MCIMX6G3CVM05AA

Microprocessors Overview

The MCIMX6G3CVM05AA is an industrial-grade microprocessor from the NXP i.MX 6UltraLite family. It features a single ARM Cortex-A7 core operating at 528 MHz with a 128 KB L2 cache and 32 KB each of L1 instruction and data caches. The device is housed in a 14x14 mm MAPBGA package with a 0.8 mm pitch, supporting junction temperatures from -40°C to +105°C. It integrates hardware security modules including CAAM, HAB, and TrustZone, alongside multimedia accelerators like PXP and NEON.

Microprocessors Feature Summary

• Industrial temperature range support for robust operation in demanding environments
• Integrated hardware security features including Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM) and Advanced High Assurance Boot (HAB)
• Multimedia processing capabilities enhanced by Pixel Processing Pipeline (PXP) and NEON Media Processing Engine

Microprocessors Applications

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

Microprocessors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' indicates standard security configuration and silicon revision A. Confirm the 'C' designation aligns with the Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +105°C). Ensure compatibility with the IMX6ULIEC datasheet for electrical characteristics and pin assignments. Cross-reference ordering information tables to validate peripheral availability against system requirements.

Microprocessors Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring industrial reliability and secure boot capabilities. The G3 variant offers expanded peripherals compared to lower-tier derivatives, including dual Ethernet controllers and dual CAN interfaces. Evaluate power management needs as the device integrates internal LDOs but requires external memory interfaces for DDR3/LPDDR2. Consider the 289-ball BGA package constraints during PCB layout.

Microprocessors Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 6UltraLite series, designed for cost-effective, low-power industrial applications. It shares architectural similarities with other G-series parts but differs in peripheral count and security fuse options. The 'VM' suffix denotes the 14x14 mm MAPBGA package type, distinguishing it from the smaller VK package variants within the same product line.

Microprocessors Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6G3CVM05AB serves as a direct functional substitute with identical specifications except for potential packaging or qualification differences. MCIMX6G2CVM05AA offers similar performance but may have reduced peripheral availability; verify interface counts before substitution.
