Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision indicated by the ordering suffix against current production documentation. Confirm that the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +105°C) aligns with system environmental requirements. Ensure compatibility with the required external memory types, such as DDR3 or LPDDR2, before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a single-core ARM Cortex-A9 solution with robust industrial reliability. It is suitable for designs needing integrated multimedia acceleration and advanced security features without the complexity of multi-core architectures. Consider the available peripheral interfaces when designing the system board layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6Solo family, designed specifically for industrial products. It shares architectural similarities with the DualLite variant but offers a single-core configuration. The 'C' in the model number denotes the industrial temperature grade, distinguishing it from commercial or automotive versions within the broader i.MX 6 series portfolio.
