Automotive HMI SiP packs MPU and DDR2 memory
The SAM9X75D5M from Microchip is a hybrid SiP for automotive HMI applications, integrating an 800‑MHz ARM926EJ‑S 32‑bit processor with 512 Mbits of DDR2 SDRAM. The package also includes a 24‑bit LCD controller supporting displays up to 10 in. with XGA resolution (1024×768), simplifying high-performance graphical interfaces.
This hybrid SiP combines MPU-class processing with high-density memory in a single package, reducing PCB complexity while maintaining MCU-style development workflows. For automotive and e-mobility HMIs, it offers real-time OS support and flexible display and camera interfaces, including MIPI DSI, LVDS, RGB, MIPI CSI, and 12-bit parallel I/F.
AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified, the SAM9X75D5M provides CAN FD, USB, and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) capability. It also integrates 2D graphics, audio, and advanced security functions.
The device comes in a 243‑ball BGA package (part number SAM9X75D5M‑V/4TBVAO) and is priced at $9.12 each in 5000‑unit quantities. Variants with 1 Gbit and 2 Gbits of memory are now sampling.
