The SAM V series of Arm® Cortex®-M7 based automotive microcontrollers (MCUs) focuses on many automotive applications, including in-vehicle infotainment, audio amplifiers, telematic control units, head units and ISO 26262 functional safety applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). SAM V MCUs target ASIL B safety levels with all the safety collateral and certified diagnostic code. In addition, ASIL B MCALs are available for AUTOSAR.
Key Features
High performance: Up to 1500 CoreMarks® with the Arm Cortex-M7 core clocked at up to 300 MHz and coupled with unprecedented DSP performance
Advanced Memory Architecture: Up to 384 KB of multi-port memory out of which up to 256 KB can be assigned as Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM) for data and instructions, delivering 0 wait state at 300 MHz
Ethernet-AVB: The SAM V71 embeds an Ethernet MAC with specific hardware support for Audio Video Bridging (AVB); credit-based traffic shaping is implemented in hardware within the MAC to avoid involving the CPU
High Speed USB: Host and device mode High Speed USB controller with integrated PHY for reduced BOM cost
MOST® technology connectivity: 3-wire MediaLB® device interface provides seamless integration into a MOST network ring
Audio interfaces: Flexible TDM/I2S™ interfaces to connect audio sources, codecs or DSPs
CAN FD: Latest CAN 2.0 and CAN Flexible Data Rate (FD) controller for higher bandwidth
Automotive Grade: AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40°C to 105°C) qualified
