ATSAMA5D28C-LD1G-CUR

The ATSAMA5D28C-LD1G-CUR is an ARM® Cortex®-A5 microprocessor IC delivering a single 32-bit core at 500 MHz in a 289-LFBGA (14×14) surface-mount package. It targets embedded and industrial applications that require a compact MPU with multimedia acceleration, a broad set of memory interface options, and comprehensive security features.

With industrial operating range and a wide peripheral set—including Ethernet, USB 2.0, display controllers and I2C—this MPU is suited for designs that need performance, secure boot and runtime security, and flexible memory subsystem choices.

Key Features

• Core ARM® Cortex®-A5 single core, 32-bit at 500 MHz for deterministic embedded processing.
• Security Built-in security features including ARM TrustZone (ARM TZ), boot security, cryptography, RTIC, secure fusebox, secure JTAG, secure memory and secure RTC to protect boot and runtime integrity.
• Memory Interfaces Supports LPDDR1, LPDDR2, LPDDR3, DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L and QSPI memory controllers for flexible memory subsystem design.
• Multimedia Acceleration Includes multimedia co-processors and NEON™ MPE plus graphics acceleration and display interface controllers for keyboard, LCD and touchscreen integration.
• Connectivity 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (1), USB 2.0 with HSIC and I2C for typical networked and peripheral connections.
• Power and IO 3.3 V I/O voltage support to match common industrial peripherals and interfaces.
• Package and Mounting 289-LFBGA (14×14) supplier device package, surface mount for compact PCB integration.
• Industrial Grade Operating temperature range −40 °C to 85 °C for use in industrial environments.
• Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Linux systems — Suitable for designs using larger memory configurations and operating systems where the Cortex‑A5 core and supported memory controllers provide required performance.
• Industrial HMI and control — Display interface controllers (keyboard, LCD, touchscreen), graphics acceleration and industrial temperature rating make it appropriate for human-machine interfaces and control panels.
• Secure networked devices — On-chip Ethernet, USB 2.0 and extensive security features support secure connectivity and protected boot/runtime operation.

Unique Advantages

• Comprehensive onboard security: A broad set of security capabilities (ARM TZ, secure JTAG, secure fusebox, cryptography, secure memory and secure RTC) enables secure boot and protected runtime environments.
• Flexible memory support: Multiple supported memory types (LPDDR1/2/3, DDR2/3/3L and QSPI) let designers choose memory technology and capacity to match performance and cost targets.
• Multimedia and graphics acceleration: NEON™ MPE and dedicated multimedia blocks with display interface controllers simplify building responsive UIs and media-capable embedded products.
• Industrial-ready thermal range: Rated for −40 °C to 85 °C operation to meet many industrial deployment requirements.
• Compact BGA package: 289-LFBGA surface-mount package delivers high integration density for space-constrained PCBs.
• Vendor backing: Manufactured by Microchip Technology, offering established supply and documentation for development and production.
