Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now stocking the PIC64GX microprocessor (MPU) from Microchip Technology. The PIC64GX MPU is a 64-bit Linux® Operating System (OS)-capable processor that provides an innovative, mid-range, embedded compute platform based on the RISC-V® instruction set architecture (ISA) for industrial, aerospace, automotive, defense, communications and IoT applications.
The Microchip Technology PIC64GX MPUs, available from Mouser, bring micro-architecture implementation in a simple, five-stage, single-issue ordered pipeline that is invulnerable to Meltdown and Spectre anomalies that frequent common, out-of-order machines. The PIC64GX has five RISC-V cores supporting the memory subsystem, allowing a versatile mix of deterministic real-time and Linux functions in a single, multi-core processor cluster. With integrated secure boot, Linux and real-time modes, a large and flexible L2 memory subsystem and a rich set of embedded peripherals, the PIC64GX MPU provides new choices for developing secure and power-efficient embedded compute platforms.
The Microchip Technology PIC64GX1000 MPUs include integrated 128KB non-volatile memory (eNVM) for boot, platform interrupt controller, and integrated dual physically unclonable function (PUF). The PIC64GX family boasts pin compatibility with Microchip’s PolarFire® SoC FPGA and an easy-to-use ecosystem of tools and supporting software, including a host of powerful processes to help configure, develop, debug and qualify embedded designs.
Also available to order from Mouser is the Microchip Technology PIC64GX1000 Curiosity kit. The PIC64GX1000 Curiosity kit is a complete demonstration platform that enables the user to evaluate the capabilities and performance of the PIC64GX microprocessors. This kit includes a curiosity kit board with a PIC64GX device and a 32GB SanDisk ultra-microSD™ UHS-I card. The kit supports a wide range of interfaces, including DDR4, SGMII, USB-UART, mikroBUS™, and HDMI.
