The AT32UC3A0512 also feature SRAM/SDRAM external bus interface.
The AT32UC3A devices deliver 80 Dhrystone MIPS (DMIPS) at 66 MHz and consume only 40 mA at 3.3V.

All in a LQFP144 - 20x20 mm package (same as that xilinx breakout board I already have) - 109 - 5v tolerant i/o pins

Actually the AVR32 would make the basis of a very nice co-processor card - the ram interface card could be the first option for it.


Well it's an option
Its about 1x1. I have the dev board. I considered using it for a few things, but Atmel has lied to everyone for so long on when it would be available that I had to use an ARM.

It just seems like a hardware solution is what we need and getting that through a processor seems backwards. We would definitely need a CPLD in addition to the AVR32 any way.
