ATSAMA5D27C-LD1G-CU

The ATSAMA5D27C-LD1G-CU is an ARM® Cortex®-A5 based microprocessor IC featuring a single 32-bit core running at 500 MHz in a 361-TFBGA (16×16) surface-mount package. It is part of the SAMA5D2 series and provides a high-performance, ultra‑low‑power MPU architecture with integrated system-level features suited to embedded and industrial designs.

Designed for applications requiring display, connectivity and security capabilities, the device combines a Cortex‑A5 core with multimedia acceleration, a broad set of memory controllers and multiple peripheral interfaces to simplify system design and integration.

Key Features

• Core  ARM® Cortex®-A5 single core, 32‑bit, 500 MHz for embedded compute and control tasks.
• Memory & Integration  On-package System‑in‑Package (SIP) options are available in the SAMA5D2 series that integrate the MPU with LPDDR2/DDR2 memory; TFBGA361 package options support 1 Gbit and 2 Gbit LPDDR2‑SDRAM (as described in SAMA5D2 SIP documentation).
• Memory Controllers  Support for LPDDR1, LPDDR2, LPDDR3, DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L and QSPI memory interfaces for flexible system memory choices.
• Multimedia & Acceleration  Multimedia DSP co‑processor and NEON™ MPE plus graphics acceleration for UI and media workloads.
• Display & Input  Integrated display interface controllers for LCD, touchscreen and keyboard support to enable human‑machine interfaces.
• Connectivity  10/100 Mbps Ethernet (1), USB 2.0 with HSIC and I2C peripheral interface for wired connectivity and sensor/board communications.
• Security  Built‑in security features including ARM TrustZone (TZ), boot security, cryptography, RTIC, secure fusebox, secure JTAG, secure memory and secure RTC for device and data protection.
• Power & I/O  3.3 V I/O voltage specification for standard embedded system interfacing.
• Package & Temperature  361‑TFBGA (16×16) surface mount package; industrial grade operation from −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Systems  Use in industrial control and monitoring where industrial temperature range and robust security features are required.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMI)  Drive LCD/touchscreen displays and keyboard inputs with multimedia acceleration to enable responsive operator interfaces.
• Secure Embedded Gateways  Combine Ethernet, USB and on‑device security primitives to implement secure networked endpoints or gateways.
• Multimedia and Embedded Devices  Leverage the multimedia DSP and NEON MPE for lightweight media processing and graphics acceleration in embedded applications.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated SIP options: SAMA5D2 SIP configurations integrate the MPU with LPDDR2/DDR2 memory in a single package, reducing PCB routing complexity and board area.
• Flexible memory support: On‑chip memory controllers for LPDDR/DDR and QSPI give designers options across performance and cost targets.
• Comprehensive security stack: Multiple hardware security features (TrustZone, secure JTAG, secure memory, secure RTC, cryptography and secure fusebox) enable hardened boot and runtime protection.
• Industrial temperature rating: Operation from −40 °C to 85 °C suits deployment in industrial environments.
• Rich peripheral set: Ethernet, USB 2.0 + HSIC, I2C and display/input controllers simplify system integration for connected, interactive products.
• Vendor documentation: Part of the SAMA5D2 series with dedicated datasheet and product documentation to support design integration and validation.
