MCIMX6U5EVM10AC

Overview

The MCIMX6U5EVM10AC is a dual-core i.MX 6DualLite microprocessor from NXP Semiconductors. It features two Arm Cortex-A9 cores operating at a maximum frequency of 1 GHz. The device utilizes a MAPBGA package with dimensions of 21 x 21 mm and a 0.8 mm pitch, containing 624 contacts. It supports extended commercial temperature ranges from -20°C to +105°C. Key hardware accelerators include a Video Processing Unit (VPU), a 3D Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), and MediaLB (MLB). The processor lacks an E-INK Panel Display Controller (EPDC) but includes integrated power management and security modules such as CAAM and TrustZone.

Feature Summary

• Dual-core Arm Cortex-A9 architecture with NEON MPE co-processor for multimedia acceleration
• Integrated VPU, GPU, and MLB interfaces for high-performance media processing
• Advanced security features including CAAM, TrustZone, and A-HAB boot support
• Comprehensive connectivity options including Gigabit Ethernet, USB OTG, and multiple display ports

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision indicated by the suffix 'C' against current production data sheets. Confirm that the Extended Commercial temperature grade aligns with system thermal requirements. Ensure the absence of EPDC functionality meets application needs. Cross-reference the ordering information table in the IMX6SDLCEC datasheet to validate feature availability for this exact part number.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-core processing performance up to 1 GHz is required alongside dedicated hardware video and graphics acceleration. The Extended Commercial temperature range makes it suitable for environments exceeding standard commercial limits. Verify compatibility with DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2 memory interfaces and ensure the MAPBGA 624 footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite family designed for consumer products. It shares architectural similarities with other i.MX 6 series parts but is distinguished by its dual-core configuration and specific peripheral set. The 'MCIMX6U5EVM10AC' designation identifies it within the DualLite line, differentiating it from Solo variants and Automotive or Industrial temperature grades.
