SAMA7D65 Audio Mixer HMI Reference Design

Built on Microchip’s 1 GHz SAMA7D65 MPU, the Audio Mixer HMI Reference Design, couples a bright 10-inch LVDS capacitive touchscreen—driven by the ATMXT1066TD maXTouch^® controller—for precise, low-latency fader moves and metering with a royalty-free Microchip Graphics Suite (MGS) interface you can brand and ship without licensing fees. The bare-metal MPLAB^® Harmony stack delivers fast boot and a lean memory footprint, while the same MGS project can be re-targeted to embedded Linux^® when you need plug-in frameworks, DAW integration, or containerized services. Audio I/O is mixer-ready: 3× I²S, PDM mic input, SPDIF, and 4× stereo ASRCs for clean sample-rate conversion across busses. Dual Gigabit Ethernet with AVB/IEEE^® 1588/TSN enables networked audio and precise clocking, alongside USB, SPI, I3C^®, up to 5× CAN FD, SD/eMMC, and flexible serial ports for stageboxes, motor-fader banks, and control surfaces—no external gateway PC required. Arm^® TrustZone^® technology, hardware crypto, OTP key storage, and on-the-fly memory encryption secure presets and firmware, and the compact 14 × 14 mm BGA343 package supports cost-effective 4-layer PCB designs. The SAMA7D65 Audio Mixer HMI accelerates development of live, studio, and installed-AV consoles—delivering a fast, low-risk path from concept to production-ready mixing surfaces.

SAMA7D65 Hotel Check-In/Out Kiosk HMI Reference Design

Powered by Microchip’s 1 GHz SAMA7D65 MPU, the Hotel Check-In Kiosk HMI Reference Design, pairs a bright 10-inch LVDS capacitive touchscreen—driven by the ATMXT1066TD maXTouch^® controller for precise, low-latency input—with the royalty-free Microchip Graphics Suite (MGS) to deliver a polished, brand-ready self-service lobby experience including ID/passport and barcode scanning, digital signatures, upgrades/upsells, payment, and instant keycard encoding. The bare-metal MPLAB^® Harmony stack boots in seconds with a lean memory footprint, and the same MGS project can be re-targeted to embedded Linux when cloud agents or containerized services are required. Dual Gigabit Ethernet plus abundant USB, SPI, I3C^®, and up to 5× CAN FD connect directly to PMS/POS backends, payment pads, RFID/NFC door-lock encoders, receipt printers, cameras, and building-automation links—eliminating the need for an external gateway PC. Security features, including Arm^® TrustZone^®, hardware crypto, OTP key storage, and on-the-fly memory encryption, help protect guest data and OTA updates, while the compact 14 × 14 mm BGA supports cost-effective manufacturing from pilot to fleet deployment.
