3.2 Processor

The SAMA7G5 is a high-performance, ultra-low power Arm® Cortex®-A7 CPU-based embedded microprocessor (MPU) running up to 1 GHz, with support for multiple memories such as 16-bit DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR2, LPDDR3, octal/quad SPI and e.MMC Flash.

The SAMA7G5 integrates complete imaging and audio subsystems with 12-bit parallel and/or MIPI-CSI2 camera interfaces up to 8 Mpixels at 30 fps, up to four I²S data I/Os, one SPDIF transmitter and receiver and a 4-stereo channel audio sample rate converter.

The device also features a large number of connectivity options with Dual Ethernet (one Gigabit Ethernet and one 10/100 Ethernet), six CAN-FD and three high-speed USB and offers advanced security functions (secure boot, secure key storage, high-performance crypto accelerators for AES, SHA, RSA and ECC).
