MCIMX6Q7CVT08AE

Overview

The MCIMX6Q7CVT08AE is an i.MX 6Quad processor featuring four Arm Cortex-A9 cores operating at 800 MHz. It utilizes a Package-on-Package (PoP) configuration with an FCPBGA footprint measuring 12 mm by 12 mm and a 0.4 mm pitch. The device includes 1 MB of unified L2 cache, 32 KB instruction and data caches per core, and supports LPDDR2-800 memory interfaces. Designed for extended commercial temperature ranges (-20°C to +105°C), it integrates hardware accelerators for multimedia processing.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four symmetric Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore processors with NEON MPE co-processors
• Includes dedicated hardware accelerators for 3D graphics, 2D graphics, and video processing
• Features advanced security mechanisms including TrustZone, CAAM, and Advanced High Assurance Boot
• Supports extensive peripheral connectivity including Gigabit Ethernet, USB, PCIe, and multiple display interfaces

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm silicon revision and package type. Ensure compatibility with the Consumer - PoP datasheet (IMX6DQCPOPEC) as this part belongs to that series. Confirm temperature grade requirements match the extended commercial specification before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad-core ARM architecture with high multimedia performance is required in a compact form factor. The PoP design reduces board space compared to standard BGA packages. Consider the integrated power management and DVFS capabilities for applications requiring optimized energy efficiency during active and low-power modes.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the NXP i.MX 6Dual/6Quad family, which provides scalable multi-core solutions based on the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture. The i.MX 6 series is designed for multimedia-focused applications, offering pin and software compatibility across single, dual, and quad-core variants to facilitate product line expansion using a single hardware design.
