MCIMX6D6AVT08AE

Overview

The MCIMX6D6AVT08AE is an i.MX 6Dual automotive-grade processor featuring two ARM Cortex-A9 cores operating at 852 MHz. It utilizes a 21 x 21 mm FCPBGA package with a 0.8 mm pitch. The device includes integrated VPU and GPU hardware accelerators, supporting DDR3, DDR3L, and LPDDR2 memory interfaces. Designed for extended temperature ranges from -40°C to +125°C, it incorporates advanced security features including TrustZone and HAB v4.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade qualification with extended temperature range support up to +125°C
• Integrated multimedia acceleration via dedicated Video Processing Unit (VPU) and Graphics Processing Units (GPU)
• Hardware-based security implementation including Arm TrustZone and Advanced High Assurance Boot (HAB v4)

Applications

• Automotive navigation and entertainment systems
• Telematics units
• Human Machine Interface (HMI) graphics rendering
• Display-based instrument clusters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AE' corresponds to the Automotive grade (-40°C to +125°C) and Rev 1.6 silicon revision as defined in the NXP part number nomenclature. Confirm that the required data sheet is IMX6DQAEC, which governs parts with the 'A' temperature grade indicator. Ensure compatibility with the specified FCPBGA-624 package dimensions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-core processing combined with hardware video and graphics acceleration is required for automotive environments. The inclusion of both VPU and GPU distinguishes it from variants lacking the VPU. Verify system power requirements against the integrated LDO specifications and ensure the design supports the necessary DDR3/LPDDR2 memory interface configurations.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the i.MX 6Dual/6Quad family designed for multimedia applications. The 'D' in the model indicates the Dual-core configuration, while '6' denotes the inclusion of both VPU and GPU modules. The 'AE' suffix specifies the Automotive temperature grade and the specific silicon revision level, differentiating it from Industrial or Consumer grade counterparts.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6D6AVT08AD: Identical functional specifications but packaged in trays instead of reels.
