MCIMX6D7CZK08AE

Overview

The MCIMX6D7CZK08AE is an i.MX 6Dual processor featuring two Arm Cortex-A9 cores operating at 800 MHz. It utilizes a 12 x 12 mm FCPBGA Package on Package (PoP) with a 0.4 mm pitch, designed for industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +105°C). The device integrates 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches per core, a shared 1 MB L2 cache, and NEON SIMD media acceleration. Key multimedia capabilities include hardware-accelerated 1080p video decoding and encoding, alongside three independent graphics processing units: OpenGL ES 3.0 3D, OpenVG 1.1 vector, and 2D bitblit accelerators.

Feature Summary

• Integrated dual-core Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore platform with TrustZone security architecture
• Hardware-accelerated multimedia engine supporting 1080p video decode/encode and multi-standard codecs
• Three autonomous graphics processors for 3D, 2D, and vector graphics rendering
• Comprehensive connectivity including Gigabit Ethernet, SATA II, PCIe, and multiple USB interfaces

Applications

• High-end mobile internet devices (MID)
• Portable navigation devices (PND)
• Gaming consoles
• High-end portable media players with HD video capability

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates Extended Commercial qualification if required, though this part number specifies Industrial grade in the ordering table. Confirm the package type matches the 12x12mm FCPBGA PoP requirement. Ensure compatibility with the IMX6DQCPOPEC datasheet revision. Check for end-of-life status as indicated by distributor metadata. Validate silicon revision against current design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring industrial temperature stability combined with high-performance multimedia processing. The dual-core configuration offers a balance between performance and power efficiency compared to quad-core variants. Ensure the system design supports the LPDDR2-800 memory interface and accommodates the integrated power management requirements. Verify that the available GPIOs and peripheral interfaces meet the specific connectivity needs of the target application.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the NXP i.MX 6 series, specifically the i.MX 6Dual variant within the Consumer - PoP family. It shares architectural similarities with the i.MX 6Quad but features two cores instead of four. The part is distinct from automotive-grade versions which carry different temperature grades and qualification levels. It is designed to replace older single-core or lower-frequency processors in advanced multimedia systems.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6D7CZK08AD is a commercial temperature equivalent. MCIMX6Q7CZK08AE is a quad-core upgrade option.
