[AP] ATMEL SAMA5D3 Cortex-A5

Atmel에서 신규 디바이스가 나왔습니다.

Cortex A8,A9 등등 M0, M3, M4 등등 많이 나오는데

뜬금없이 A5 

찾아 보니 ATMEL 외에는 특별이 Commercial하게 만드는곳이 한곳도 없네요.

High Performance

Designed to complement the power of the ARM Cortex-A5 core, the SAMA5D3 delivers 850DMIPS while consuming less than 200mW.

• 1.58 DMIPS/MHz ARM Cortex-A5 core
• 536MHz maximum operating frequency (850DMIPS)
• 64-bit internal bus architecture and 32-bit external bus interface (EBI)
  • 1328MB/s maximum bandwidth with 166MHz bus speed
• Floating point unit (FPU) for high-precision computing and accelerated data processing
  • ARM Cortex-A5 FPU offers three times the performance of the ARM Cortex-A8 FPU

 

Low Power Consumption

The SAMA5D3 uses innovative techniques to push down power consumption in all modes.

• <200mW in active mode at 536MHz with all peripherals activated
• <0.5mW in low-power mode with SRAM, registers retention and <0.5ms wake-up time ~1.2µA in backup mode with RTC running
• Ideal for battery-operated systems

 

Connectivity

The SAMA5D3 series embeds a wide range of advanced communication peripherals, making it ideal for bridges or gateways.

• Dual Ethernet and dual CAN ports
  • Gigabit Ethernet MAC with IEEE1588 and 10/100 MAC
  • Two CAN controllers
• Three HS USB ports that can be configured as three host or two host and one device port
• Three SDIO/SD/MMC ports, up to seven UARTs, two SPIs, three TWIs, soft modem, CMOS sensor interface, 12-bit ADC, 32-bit timers and more

 

Enhanced User Interfaces

With the SAMA5D3, you can create the sleek and smooth user interfaces required by today’s applications.

• Graphic LCD controller with overlays for image composition, integrating features such as alpha blending, scaling, color conversion, rotation
• Resistive touchscreen interface
• CMOS sensor interface
• 2x SSC interfaces

 

Security

The SAMA5D3 includes features to prevent cloning of your application as well as to secure communications and data storage.

• Secure boot
• Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)/Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption engine
• Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)
• True Random Number Generator (TRNG)

 

Low System Cost

With its high level of system integration, the SAMA5D3 provides maximum flexibility, while minimizing the need for expensive additional components.

• 0.8mm ball pitch package enables simple and low-cost PCB design
• A minimal external power supply saves the cost of an expensive PMIC
• 3x high-speed USB ports save the cost of an external hub
• Integrated soft modem solution saves the cost of an external modem device
• Impedance control on DDR lines save external resistors
• Embedded RTC with 1.2µA power consumption saves an external one
