MCIMX6L2EVN10ABR

Overview

The MCIMX6L2EVN10ABR is an i.MX 6SoloLite applications processor featuring a single ARM Cortex-A9 core operating at 1 GHz. It includes 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, 256 KB L2 cache, and NEON SIMD media acceleration. The device lacks integrated GPU and EPD controllers. It supports 16/32-bit DDR3-800 and LPDDR2-800 memory interfaces. Connectivity includes three USB 2.0 ports (one HS OTG with PHY, one Host with PHY, one Host HSIC), 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, four MMC/SDIO ports, four SPI, five UARTs, and three I2C interfaces. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +105°C in a 13x13 mm BGA package.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision and fuse configuration against project requirements before procurement. Confirm that the absence of GPU and EPD hardware accelerators aligns with the target application's rendering needs. Ensure compatibility with the required external memory type and speed grade. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or end-of-life notices associated with this specific ordering suffix.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a single-core Cortex-A9 solution is sufficient for the workload. Choose this variant over GPU-equipped models if graphics performance is not critical and cost reduction is prioritized. Consider the extended commercial temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) for harsh environments. Verify that the available interface count meets system connectivity requirements without needing additional bridge chips.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP i.MX 6SoloLite family, designed for low-power consumer and industrial applications. It shares architectural similarities with other i.MX 6 series processors but offers a simplified feature set optimized for cost-sensitive markets. The SoloLite line focuses on essential multimedia processing and connectivity without high-end graphics capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6L2DVN10ABR: Identical specifications except for commercial temperature range (0°C to +95°C). MCIMX6L3EVN10ABR: Includes 2D GPU hardware acceleration while maintaining the same CPU and temperature range.
