Introduction

The Microchip SAMA5D27 SOM1 is a small single-sided System-On-Module (SOM) based on the high-performance System-in-Package 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-A5 processor-based MPU SAMA5D27 and 1Gb DDR2 SDRAM running up to 500 MHz.

The SAMA5D27 SOM1 is built on a common set of proven Microchip components to reduce time to market by simplifying hardware design and software development.

The SOM also limits design rules of the main application board, reducing overall PCB complexity and cost. The SAMA5D27 SOM1 is delivered with a free Linux® distribution and bare metal C examples.
