MCIMX6X2CVN08AC

Overview

The MCIMX6X2CVN08AC is an industrial-grade i.MX 6SoloX application processor featuring a heterogeneous dual-core architecture with one Arm Cortex-A9 core operating up to 800 MHz and one Arm Cortex-M4 core operating up to 227 MHz. It includes a Vivante GC400T GPU for 2D/3D graphics, two Gigabit Ethernet controllers with AVB support, and four MMC/SDIO interfaces. The device supports DDR3/LPDDR2 memory and integrates hardware security modules including CAAM and TrustZone. It is housed in a 17x17 mm MAPBGA package with PCIe capability.

Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous multicore processing combining high-performance Linux execution on Cortex-A9 with real-time control on Cortex-M4
• Integrated multimedia acceleration via Vivante GC400T GPU and PiXel Processing Pipeline for display management
• Advanced hardware security implementation supporting secure boot, encryption, and trusted execution environments
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with Audio Video Bridging for deterministic network performance

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision and mask set (e.g., 4N19K) against current production status. Confirm that the package code VN corresponds to the required 17x17 mm footprint with PCIe enabled. Ensure compatibility with the designated power management ICs such as the PF0200 or MMPF0200 for proper voltage domain configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this part when industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +105°C) are required alongside heterogeneous processing capabilities. The inclusion of PCIe distinguishes it from non-PCIe variants like the VO package. Verify that the absence of LVDS and MLB interfaces aligns with the target display and audio bus requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP i.MX 6SoloX family, designed for industrial applications requiring robust multimedia performance and security. It complements other i.MX 6 series processors by offering a cost-effective solution with integrated power management and extensive peripheral connectivity for embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations
