SAM9M Multimedia-enabled MCUs by Atmel

Semiconductor Vendor with ARM Processor RTL license from ARM

Product Description

The Atmel® ARM®926EJ-S™ based SAM9M10/SAM9M11 microcontrollers integrate an on-chip hardware video decoder and 2D accelerator, ensuring high-quality video functionality while preserving the full processing power of the CPU for the application. Additional features include an embedded TFT LCD controller, resistive touchscreen support, camera interface, audio, high-speed serial communication and DDR2 memory support. Architectured for maximum performance, the Atmel SAM9M10/11 is power-efficient, with typical consumption levels below 300uW/MHz. The SAM9M11 adds AES, TDES and SHA hardware encryption, making the device suitable for secured networked applications and software authentication. To make evaluation and code development easy, an evaluation kit is available, delivered with free packages for Android™, Microsoft® Windows® and Linux® to enable rapid application development. Industry-leading third parties supply a full range of development tools, operating systems, protocol stacks and applications to minimize time to market.
