MCIMX6S4AVM08ACR

Overview

The MCIMX6S4AVM08ACR is a 32-bit microprocessor from the i.MX 6Solo series by NXP Semiconductors. It features a single ARM Cortex-A9 core operating at 800 MHz and includes an integrated GPU. The device utilizes a MAPBGA package with dimensions of 21 x 21 mm and a 0.8 mm pitch, containing 625 contacts. It supports DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR2, and PSRAM memory types. The processor operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and complies with AEC-Q100 automotive standards.

Feature Summary

• Integrated multimedia processing capabilities including hardware video codec and image processing unit
• Advanced security features enabling secure boot and digital rights management
• Flexible interface support for displays, cameras, and high-speed connectivity
• Optimized power consumption through dynamic voltage and frequency scaling

Applications

• Automotive infotainment systems
• Human machine interfaces (HMI)
• Portable medical devices
• Home energy management systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required silicon revision and temperature grade. Confirm that the MAPBGA-625 package footprint aligns with the PCB design. Ensure compatibility with the intended external memory configuration, as supported types vary by specific SKU. Check for any specific fusing options or HDCP requirements if applicable to the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-core solution with automotive qualification is required. It offers a balance of performance and cost for applications not needing dual-core processing. Consider the integrated peripherals such as CAN and Ethernet when designing the system architecture. Evaluate the power management features against the thermal constraints of the enclosure.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite family, designed for consumer and automotive applications. It shares architectural similarities with other members of the i.MX 6 series but is optimized for lower power and cost. The Solo variant specifically targets single-core workloads, distinguishing it from the DualLite models which feature two cores.
