MCIMX6QP5EYM1AB

Overview

The MCIMX6QP5EYM1AB is an i.MX 6QuadPlus application processor from NXP Semiconductors, designed for graphics-intensive consumer applications. It features four Arm Cortex-A9 cores operating at 1 GHz with NEON MPE co-processors and a 1 MB unified L2 cache. The device integrates advanced multimedia capabilities including a Video Processing Unit (VPU), dual Image Processing Units (IPUv3H), and three independent graphics processing units: OpenGL ES 3.0 3D GPU, 2D GPU, and OpenVG accelerator. It supports up to four parallel displays via HDMI 1.4, LVDS, MIPI DSI, or parallel interfaces, along with MIPI CSI-2 camera inputs. Memory support includes DDR3, DDR3L, and LPDDR2 via a 64-bit interface. The processor operates within an extended commercial temperature range of -20°C to +105°C and is housed in a 21x21 mm FCPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against the official NXP ordering information table to confirm core count, frequency grade, temperature rating, and package type. Ensure compatibility with the IMX6DQPCEC datasheet for consumer products. Confirm that the required silicon revision and fuse options match system security and boot configuration requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-performance graphics acceleration and multi-display output within the i.MX 6 series family. Consider the 1 GHz clock speed and integrated power management features for optimizing performance-per-watt in mobile or embedded consumer devices. Evaluate memory interface requirements for DDR3/LPDDR2 support and verify peripheral availability for target system integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6DualPlus/6QuadPlus family of applications processors targeting consumer products. It shares architectural similarities with DualPlus variants but offers four CPU cores instead of two. The 'QP' designation indicates QuadPlus, while '5E' specifies the 1 GHz frequency grade and extended commercial temperature range. The 'YM' suffix denotes the non-lidded FCPBGA package type.
