Microprocessors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required silicon revision level. Confirm the package type corresponds to Case 1931 specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended operating temperature range. Check for any import restrictions or trade compliance requirements associated with BGA-packaged products in the target region prior to procurement.

Microprocessors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-performance ARM11-based processor is required for multimedia tasks without the need for a dedicated GPU. Consider the integrated VFP unit for complex calculations. Evaluate the extensive peripheral inventory for connectivity needs. Verify that the 90 nm technology node meets the system's power and performance constraints.

Microprocessors Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 31 series of multimedia applications processors designed for industrial and automotive markets. It shares the same core architecture and peripheral set as the MCIMX31C but excludes the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). The series emphasizes low-power consumption through advanced power-saving techniques while maintaining high processing performance.
