Atmel SAM9 to the Power of Five
More Features, More Flexibility for Your ARM926™-based Industrial and Commercial Designs
Five new ARM926-based Atmel® SAM9 microcontrollers deliver expanded feature sets—including enhanced display and connectivity peripherals—to give you the flexibility to design industrial and commercial applications that make a difference. High levels of performance and integration coupled with reduced system cost make the new Atmel SAM9 processors ideal for main-powered, cost-sensitive applications such as industrial and building control, HVAC, POS terminals, smart grid, printers and medical.
Enhanced Connectivity and Display Interfaces
Connectivity peripherals include up to three USB ports, CAN, Ethernet, SDIO/SDCard/MMC and a unique integrated soft modem. Display peripherals include a graphics LCD controller with 4-layer overlay and 2D acceleration (picture-in-picture, alpha-blending, scaling, rotation, color conversion), camera, and touch screen interfaces.
Soft Modem
This unique solution developed with the worldwide leader Conexant saves the cost of an external modem chip. It enables seamless connection to a smart DAA line driver while the protocol stack is running on the host CPU.
High-performance Architecture
Features a processor clock running at 400 MHz and a high data-bandwidth architecture based on a multi-layer bus matrix with dual 8-channel central Direct Memory Access (DMA) controllers. Plus it provides dedicated DMAs to support the high-speed connectivity peripherals.
Advanced Memory Support
The new devices offer LPDDR, DDR2 and MLC NAND Flash support, in addition to SDRAM and NOR Flash, with boot from NAND Flash, SDCard, DataFlash® or serial DataFlash. They also support up to 24-bit error code correction on MLC NAND Flash.
Low Power, Low Cost
Power consumption is only 300µW/MHz at 400MHz operation and 8µA in backup mode. 3.3V IOs eliminate the need for external level shifters while 0.8mm ball pitch packages simplify PCB design.
Evaluation Kits and Support Ecosystem
Full-featured evaluation kits are available with free board support packages (BSP) for Linux®. Development tools, OS, middleware products and support from industry-leading partners further reduce time-to-market to a minimum.
