MCIMX6G2AVM07AB

Overview

The MCIMX6G2AVM07AB is an automotive-grade application processor from the NXP i.MX 6UltraLite family. It features a single ARM Cortex-A7 core operating at 696 MHz with 128 KB L2 cache. The device is housed in a 14x14 mm MAPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch and supports junction temperatures from -40 °C to +125 °C. Key peripherals include two Ethernet ports, two CAN interfaces, two USB OTG controllers, LCD and CSI interfaces, Quad SPI, and advanced security modules such as CAAM and HAB.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability with extended temperature range support
• Integrated hardware security accelerators for secure boot and encryption
• Multimedia capabilities including parallel display and camera interfaces
• Comprehensive connectivity suite with dual Ethernet and CAN buses

Applications

• Automotive telematics systems
• Vehicle human-machine interfaces (HMI)
• Digital instrument clusters
• In-vehicle infotainment displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' confirms the Automotive temperature grade (-40 °C to +125 °C) and 'VM' indicates the 14x14 mm BGA package. Confirm that the '07' designation matches the required 696 MHz frequency. Ensure compatibility with the IMX6ULAEC datasheet for electrical characteristics and pin assignments before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part when automotive environmental robustness is required alongside multimedia processing. The G2 variant provides dual Ethernet and dual CAN channels, unlike lower-tier G1 models. Verify that the 128 KB eFuse bits meet security configuration needs. Consider the integrated PMU to simplify external power supply design compared to non-integrated solutions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 6UltraLite Automotive Applications Processors family. It shares the same core architecture as commercial variants but is qualified for harsh automotive environments. The 'G2' designation distinguishes it from G1 parts by offering enhanced peripheral counts, specifically additional Ethernet and CAN controllers suitable for complex vehicle networks.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6G2AVM05AB offers the same package and core but operates at 528 MHz. MCIMX6G1AVM07AB provides the 696 MHz frequency but lacks the second Ethernet and CAN controller found in the G2 series.
