Microchip Eases Design and Manufacturing with Small Form-Factor MPU-Based System-on-Module

As the embedded market continues to grow rapidly and evolve, developers are seeking to optimize product development, or they may need to transition from a microcontroller (MCU) to a microprocessor (MPU) to handle increased processing requirements. The new Microchip system-on-module SAM9X60D1G-SOM is an ARM926EJ-S-based embedded MPU running up to 600 MHz with software available with bare metal or RTOS support, and complete Linux mainlined distributions.
