Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '8' indicates the 852 MHz speed grade and 'A' denotes the automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). Confirm the 'V' package type corresponds to the lidded FCPBGA variant if required by your thermal design. Ensure compatibility with the IMX6DQPAEC automotive datasheet rather than the consumer version.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-core performance is sufficient but higher graphics throughput is needed compared to standard i.MX 6Dual models. The 852 MHz frequency offers a balance between power consumption and processing capability. Verify that the system design accommodates the specific voltage requirements and the integrated power management unit architecture defined in the reference manual.

Part Context
