Microprocessor for industrial HMI applications

Nuvoton has released the NuMicro MA35H0 series, a high-performance microprocessor for industrial HMI applications. As well as general control and user interface applications, this MPU is excellent for many sophisticated tasks across industrial and commercial applications – in fields as diverse as industrial HMI, factory automation, smart buildings, smart homes, smart appliances, smart medical services, and new energy.

The series is built around dual power-efficient 64/32-bit Cortex-A35 cores based on the Armv8-A architecture, running at up to 650MHz, with 32KB of L1 cache for each core, and 512KB of shared L2 cache. There is no need for external memory as 128MB of DDR SDRAM is stacked inside the 24mm2 LQFP216 package (part number MA35H04F764C), saving space and lowering EMI and cost.

This MPU supports Arm TrustZone secure boot and other security features to safeguard valuable code and data. It also features high-performance hardware FPU that enhances its DSP capabilities. The MPUs are ideal for harsh environments thanks to their industrial-grade internal operating temperature range (Tj) of -40C to 125C.

Highlighting the strong visual nature of modern user interfaces, this MPU includes the Arm NEON Advanced Single Instruction Multiple Data engine, dramatically enhancing media encoding/decoding, UI, and 2D graphics performance. It has built-in 2D graphics and video decoder, with smooth, crisp 60fps 1280x800 LCD output support. Powerful on-chip security support and a wide choice of high-speed connectivity options make the series an excellent choice as the heart of a responsive, attractive, and secure user interface for almost any device.
