MCIMX6U4AVM08AC

Overview

The MCIMX6U4AVM08AC is an i.MX 6DualLite automotive and infotainment applications processor manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. It features a dual-core Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore architecture operating at a maximum frequency of 800 MHz. The device integrates a 512 KB unified L2 cache, NEON MPE co-processor, and dedicated hardware accelerators including a 3D graphics accelerator (OpenGL ES 2.0), 2D graphics accelerator, and video processing unit. It supports DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 memory interfaces and includes automotive-specific connectivity such as MLB and dual CAN ports.

Feature Summary

• Dual-core Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore platform with TrustZone security
• Integrated multimedia accelerators for video decoding and graphics rendering
• Automotive-grade qualification with extended temperature range support
• Comprehensive peripheral interface set including Gigabit Ethernet and multiple display outputs

Applications

• Automotive navigation and entertainment systems
• Human Machine Interface (HMI) graphics rendering
• Telematics units
• Display-based instrument clusters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision and fusing options against the ordering information table in the IMX6SDLAEC datasheet. Confirm that the MAPBGA package dimensions and pinout match the target PCB design. Ensure compatibility with the required automotive temperature grade and check for any errata related to the specific silicon revision before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-core ARM solution with integrated automotive media links is required. Compare against Solo variants if single-core performance suffices, or Dual/Quad variants if higher processing power is needed. Verify that the absence of the Video Processing Unit in this specific SKU aligns with the application's video decoding requirements, as other SKUs in the series may include VPU functionality.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite family designed for automotive and infotainment markets. It shares the same physical package and core architecture as consumer variants but is qualified for harsher environmental conditions. The 'U' designation indicates the DualLite configuration, while the 'A' suffix denotes the automotive temperature grade.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6U4AVM08AB and MCIMX6U4AVM08AD are alternative orderable part numbers within the same data sheet covering different silicon revisions or fusing options.
