Microchip – SAMA5 WLSOM with WiFi and Bluetooth

The SAMA5D27 Wireless SOM1 (WLSOM1) is a small single-sided System-On-Module (SOM) based on a high-performance 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-A5 processor + 2Gbit LPDDR2 System in Package running up to 500 MHz, the WILC3000 WiFi and Bluetooth module and MCP16502 Power Management IC optimized for the module. The ATSAMA5D27-WLSOM1 is built on a common set of proven Microchip components to reduce time to market by simplifying hardware design and software development. It also simplifies design rules of the main application board, reducing overall PCB complexity and cost. The ATSAMA5D27-WLSOM1 is delivered with a free Linux distribution and bare metal C code examples for RTOS implementation.
