Microchip Technology (MCHP) has unveiled its new SAMA7D65 microprocessor series, featuring a 1 GHz Arm® Cortex®-A7 core. The series is available in two variants: a System-in-Package (SiP) with 2 Gb DDR3L and a System-on-Chip (SoC).

The processors include advanced graphics capabilities with LVDS, MIPI DSI interfaces, and 2D GPU, targeting Human-Machine Interface applications in industrial, medical, and transportation markets. Key features include dual Gigabit Ethernet with Time Sensitive Networking support for precise synchronization and low-latency communication.

The SAMA7D65D2G SiP variant integrates 2 Gb DDR3L memory, streamlining development and simplifying supply chain logistics. The series is supported by Microchip Graphics Suite and MPLAB® Harmony v3, offering comprehensive tools for GUI development.

Microchip Technology (MCHP) has introduced MPLAB® XC Unified Compiler Licenses for its MPLAB XC8, XC16, XC-DSC and XC32 C compilers, streamlining the management of multiple licenses. This new unified approach aims to reduce financial and administrative burdens associated with managing separate software access models.

The solution offers multiple license tiers: Workstation License (for up to three machines, single user), Network Server License (server-based, single concurrent access), Subscription License (monthly renewal option), and Multi-Seat Network License (multiple simultaneous users).

The MPLAB XC Compilers integrate with MPLAB X IDE, MPLAB Xpress IDE, MPLAB IPE, and MPLAB Extensions for VS Code®, supporting Linux®, macOS®, and Windows® platforms. The new system will be showcased at Embedded World (March 11-13, 2025), with live chat support available in MPLAB X IDE version 6.25 releasing in early March.

Microchip Technology (MCHP) has launched two new touchscreen controller families, the ATMXT3072M1 and ATMXT2496M1, designed for automotive displays. These controllers support displays up to 20 inches in 16:9 format and 34 inches in 7:1 format, featuring up to 112 reconfigurable touch channels.

The new controllers offer improved touch Signal-to-Noise Ratio by up to +15 dB compared to previous generations, addressing challenges in large, curved displays including OLED and microLED technologies. They are compliant with ASIL-A and B standards and feature firmware authentication using SHA-512 cryptographic hash function for secure Over-the-Air updates.
