CHANDLER, Ariz. Microchip Technology Inc. in Chandler, Ariz., is introducing the SAMA7G54 Arm Cortex A7-based microprocessor that runs as fast as 1 GHz for low-power stereo vision applications with accurate depth perception.<\/p>\n
The SAMA7G54 includes a MIPI CSI-2 camera interface and a traditional parallel camera interface for high-performing yet low-power artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that can be deployed at the edge, where power consumption is at a premium.<\/p>\n
AI solutions often require advanced imaging and audio capabilities which typically are found only on multi-core microprocessors that also consume much more power.<\/p>\n
When coupled with Microchip's MCP16502 Power Management IC (PMIC), this microprocessor enables embedded designers to fine-tune their applications for best power consumption vs. performance, while also optimizing for low overall system cost.<\/p>\n

The MCP16502 is supported by Microchip's mainline Linux distribution for the SAMA7G54, allowing for easy entry and exit from available low-power modes, as well as support for dynamic voltage and frequency scaling.<\/p>\n
For audio applications, the device has audio features such as four I2S digital audio ports, an eight-microphone array interface, an S\/PDIF transmitter and receiver, as well as a stereo four-channel audio sample rate converter. It has several microphone inputs for source localization for smart speaker or video conferencing systems.<\/p>\n
The SAMA7G54 also integrates Arm TrustZone technology with secure boot, and secure key storage and cryptography with acceleration. The SAMA7G54-EK Evaluation Kit (CPN: EV21H18A) features connectors and expansion headers for easy customization and quick access to embedded features.<\/p>\n
