Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' indicates mass production status and silicon revision A. Confirm the 'C' designation aligns with the Industrial Temperature Grade (-40°C to +105°C) requirements for your target environment. Ensure compatibility with the IMX6ULIEC datasheet specifications during integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, low-power single-core solution is required for industrial applications. It is suitable for designs needing integrated Ethernet, USB OTG, and display interfaces without the complexity of multi-core architectures. Verify peripheral availability against Table 2 in the datasheet as some interfaces are derivative-specific.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6UltraLite series, designed for ultra-efficient processing. It shares the same core architecture with variants offering higher frequencies or different package sizes. The 'G1' designation typically denotes specific peripheral configurations within the G-series lineup, distinguishing it from G2 or G3 derivatives which may include additional Ethernet or camera interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6G1CVM05AB: Identical electrical characteristics but potentially different packaging or qualification level.

FAQ

Does the MCIMX6G1CVM05AA support dual Ethernet controllers?

No, according to Table 2 in the datasheet, the G1 derivative only provides one Ethernet controller (ENET1). Dual Ethernet (ENET1 and ENET2) is available on G2 and G3 derivatives.

What is the maximum operating frequency of the CPU core?

The ARM Cortex-A7 core operates at a maximum frequency of 528 MHz for this specific part number.
