MCIMX6V7DVN10AB

Overview

The MCIMX6V7DVN10AB is an i.MX 6SLL series microprocessor featuring a single Arm Cortex-A9 core operating at 800 MHz. It utilizes a 14x14 mm, 0.65 mm pitch BGA package and supports industrial junction temperatures from -40°C to +105°C. The device includes a 256 KB L2 cache, 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, and a floating-point unit. It integrates an EPD controller for E-Ink displays up to 2332x1650 resolution, a PXP graphics accelerator, and interfaces including USB OTG, UART, I2C, SPI, and MMC/SD.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an Electrophoretic Display Controller (EPDC) optimized for low-power E-Ink panels with high-resolution support.
• Includes a PiXel Processing Pipeline (PXP) hardware accelerator for efficient image processing tasks such as color-space conversion and rotation.
• Provides advanced security features including ARM TrustZone, Advanced High Assurance Boot (HAB), and Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS).
• Supports dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) to optimize power consumption across varying application loads.

Applications

• Color and monochrome eReaders
• Barcode scanners
• IoT devices
• Connectivity hubs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '7' in the part number against the official NXP ordering table to confirm feature enablement, particularly regarding EPDC and GPU availability. Ensure compatibility with the IMX6SLLIEC datasheet revision and confirm that the selected variant meets the required industrial temperature range specifications for your deployment environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring dedicated hardware acceleration for electronic paper displays alongside standard multimedia processing. The inclusion of the EPDC allows the CPU to remain available for other tasks while managing display updates efficiently. Consider the integrated PMU capabilities and DVFS support if strict power budgeting is required for battery-operated portable devices.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the i.MX 6SLL family, which is designed specifically for industrial products and multimedia applications. It represents a specialized segment within the broader i.MX 6 series, focusing on low-power consumption and integration of display controllers suitable for e-paper technologies rather than high-performance 3D graphics found in other variants.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the i.MX 6SLL Ordering Information table for alternative part numbers with different feature sets or packaging options. Verify silicon revisions and fuse configurations when substituting parts to ensure functional parity, especially concerning enabled peripherals like the EPDC and security modules.

FAQ
