MCIMX6X1AVK08AB

Overview

The MCIMX6X1AVK08AB is a microprocessor unit from the NXP i.MX 6SoloX series, featuring dual ARM Cortex-A9 cores operating at 800 MHz and an ARM Cortex-M4 core running at 200 MHz. It utilizes a 32-bit architecture within a 400-LFBGA package (14x14 mm). The device supports LPDDR2, LPDDR3, and DDR3 memory controllers and includes extensive peripheral interfaces such as Ethernet, USB 2.0, CAN, I2C, SPI, and UART. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 125°C TJ.

Feature Summary

• Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processing combined with a low-power ARM Cortex-M4 for heterogeneous computing
• Integrated security features including A-HAB, ARM TrustZone, CAAM, and CSU
• Support for multiple high-speed communication protocols including Gigabit Ethernet and USB OTG

Applications

• Consumer electronics requiring multimedia capabilities
• Industrial automation systems
• Smart home devices

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific ordering suffixes that may indicate package variations or temperature grades. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding pinout and voltage levels before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications needing balanced performance between high-level OS execution on Cortex-A9 and real-time control on Cortex-M4. Consider the 400-ball BGA footprint for space-constrained designs. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the 800 MHz maximum frequency capability.

Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 6SoloX family, designed for cost-sensitive consumer and industrial markets. It bridges the gap between high-performance application processors and microcontrollers by integrating both architectures in a single package.

Replacement Considerations

Check NXP documentation for direct pin-to-pin replacements within the i.MX 6SoloX series. Verify if updated silicon revisions offer improved performance or additional features without altering the physical footprint.
