Privacy PolicyMore Than a Chip
We offer a broad portfolio of microprocessor (MPU) solutions to meet your performance, low-power, connectivity, Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and security design needs. Our MPU offering includes a large variety of Systems on Modules (SOMs) and Systems in Packages (SiPs) that reduce design complexity by integrating different components such as memories, power management and wired/wireless connectivity to speed up your time to market and ease your supply chain.
Our easy-to-use MPUs include comprehensive development environments:
- If you plan to design an RTOS- or bare metal-based product, you can use our MPLAB® X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and MPLAB Harmony embedded development framework that includes MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite.
- If you plan to use the Linux® Operating System (OS), you can continue to use a mainline Linux OS that includes a complete application-level graphics solution based on the Ensemble Graphics Toolkit (EGT), an open-source GUI.
SAM9 Series
Step up from a microcontroller (MCU)-based solution to a higher level of performance with the ARM926EJ-S core based MPU family, which runs at two or three times the speed of an MCU.
This family provides a rich set of peripherals, HMI and security features for transportation, industrial, home appliance and consumer applications.
SAMA5 Series
With an Arm® Cortex®-A5 processor core, the SAMA5 family is a step up in performance compared to our SAM9 family.
This family provides up to 940 DMIPS, a rich set of peripherals, HMI and security features for transportation, industrial, home appliance and consumer applications.
SAMA7 Series
Do you need higher processing capabilities for analytics or Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML)?
Does your next gateway design require advanced connectivity? We designed our SAMA7G family based on an Arm Cortex-A7 processor class that runs up to 1 GHz (1900 DMIPS) to support your transportation, industrial, home appliance and consumer designs.
SiPs and SOMs
Our SiP and SOM options ease the design of an MPU-based system. They comply with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards and ensure signal integrity for high-speed interfaces and DDR memory, and in the case of the SOM, the Ethernet physical layer (PHY) as well. You can solder the SOM to a motherboard and take it to production or use it as a reference design for your custom hardware.
We also offer free schematics, Gerber files and a complete bill of materials online.We custom-built Linux and MPLAB X IDE and Harmony development code for SiPs and SOMs, allowing you to move to production even faster.
Our software solutions let you take full advantages of our silicon by providing a simple, transparent development experience. Easily build your project using either our MPLAB X Harmony environment for bare metal and RTOS development or our mainline Linux OS distribution.
MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB Harmony Software Framework
MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
A single Integrated Development Environment (IDE) supporting all PIC and SAM MCUs and MPUs
MPLAB Xpress Cloud-Based IDE
An online development environment that contains the most popular features of our award-winning MPLAB X IDE
MPLAB Harmony v3 Software Framework
A fully integrated embedded software development framework for our 32-bit MCUs and MPUs that provides flexible and interoperable software modules and easy-to-use APIs to simplify the development of value-added features to differentiate your product
MPLAB XC Compiler
A comprehensive solution for your software development that integrates with MPLAB X IDE to provide a full graphical front end
MPLAB X IDE also comes with MPLAB Harmony Graphics Suite (MHGS) for creating professional-looking embedded Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). This tightly integrated system of tools and software allows you to add GUIs, animation and imagery quickly and easily to a graphical display.
Linux OS
All our Linux development code is mainlined in the Linux communities, providing you full access to source code and long-term support. This also opens the door to the world’s largest developer community, providing access to qualified software engineers who can assist with your MPU-based projects.
You can also benefit from our Ensemble Graphics Toolkit (EGT), a free open-source C++ GUI development tool that provides a great user experience and a high-quality look and feel.
Add Security to Your MPUs
If you connect your system to a network or want to protect your brand, security is a key requirement and ultimately a strategic asset. We can help you secure your design with options ranging from our advanced embedded security implementations on our MPUs to a segmented processing element known as a secure enclave.
Whether you need cloud provisioning, secured communication, certificate management, system resilience, data authentication, secure boot or secrets storage, you can depend on us to find and implement the right security measures easily.
