MCIMX253DVM4

Microprocessors Overview

The MCIMX253DVM4 is an i.MX25 multimedia applications processor featuring an ARM926EJ-S core operating at 400 MHz. It utilizes a 17x17 mm, 0.8 mm pitch MAPBGA-400 package and supports a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. The device integrates 128 KB on-chip SRAM, a 16 KB L1 instruction/data cache system, and an LCD controller with alpha blending. Connectivity includes a Fast Ethernet MAC (FEC), two USB PHYs (HS OTG and FS Host), and interfaces for MobileDDR, DDR, DDR2, NOR Flash, PSRAM, SDRAM, SRAM, NAND Flash, and managed NAND.

Microprocessors Feature Summary

• Advanced power management enabling minimum system power consumption in active and various low-power modes.
• Multimedia performance boosted by a 16 KB L1 instruction and data cache system, LCD controller, CMOS image sensor interface, A/D controller, and programmable Smart DMA.
• Hardware-enabled security features supporting secure e-commerce, Digital Rights Management, information encryption, tamper detection, secure boot, and secure software downloads.

Microprocessors Applications

• Graphical remote controls
• Human Machine Interface (HMI)
• Residential and commercial control panels
• Residential gateway (smart metering)
• Handheld scanners and printers

Microprocessors Procurement Notes

Verify the silicon version and projected temperature range against specific application requirements before procurement. Confirm that the MAPBGA-400 package dimensions and pin assignments align with the target PCB layout. Ensure all supply voltages and timing parameters meet the absolute maximum ratings defined in the electrical characteristics section of the datasheet.

Microprocessors Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of high performance, low power, and integration is required for industrial and general embedded markets. The inclusion of 128 KB on-chip SRAM makes it suitable for eliminating external RAM in small footprint RTOS applications. Verify compatibility with required external memory types such as MobileDDR, DDR, or DDR2.

Microprocessors Part Context

The MCIMX253DVM4 belongs to the i.MX25 family of processors designed for consumer and industrial products. It shares the same core architecture and package options as other variants like the MCIMX257DVM4, but differs in functional peripherals. This specific part number represents the standard industrial temperature grade variant within the MAPBGA-400 package lineup.
