MCIMX6X3CVO08AB

Overview

The MCIMX6X3CVO08AB is a 32-bit microprocessor from the NXP i.MX 6SoloX series, featuring dual cores: an ARM Cortex-A9 running at 800 MHz and an ARM Cortex-M4 operating at 166 MHz. It utilizes a 400-LFBGA (MAPBGA) package with dimensions supporting surface mount installation. The device supports external memory types including DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR2, NAND Flash, and NOR Flash. Operating voltage ranges from 950 mV to 1.5 V for core power, with I/O voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 2.8 V, or 3.15 V. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates heterogeneous computing architecture combining high-performance application processing with low-power real-time control capabilities.
• Includes dedicated hardware security features such as CAAM, CSU, and A-HAB for secure boot and data protection.
• Supports multiple high-speed peripheral interfaces including Ethernet, USB, CAN, and various serial communication protocols.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• Smart building management systems
• Medical equipment control units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official NXP documentation to ensure correct speed grade and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors. Ensure ESD handling procedures are followed during storage and assembly due to the fine-pitch BGA packaging.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance between application processing performance and real-time deterministic control is required. The integrated M4 core allows offloading time-critical tasks from the A9 core. Verify that the required memory interface types and peripheral counts align with the system design constraints before finalizing the selection.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 6SoloX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring both Linux-capable processing and real-time control. It serves as a bridge between simple microcontrollers and full-scale multi-core processors, offering integrated graphics and display controllers suitable for HMI applications.

Replacement Considerations

Check NXP's official obsolescence notices. Potential substitutes may include other i.MX 6SoloX variants with different pin counts or speeds, but direct pin-compatible replacements require verification of electrical characteristics and software compatibility.
