Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VK' indicates the 9x9 mm BGA package with 0.5 mm pitch. Confirm the 'G3' designation corresponds to the full peripheral set including dual Ethernet and dual CAN controllers. Ensure compatibility with the commercial temperature range of 0 to +95 °C. Cross-reference the silicon revision 'A' with current documentation for any errata or maskset updates before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, single-core solution is required for consumer applications. The G3 variant provides the maximum peripheral count within the 6UL family, including dual Ethernet and dual CAN interfaces. Consider the integrated power management module to simplify external power supply design. Evaluate the 9x9 mm package size against board space constraints compared to the larger 14x14 mm alternative.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6UltraLite family, designed for low-power consumer electronics. It shares architectural similarities with the i.MX 6ULL but offers distinct peripheral configurations and performance levels. The G3 derivative represents a high-feature subset of the series, targeting applications requiring robust connectivity without the complexity of multi-core processors.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6G3DVM05AA: Identical functional specifications but utilizes the larger 14x14 mm BGA package with 0.8 mm pitch instead of the 9x9 mm footprint.
