MCIMX6Q5EZK08AE

Overview

The MCIMX6Q5EZK08AE is an i.MX 6Quad multimedia application processor featuring four Arm Cortex-A9 cores operating at 800 MHz. It utilizes a Package-on-Package (PoP) FCBGA configuration with a 12 mm x 12 mm footprint and 0.4 mm pitch. The device supports Extended Commercial temperature ranges from -20°C to +105°C. Key specifications include 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches per core, a shared 1 MB L2 cache, and integrated hardware accelerators for video processing and graphics.

Feature Summary

• Integrated quad-core Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore platform with TrustZone security
• Hardware-accelerated multimedia capabilities including VPU and dual IPUv3H
• Three independent graphics processing units for 3D, 2D, and vector graphics
• Comprehensive connectivity suite including Gigabit Ethernet, USB, and PCIe

Applications

• High-end mobile internet devices (MID)
• Portable navigation devices (PND)
• Gaming consoles
• High-end portable media players with HD video capability

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' indicates Extended Commercial temperature grade (-20 to +105°C) and 'ZK' denotes the Package-on-Package form factor. Confirm that MLB support is not included in this variant as indicated by the ordering table. Ensure compatibility with LPDDR2-800 memory interfaces specified for this consumer-grade PoP series.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-performance multimedia processing within a compact PoP footprint. It is suitable for designs needing extended commercial temperature operation without industrial grading. Consider the absence of MLB support if automotive bus connectivity is required. Verify system power management requirements align with the integrated PMU features.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Applications Processors Consumer - PoP family. It shares architectural similarities with other i.MX 6Quad variants but is distinct in its package type and temperature rating. The datasheet IMX6DQCPOPEC specifically covers parts with 'D' or 'E' temperature grades utilizing the Package-on-Package format.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6Q5EZK08AD is a compatible alternative within the same package and speed grade, differing only in qualification level.
