The NuMicro® MA35D1 series is a heterogeneous multi-core microprocessor targeted at high-end edge IIoT gateways. It is based on dual 64-bit Arm® Cortex®-A35 cores with speeds up to 800 MHz, and one 180 MHz Arm® Cortex®-M4 core. Based on the high-performance cores, the MA35D1 series facilitates the tiny AI/ML for edge computing.

The MA35D1 series has a built-in 128 KB IBR (Internal Boot ROM) and supports secure booting from USB, SD/eMMC, NAND, and SPI Flash (SPI NOR/SPI NAND) modes. The MA35D1 series supports 16-bit DDR2 and DDR3/ DDR3L SDRAM. For an easy system design and manufacture, the MA35D1 series also offers LQFP and BGA packages stacked with the DDR2/DDR3L SDRAM and density up to 512 MB to significantly reduce PCB layer, size and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The MA35D1 series offers LQFP and BGA packages for wide variant applications.

White Part Number: Products have been officially released.
Black Part Number: NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs).
*Products planned for release in Q4 2026.

The MA35D1 series is a trusted system for IoT products' security requirements. It includes several advanced security mechanisms such as Nuvoton Trusted Secure Island (TSI), an isolated secure hardware unit, Arm® TrustZone®, secure boot, tamper-detection, built-in cryptographic accelerators with AES, SHA, ECC, RSA, SM2/3/4, and a TRNG, as well as Key Store and OTP memory. All the security operations are performed in the TSI to protect sensitive and high-value data. The features also satisfy customers in IEC 62443 certification requirements. For high-end edge IIoT gateway requirements, the MA35D1 series integrates PDMA to increase system performance. The PDMA can access system memory directly without the intervention of the CPU. Also, the MA35D1 series provides multiple advanced and high-speed connection interfaces, such as Gigabit Ethernet, SDIO 3.0, USB 2.0 HS, and CAN FD, for edge gateway and new energy applications.

For HMI applications, the MA35D1 series provides a LCD display controller with the resolution up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 FPS, a 2D graphic engine, a JPEG and a H.264 decoder integrated for better graphical HMI effects and video playback.
