MCIMX6X1CVO08ABR

Overview

The MCIMX6X1CVO08ABR is an i.MX 6SoloX industrial-grade application processor featuring a heterogeneous dual-core architecture. It integrates one Arm Cortex-A9 core operating at 800 MHz and one Arm Cortex-M4 core operating at 227 MHz. The device utilizes a 17x17 mm MAPBGA package with a 0.8 mm pitch. Key specifications include a 32-bit data bus width, 256 KB L2 cache, and support for DDR3, DDR3L, and LPDDR2 memory interfaces. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous multicore processing combining high-performance Linux execution on the Cortex-A9 with real-time control on the Cortex-M4
• Integrated multimedia acceleration via NEON MPE co-processor and Vivante GC400T GPU supporting 2D/3D graphics
• Advanced hardware security features including CAAM, CSU, SNVS, and A-HAB for secure boot and encryption
• Comprehensive connectivity options including dual Gigabit Ethernet with AVB, USB OTG, and multiple serial interfaces

Applications

• Industrial control and automation systems
• Portable medical and healthcare devices
• Smart home appliances and energy management systems
• Entry-level automotive infotainment and telematics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against the official NXP ordering table to confirm feature availability. This variant lacks PCIe, LVDS, MLB, and 2D/3D GPU support. Ensure compatibility with the required industrial temperature grade and package dimensions during procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring simultaneous open OS and RTOS execution within a single chip. The absence of certain high-bandwidth interfaces like PCIe and LVDS makes it suitable for cost-sensitive designs where these peripherals are unnecessary or handled externally.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the i.MX 6SoloX family, designed for industrial and medical markets. It represents a shift towards heterogeneous computing in NXP's portfolio, allowing developers to partition system resources between general-purpose processing and deterministic real-time tasks efficiently.
