ARM-based Embedded MPU SAMA5D3 Series DATASHEET Description The Atmel SAMA5D3 series is a high-performance, power-efficient embedded MPU based on the ARM Cortex -A5 processor, achieving 536 MHz with power consumption levels below 0.5 mW in low-power mode. The device features a floating point unit for high-precision computing and accelerated data processing, and a high data bandwidth architecture. It integrates advanced user interface and connectivity peripherals and security features. The SAMA5D3 series features an internal multi-layer bus architecture associated with 39 DMA channels to sustain the high bandwidth required by the processor and the high-speed peripherals. The device offers support for DDR2/LPDDR/LPDDR2 and MLC NAND Flash memory with 24-bit ECC. The comprehensive peripheral set includes an LCD controller with overlays for hardware-accelerated image composition, a touchscreen interface and a CMOS sensor interface. Connectivity peripherals include Gigabit EMAC with IEEE1588, 10/100 EMAC, multiple CAN, UART, SPI and I2C. With its secure boot mechanism, hardware accelerated engines for encryption (AES, TDES) and hash function (SHA), the SAMA5D3 ensures anti-cloning, code protection and secure external data transfers. The SAMA5D3 series is optimized for control panel/HMI applications and applications that require high levels of connectivity in the industrial and consumer markets. Its low- power consumption levels make the SAMA5D3 particularly suited for battery-powered devices. There are five SAMA5D3 devices in this series. Table 1-1 SAMA5D3 Device Differences shows the differences in the embedded features. All other features are available on all derivatives this includes the three USB ports as well as the encryption engine and secure boot features. 11121CATARM15-Oct-131.
