SAM9X60 Series Microprocessor Collaterals and Solutions
Last modified by Microchip on 2026/01/09 08:12
The SAM9X60 is a high-performance, ultra-low power Arm926EJ-S™ CPU-based embedded microprocessor (MPU) running up to 600 MHz. It integrates powerful peripherals for connectivity and user interface applications and offers security functions (tamper detection, secure boot program, secure key storage, etc.), True Random Number Generator (TRNG), as well as high-performance crypto accelerators for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA). Microchip MPUs are supported by a wide range of software and development tools, including Linux®, bare metal, MPLAB® Harmony, third-party tools, and software.
To reduce the learning curve and to help in developing applications on SAM9X60 series MPUs, a wide range of supporting collateral is available, including training modules, application notes, technical briefs, demos, reference guides, and videos. This document provides references to such technical material.
