Introduction
The SAM9X60 is a high-performance, ultra-low power ARM926EJ-S CPU-based embedded microprocessor (MPU)
running up to 600 MHz, with support for multiple memories such as SDRAM, LP-SDRAM, LPDDR, DDR2, and QSPI
and e.MMC Flash. The device integrates powerful peripherals for connectivity and user interface applications, and
offers security functions (tamper detection, secure boot program, secure key storage, etc.), TRNG, as well as high-
performance crypto accelerators for AES and SHA.
