Description
The SAM9M11 is a multimedia enabled mid-range ARM926-based embedded MPU running at
400MHz, combining user interfaces, video playback and connectivity. It includes hardware video
decoder, LCD Controller, resistive touchscreen, camera interface, audio, Ethernet 10/100 and
high speed USB and SDIO.
The hardware video decoder supports H.264, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VC-1, H.263 up to D1 (720 x
576 pixels) or WVGA (800 x 480) resolutions at 30 frames per second (fps). The SAM9M11 also
provides hardware image post-processing, such as image scaling, color conversion and image
rotation.
The SAM9M11 supports the latest generation of DDR2 and NAND Flash memory interfaces for
program and data storage. An internal 133 MHz multi-layer bus architecture associated with 39
DMA channels, a dual external bus interface and distributed memory including a 64-KByte
SRAM which can be configured as a tightly coupled memory (TCM) sustains the high bandwidth
required by the processor and the high speed peripherals.
On-chip hardware accelerators with DMA support enable high-speed data encryption and
authentication of the transferred data or application. Supported standards are up to 256-bit AES,
FIPS PUB 46-3 compliant TDES and FIPS Publication 180-2 compliant SHA1 and SHA256. A
True Random Number Generator is embedded for key generation and exchange protocols.
The I/Os support 1.8V or 3.3V operation, which are independently configurable for the memory
interface and peripheral I/Os. This feature completely eliminates the need for any external level
shifters. In addition it supports 0.8 ball pitch package for low cost PCB manufacturing.
The SAM9M11 power management controller features efficient clock gating and a battery
backup section minimizing power consumption in active and standby modes.
The SAM9M11 device is particularly well suited for media-rich displays and control panels in
home and commercial buildings, POS terminals, entertainment systems, internet appliances and
medical applications.
