MPU and Memory Subsystem 4.1.1 SAMA5D27 System-In-Package The SAMA5D27 System-In-Package (SiP) (ATSAMA5D27C-LD2G-CU) integrates the ARM Cortex-A5 processor- based SAMA5D2 MPU with 2 Gbit LPDDR2-SDRAM in a single package. By combining the high-performance, ultra-low power SAMA5D2 with LPDDR2-SDRAM in a single package, PCB routing complexity, area and number of layers is reduced.
SAMA5D2 processor and on-board components. The PMIC on-board switching regulators generate the 3.3V, 1.20V, 1.25V and 1.8V voltage supplies required by the SAMA5D27 processor and on-board components. The ATSAMA5D27-WLSOM1 delivers external power supplies to the main board application, such as VDD_DDR (1.8V with 900 mA current capability), VDD_3V3 (3.3V with 600mA output current capability) and VLDO2 output...

SAMA5D27 Wireless SOM1 Functional Description The Serial Peripheral Interface is essentially a shift register that serially transmits data bits to other SPI devices. During a data transfer, one SPI system acts as the “host”' which controls the data flow, while the other devices act as “clients'' which have data shifted into and out by the host.
