MCHPPIC64GX1000-V/FCS
Overview
The PIC64GX1000 is a high-performance 64-bit Linux-capable microprocessor based on a quad-core RISC-V RV64GC architecture. It features a unique 5-core asymmetric configuration including a monitor core, integrated secure boot, and a rich set of high-speed interfaces like PCIe Gen2 and MIPI CSI-2. This MPU is designed for secure, power-efficient intelligent edge applications that require hardware-level security and reliable real-time performance.
Why Choose This Part
This MPU provides a coherent CPU bus matrix and SECDED protection on all internal memories and the DDR4/LPDDR4 controller, ensuring data integrity for critical missions. The inclusion of a dedicated RV64IMAC monitor core allows for deterministic real-time tasks to run alongside a standard Linux distribution on the quad-core application cluster. Its 11x11mm FCSG package offers high density for space-constrained designs while supporting high-speed PCIe Gen2 and dual Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers can begin development using Microchip's SoftConsole IDE which supports RISC-V C/C++ development and debugging. For hardware evaluation, look for the PolarFire SoC or PIC64GX Video Kit which provides access to the HDMI, MIPI, and PCIe interfaces. Linux builds can be managed via the Yocto Project or Buildroot to generate custom distributions optimized for the RV64GC architecture.
