Microchip Technology SAMA7G54 single-core MPU

The SAMA7G54 single-core low-power MPU from Microchip is in the 1 GHz performance class of Linux-capable MPUs as it provides flexible low-power modes, as well as voltage and frequency scaling. When coupled with Microchip’s MCP16502 Power Management IC (PMIC), this MPU enables embedded designers to fine-tune their end application for the overall best power consumption vs performance. The MCP16502 is supported by Microchip’s mainline Linux distribution for the single-core MPU, allowing for easy entry and exit from available low-power modes, as well as support for dynamic voltage and frequency scaling.

Microchip provides both hardware and software development support for the low-power MPU. The SAMA7G54-EK Evaluation Kit (CPN: EV21H18A) features connectors and expansion headers for easy customisation and quick access to leading edge embedded features. The device is supported by Microchip’s mainline Linux distribution. Bare-metal framework and RTOS support is provided within MPLAB Harmony v3.

Microchip provides a broad family of Ethernet PHYs, switches and hubs, and wireless products, as well as CAN FD transceivers that are supported by the SAMA7G54.
