3.1 Hardware Design Resources

As the SAM9X60 Series System-in-Package (SiP) MPU embeds a DDR SDRAM memory chip, most of the design complexity related to high-speed DDR interface routing is avoided when using the SAM9X60 System-On-Module.

For carrier board design, Microchip provides complete SAM9X60 System-On-Module schematics and PCB design files in Altium format (available upon request and under a license agreement), enabling electrical simulations for high-speed interfaces such as USB, as well as mechanical evaluation and simulation. For signal integrity simulation, Microchip provides IBIS models of the SAM9X60 Series SiP device.
