MCIMX6S8DVM10AC

Overview

The MCIMX6S8DVM10AC is a single-core application processor from the NXP i.MX 6Solo series, built on the ARM Cortex-A9 architecture. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 1 GHz and utilizes a 32-bit data bus width. The device integrates 512 kB of L2 cache memory and supports various external storage types including DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR2, and PSRAM. It features an industrial operating temperature range from 0°C to +95°C and requires a core supply voltage between 1.25 V and 1.5 V. The component is housed in a 624-ball MAPBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Single-core ARM Cortex-A9 processing capability for efficient execution of complex applications
• Integrated multimedia acceleration with NEON SIMD technology for enhanced performance
• Support for multiple high-speed peripheral interfaces including Ethernet, USB, and display controllers

Applications

• Consumer electronics devices requiring robust processing power
• Industrial control systems needing wide temperature operation
• Smart home appliances with connectivity requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AC against the official NXP datasheet to confirm the commercial temperature grade and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with the required I/O voltages ranging from 1.65 V to 3.6 V. Confirm that the MAPBGA-624 footprint matches your PCB design constraints. Check for any known errata related to the silicon revision before finalizing the design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-core solution is sufficient for the application workload. It offers a balance of performance and power efficiency compared to dual or quad-core variants. Consider the available peripheral interfaces such as CAN, ESAI, and SAI for system integration. Evaluate the memory controller support for DDR3 or LPDDR2 based on bandwidth needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6Solo family, designed for cost-sensitive applications where a single processing core is adequate. It shares architectural similarities with other i.MX 6 series processors but lacks additional cores found in Dual or Quad models. The series targets markets demanding reliable embedded processing with standard connectivity options.

Replacement Considerations

Check the i.MX 6Solo product page for alternative suffixes like AB or AD which may differ in temperature range or packaging. Verify if the MCIMX6S5DVM10AC serves as a functional substitute within the same series.
