3.3.2 Component Supply Advantages

The SOM addresses component procurement concerns on a larger scale than the SIP. The SAMA5D27-SOM1, SAMA5D2 SIP and SAMA5D2 are backed by Microchip’s customer-driven obsolescence policy which ensures availability for as long as needed.

The SOM supply provides better cycle times than for the included components. In particular, this is an advantage in periods of component shortage.
