Atmel SAM9 Block Diagram 2 Atmel SAM9 Block Diagram 1

Atmel's ARM926-based SAM9 embedded microprocessors offer operating frequencies up to 400 MHz. The system can boot from DataFlash, NAND Flash, or SDCard in addition to the classic boot from NOR Flash memory. SAM9 microprocessors target multimedia, medical, POS, and industrial control applications that demand high-bandwidth communications, high-density data storage and modern graphical user interfaces.

The 400 MHz SAM9M10 embedded microprocessor integrates a video decoder that plays resolutions up to D1 (720x576) or WVGA (800x480) at 30fps and supports multiple formats, H264, H263, MPEG4, MPEG2, VC1, and JPEG. The LCD display provides graphic accelerations that include image scaling and rotation, color space conversion, and picture-in-picture capability. Other features include twin parallel EBI (External Bus Interfaces) supporting DDR2 (Dual Data Rate DRAM) at 133 MHz, High Speed (480 Mbps) USB Host and Device Ports with on-chip transceivers, Ethernet MAC, two interfaces for MMC 4.3 and SDIO/SDCard 2.0, LCD controller with resistive touch screen interface, CMOS camera, and audio. The SAM9M10 targets media rich display and control panels in application segments such as home and commercial buildings, POS (Point of Sale) terminals, entertainment systems, Internet appliances and medical.

The SAM9M11 is a multimedia-enabled ARM926-based device with integrated hardware encryption engine and true random number generator, which passes the NIST Special Publication 800-22 and Diehard Random Tests Suites. It targets secured networked applications requiring hardware encryption via AES (256, 192 and 128-bit key algorithm) compliant with the American FIPS publication 197 specification, 3DES (single or three-key algorithm) compliant with the FIPS PUB 46-3 specification, as well as digital signature authentication using SHA1 and SHA256 algorithms compliant with the FIPS Publication 180-2. The SAM9M11 offers the same feature set as found in the SAM9M10, including a hardware video decoder with resolution D1 at 30fps, 2D accelerator with scaling, rotation, color conversion and picture-in-picture, DDR2 memory support, high-speed serial communication peripherals (10/100 Ethernet, SDIO/SD/MMC, USB 2.0 Host and Device), as well as TFT LCD controller and touchscreen support.

Atmel's SAM9G46 is an ARM926-based embedded microprocessor with integrated hardware encryption engine and true random number generator, which passes the NIST Special Publication 800-22 and Diehard Random Tests Suites. It targets secured networked applications requiring hardware encryption via AES (256, 192 and 128-bit key algorithm) compliant with the American FIPS publication 197 specification, 3DES (single or three-key algorithm) compliant with the FIPS PUB 46-3 specification, as well as digital signature authentication using SHA1 and SHA256 algorithms compliant with the FIPS Publication 180-2. The SAM9G46 offers the same feature set as found in the SAM9G45, including DDR2 memory support, high-speed serial communication peripherals (10/100 Ethernet, SDIO/SD/MMC, USB 2.0 Host and Device), as well as TFT LCD controller, and touchscreen support. It targets main powered, cost-sensitive industrial applications such as industrial and building control, HVAC, POS terminals, alarm systems, printers and medical that require security features.
