MCIMX6L8DVN10ACR

Overview

The MCIMX6L8DVN10ACR is an i.MX 6SoloLite application 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 integrates Vivante GC355 2D graphics and an EPD controller supporting up to 4096 x 4096 resolution. Memory interfaces support 16/32-bit DDR3-800 and LPDDR2-800. Connectivity includes three USB 2.0 ports, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, four MMC/SDIO ports, five UARTs, and three I2C buses. Operating temperature range is 0°C to +95°C in a 13x13 mm MAPBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrated EPD controller for color and monochrome E Ink displays with high-resolution support
• Hardware-accelerated multimedia processing via NEON MPE and dedicated 2D graphics units
• Advanced security features including ARM TrustZone, HAB v4 boot, and tamper detection
• Integrated power management unit with internal linear regulators and DVFS capabilities

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' against official NXP documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging status, as datasheet tables list standard tray configurations. Ensure compatibility with required PMICs such as MMPF0100 or PF3000. Confirm silicon revision and fuse settings match system security requirements. Validate signal naming conventions if migrating from older schematics.

Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring low-power ePaper display driving alongside general-purpose computing. The integrated EPDC reduces CPU load for page refreshes. Verify memory interface requirements against available DDR3 or LPDDR2 options. Consider the single-core architecture for cost-sensitive designs where multi-threading is not critical. Check GPIO voltage rail configurations for 1.8V or 3.3V compatibility.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP i.MX 6SoloLite family, designed for consumer products needing efficient multimedia performance. It shares the i.MX 6 series architectural foundation but focuses on single-core efficiency. It complements various NXP PMICs and supports extensive peripheral integration for portable devices. The family emphasizes smart speed technology for optimized power consumption across active and low-power modes.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6L8DVN10AB serves as a direct pin-compatible alternative with identical specifications except for potential minor manufacturing lot differences. Both parts share the same 1 GHz core, GPU, and EPDC features within the commercial temperature range.
