high-speed connectivity, and flexible memory configurations, SAM9 MPUs offer a balanced combination of performance, power efficiency, and ease of integration. These devices are supported by robust development tools and software frameworks, including Linux® distributions and Microchip's MPLAB® ecosystem, making them an excellent choice for applications requiring advanced processing with minimal power and thermal overhead.
