It also supports the Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) protocol and comes with integrated 2D graphics and audio capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>And Microchip support for HMI systems includes its maXTouch technology, which provides power management and reliable touch sensing. For example, in harsh environments or with water on the LCD screen<\/p>\n<p>The SAM9X75D5M supports both RTOS (Real-Time Operating Systems) and Linux environments.<\/p>\n<h2>SiP<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Microchip\u2019s SAM9X75D5M product redefines the standard for automotive-grade solutions, combining a high-performance processor with memory in a single package and bringing benefits of a SiP to the automotive market,&#8221; said Rod Drake, corporate vice president of Microchip Technology\u2019s MPU business unit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the advantages of a SiP is that it provides significantly more RAM buffer space than a traditional MCU implementation and on a much more compact PCB than can be done with discrete memory\u2014giving designers options to fit complex designs into a small space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Dev tools<\/h2>\n<p>In terms of development tool support, the SAM9X75D5M is supported by the MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and MPLAB Harmony Software Framework. This is for development for RTOSs including FreeRTOS and Eclipse ThreadX.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use Microchip Graphics Suite (MGS) or other third-party graphics software tools such as Crank, LVGL, Altia and Embedded Wizard to develop the graphics.<\/p>\n<p>The SAM9X75 Curiosity LAN Kit (EV31H43A) is available for evaluating SAM9X75 SiP devices.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, for pricing and availability, the SAM9X75D5M is available now for $9.12 each in 5,000 unit quantities. Larger 1 Gbit and 2 Gbit memory devices for automotive are available for sampling now, adds Microchip.<\/p>\n<p>More information is on the <a rel=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microchip.com\/en-us\/product\/SAM9X75D5M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Microchip<\/a> website, including the <a rel=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/ww1.microchip.com\/downloads\/aemDocuments\/documents\/MPU32\/ProductDocuments\/DataSheets\/SAM9X75-SIP-Series-Data-Sheet-DS60001827.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">datasheet<\/a> (PDF).<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.electronicsweekly.com\/tag\/microchip\/\">See all our Microchip content<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microchip&#8217;s AEC-Q100 Grade 2-qualified, SAM9X75D5M System-in-Package (SiP) addresses growing demand for Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) in automotive and e-mobility applications.
