Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' corresponds to Rev 1.2 silicon revision and 'C' indicates Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C). Confirm that the ordering part number matches the required data sheet (IMX6DQIEC) for industrial products. Ensure compatibility with the specified 624-FCBGA package dimensions and pinout before integration into the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-core solution with industrial temperature ratings is required. It offers a balance between processing power and power efficiency compared to the Quad variant. Consider the integrated GPU and VPU capabilities if multimedia processing is a primary requirement. Verify that the system design can support the necessary external memory types, such as DDR3 or LPDDR2, as supported by the MMDC controller.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the i.MX 6Dual/6Quad family, which combines scalable platforms with broad integration for multimedia applications. The i.MX 6 series is designed to deliver high performance while optimizing power consumption through dynamic voltage and frequency scaling. This specific model targets industrial environments requiring reliable operation across wide temperature ranges.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6D7CVT08AC: Identical core and speed but different silicon revision (Rev 1.3). MCIMX6D4AVT08AD: Same specifications but Extended Commercial temperature grade (-20°C to +105°C). MCIMX6D4AVT08AE: Same specifications but Silicon Revision E (Rev 1.6).
