MCIMX6G2CVM05AA

Overview

The MCIMX6G2CVM05AA is an industrial-grade microprocessor from the NXP i.MX 6UltraLite family. It features a single ARM Cortex-A7 core operating at 528 MHz, housed in a 14x14 mm MAPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch. The device supports LPDDR2, DDR3, and DDR3L memory interfaces. Key peripherals include two USB OTG controllers with PHYs, two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MACs, two FlexCAN ports, eight UARTs, four I2C buses, four SPI controllers, and two ADC modules.

Feature Summary

• Industrial temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) for robust operation
• Integrated hardware security accelerators including CAAM and A-HAB
• Multimedia processing capabilities via NEON MPE and PXP
• Flexible connectivity supporting multiple display and camera interfaces

Applications

• Electronics Point-of-Sale devices
• Telematics systems
• IoT Gateways
• Access control panels
• Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C' confirms the industrial junction temperature grade of -40°C to +105°C. Confirm the 'VM' suffix indicates the 14x14 mm BGA package. Ensure compatibility with required external memory types such as LPDDR2 or DDR3. Check for any specific silicon revision requirements if using advanced security features like A-HAB.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring industrial reliability and secure boot capabilities. The G2 variant provides dual Ethernet and dual CAN interfaces compared to lower-tier models. Consider the 14x14mm footprint for board space constraints. Verify power supply requirements for the integrated LDOs and external memory interfaces.

Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 6UltraLite series, designed for low-power, cost-sensitive industrial applications. It shares architectural similarities with the i.MX 6UL but offers specific peripheral configurations. The 'G2' designation typically denotes enhanced connectivity options such as additional Ethernet and CAN controllers compared to the base G1 model.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6G2CVM05AB: Same electrical specifications but potentially different mass production status or minor revision differences.
