The SAMA5D3 series is the only ARM® Cortex™-A5 based MPU in production which targets industrial applications. It is a versatile product that can target multiple applications thanks to a comprehensive peripheral set. Among the key features, the following can be highlighted: a 536MHz ARM Cortex-A5 core delivering 850 DMIPS and a Floating Point Unit (v4). It will be seen later that this FPU is key for some applications and has significant advantages over existing devices on the market. Low power consumption numbers in both active (RUN) mode at full speed and low power mode with full SRAM and register retention. Dual Ethernet MAC with one sustaining Gigabit speed and real time stamping (IEEE1588), and a unique setup of three high-speed USB ports. A hardware encryption engine to encrypt data or communications, and a secure boot solution to prevent cloning of the application and protect SW IPs. Microchip is proud to offer 12 years of lifetime commitment, key for industrial customers.
