Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AB' against official NXP documentation to confirm package details and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the design utilizes the correct data sheet (IMX6DQPCEC) for extended commercial temperature grade parts. Cross-reference the ordering information table in the datasheet to validate pin compatibility and silicon revision requirements for your specific application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-core performance is sufficient for the target application, offering a cost-effective alternative to the QuadPlus variant. It is suitable for designs requiring advanced 3D graphics and multimedia capabilities without the power consumption of four cores. Consider the integrated power management unit and DVFS support for optimizing system efficiency in battery-operated or thermally constrained environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6DualPlus/QuadPlus family, which provides enhanced graphics and memory performance compared to earlier i.MX 6 models. It shares pin compatibility with a broad range of i.MX 6 processors, facilitating migration strategies. The DualPlus variant specifically targets applications needing balanced CPU and GPU performance for consumer multimedia products.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA is a compatible alternative within the same series, differing primarily in qualification level or packaging configuration. Both parts share identical core specifications and functionality. Verify that any substitute maintains the required extended commercial temperature rating and FCPBGA package dimensions for mechanical fit.
