MCIMX6L8DVN10AB

Overview

The MCIMX6L8DVN10AB is an i.MX 6SoloLite multimedia applications processor featuring a single ARM Cortex-A9 core operating at 1.0 GHz with 256 KB L2 cache and NEON SIMD support. It integrates Vivante GC355 2D GPU, EPDC controller for E Ink displays up to 4096x4096 resolution, and DDR3-800/LPDDR2-800 memory interfaces. Connectivity includes three USB 2.0 ports, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, four MMC/SDIO ports, five UARTs, and four SPI controllers. The device operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +95°C and utilizes a 432-ball MAPBGA package measuring 13x13 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrated EPD controller supporting high-resolution color and monochrome E Ink panels
• Hardware-accelerated 2D graphics processing via Vivante GC355 GPU
• Advanced security features including ARM TrustZone, Secure Boot, and tamper detection
• Integrated power management unit with internal linear regulators

Applications

• Color and monochrome eReaders
• Entry-level tablets
• Barcode scanners

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision and fuse configuration against project requirements before procurement. Confirm that the ordering suffix corresponds to the desired feature set, as some variants lack GPU or EPDC capabilities. Ensure compatibility with the required PMIC for system power sequencing. Check datasheet errata for any known hardware limitations affecting the intended application.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a single-core solution with integrated electronic paper display support is required. It is suitable for applications prioritizing low power consumption and cost efficiency over high-performance 3D graphics. Compare against variants without GPU or EPDC if those features are unnecessary. Ensure the design supports the 13x13 mm BGA footprint and associated thermal requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP i.MX 6SoloLite family, designed for consumer electronics requiring efficient multimedia processing. It shares architectural similarities with other i.MX 6 series processors but offers a reduced peripheral count and single-core configuration optimized for specific market segments like e-readers and basic tablets.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6L8DVN10AC is a pin-compatible alternative with identical specifications but potentially different packaging or traceability markings.
