MCIMX6X1AVO08ACR

Overview

The MCIMX6X1AVO08ACR is an i.MX 6SoloX automotive applications processor featuring a single Arm Cortex-A9 core operating at 800 MHz and an Arm Cortex-M4 core running at 227 MHz. It utilizes a 17x17 mm MAPBGA package with a 0.8 mm pitch. The device supports DDR3, DDR3L, and LPDDR2-800 memory interfaces. It includes hardware security features such as A-HAB, CAAM, CSU, SNVS, and TrustZone. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous dual-core architecture combining a high-performance Cortex-A9 for Linux and a real-time Cortex-M4 for RTOS execution.
• Integrated multimedia capabilities including a GC400T GPU supporting OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenVG 1.1 for 2D/3D graphics acceleration.
• Automotive-grade connectivity with dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers supporting AVB and IEEE 1588 standards.
• Advanced hardware security implementation ensuring secure boot, encryption, and system integrity via dedicated cryptographic modules.

Applications

• Automotive entry-level infotainment systems
• Telematics control units
• Human-machine interface (HMI) displays
• Digital instrument clusters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision and mask set compatibility required for your production timeline. Confirm that the absence of PCIe and LVDS interfaces in this specific part number aligns with your board design requirements. Ensure proper ESD handling procedures are followed during assembly due to the fine-pitch BGA packaging.

Selection Notes

Select this component when automotive reliability (-40°C to +125°C) is mandatory alongside heterogeneous processing needs. It is suitable for designs requiring Linux on the application core and deterministic real-time control on the microcontroller core without the cost or complexity of higher-end quad-core variants.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6SoloX family, specifically designed for automotive and infotainment markets. It differs from consumer variants by its extended temperature range and automotive qualification. The 'VO' suffix indicates a 17x17 mm package without PCIe support, distinguishing it from full-featured VM packages.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6X1AVO08AB is a compatible alternative within the same series offering identical core specifications and package dimensions but may differ in silicon revision or fuse configuration.
