MCIMX6S5DVM10ADR

Overview

The MCIMX6S5DVM10ADR is a single-core i.MX 6Solo application processor featuring an ARM Cortex-A9 core operating at 1 GHz. It utilizes a 32-bit DDR memory interface and is housed in a 624-ball MAPBGA package measuring 21x21 mm with a 0.8 mm pitch. The device supports commercial temperature ranges from 0°C to +95°C. Key integrated peripherals include a Video Processing Unit (VPU), 3D/2D Graphics Processing Units (GPU), and MediaLB (MLB). It lacks the Electrophoretic Display Controller (EPDC) found in other variants.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a single ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore platform with TrustZone security support.
• Includes dedicated hardware accelerators for video processing, 3D graphics, and pixel pipeline operations.
• Supports multiple display interfaces including HDMI 1.4, MIPI DSI, LVDS, and parallel displays.
• Features advanced security mechanisms such as CAAM, A-HAB, and secure boot capabilities.

Applications

• Web and multimedia tablets
• Color eReaders
• IP TV systems
• Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)
• Portable medical devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ADR' against official NXP documentation to confirm mass production status and silicon revision level. Ensure compatibility with the IMX6SDLCEC datasheet requirements for commercial temperature grades. Confirm that the absence of EPDC aligns with target display specifications. Cross-reference ordering information tables for exact availability and lead times directly from manufacturer channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-core solution with high-performance multimedia acceleration is required. It is suitable for applications needing robust graphics and video processing without the power overhead of dual-core architectures. Consider the lack of EPDC if electronic ink displays are not part of the design. Evaluate the extensive peripheral set including USB, Ethernet, and MMC/SD interfaces for system integration needs.
