Designed for embedded system designers, this SAMA5D2-series device combines a 32-bit Cortex‑A5 core with a broad set of memory controller support, connectivity options and hardware security to simplify design and support robust operation from -40 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Core – ARM® Cortex®-A5 single core, 32‑bit, running at 500 MHz for deterministic embedded performance.
• Memory controllers – Integrated controllers supporting LPDDR1, LPDDR2, LPDDR3, DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L and QSPI to match a range of external memory configurations.
• Security – Hardware security features including ARM TrustZone (TZ), boot security, cryptography, RTIC, Secure Fusebox, Secure JTAG, secure memory and secure RTC for protected boot and data handling.
• Connectivity & peripherals – On‑chip 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, USB 2.0 with HSIC, I²C and display interface controllers for keyboard, LCD and touchscreen support.
• Multimedia & graphics – Multimedia co-processor support with NEON™ MPE and graphics acceleration for GUI and multimedia tasks.
• Power & I/O – 3.3 V I/O voltage; surface-mount 196-TFBGA package simplifies board-level integration.
• Package & temperature – 196‑TFBGA (11×11) package, surface mount, industrial operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C.

Typical Applications

• Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMI) – Drives LCD and touchscreen interfaces and offloads graphics with hardware acceleration for responsive user interfaces.
• Industrial control – Industrial-grade temperature rating and Ethernet connectivity make it suitable for controllers and instrumentation in harsh environments.
• Secure embedded gateways – On-chip security features (TrustZone, secure boot, cryptography) enable protected communications and device authentication.
• Multimedia endpoints – NEON MPE and graphics acceleration support audio/video processing and display applications in embedded devices.
• Peripheral hubs and USB devices – USB 2.0 + HSIC and multiple peripheral interfaces support host and device connectivity roles in compact designs.

Unique Advantages

• Comprehensive interface set: Ethernet, USB, I²C and display controllers reduce the need for external bridge chips and simplify BOM.
• Broad memory support: Built‑in controllers for DDR/LPDDR and QSPI allow designers to choose memory technologies that match performance and cost targets.
• Industry‑grade reliability: Rated for -40 °C to 85 °C and supplied in a robust surface‑mount TFBGA package for industrial deployments.
• Built‑in security primitives: Multiple hardware security features support secure boot, cryptography and protected debug to harden designs against tampering.
• Multimedia acceleration: NEON™ MPE and graphics acceleration enable richer UIs and media handling while offloading the main core.
• Compact integration: TFBGA package and integrated peripheral set help minimize PCB area and simplify routing for compact embedded boards.
