MCIMX6Q4AVT08AD

Overview

The MCIMX6Q4AVT08AD is an i.MX 6Quad automotive-grade multimedia application processor featuring four Arm Cortex-A9 cores operating at 852 MHz. It includes a Vivante GC2000 3D GPU and a 1 MB L2 cache but excludes the Video Processing Unit (VPU). The device utilizes a 21 x 21 mm, 0.8 mm pitch FCBGA package with a lid. It supports DDR3, DDR3L, and LPDDR2 memory interfaces and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Automotive-grade reliability with extended temperature support up to +125°C
• Integrated 3D graphics acceleration via Vivante GC2000 GPU
• Multimedia processing capabilities including NEON MPE co-processor
• Hardware security features including TrustZone and Advanced High Assurance Boot

Applications

• Automotive navigation and entertainment systems
• Telematics units
• Human Machine Interface (HMI) displays
• Display-based instrument clusters

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required silicon revision and fusing configuration for your design. Confirm compatibility with the intended power management IC and external memory types. Ensure the PCB layout adheres to the thermal and signal integrity guidelines specified in the datasheet for the FCPBGA package.

Selection Notes

Select this component when automotive certification and high-temperature operation are required alongside 3D graphics performance. Note that this variant lacks the VPU found in other i.MX 6Quad models; choose a different part if hardware video decoding is necessary. Verify that the 852 MHz clock speed meets the processing requirements for the target application.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the NXP i.MX 6Dual/6Quad family designed for automotive and infotainment markets. It shares the same core architecture as consumer and industrial variants but is qualified for harsher environmental conditions. The '4' in the model number indicates the absence of the VPU, distinguishing it from '6' series parts which include video processing capabilities.

Replacement Considerations
