Arm® Cortex®-A7 Based Microprocessors (MPUs)


Designed for consumer and industrial applications, our high-performance Arm Cortex-A7-based SAMA7 MPU family runs at up to 1 GHz and support multiple memories including DDR3, LPDDR3 and QSPI/Octal Flash.

These devices contain a rich set of peripherals to simplify your design including graphics (LCD, 2D GPU, MIPI-DSI, LVDS), imaging (MIPI CSI-2®), audio subsystems, dual Ethernet, CAN FD connectivity and robust security features.

We also provide a comprehensive development environment through our mainline Linux® OS distribution and our separate MPLAB® development ecosystem to design your end product at the bare-metal or RTOS level.
