MCIMX6X3CVO08AC

Overview

The MCIMX6X3CVO08AC is a specialized application processor from the NXP i.MX 6SoloX series. It integrates dual-core architecture featuring an ARM Cortex-A9 core operating at up to 800 MHz and an ARM Cortex-M4 core running at up to 227 MHz. The device utilizes a 32-bit data bus width and includes L1 instruction and data caches of 32 KB and 16 KB respectively for both cores, alongside a 256 KB L2 cache. It supports DDR3, DDR3L, and LPDDR2 memory interfaces with I/O voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 2.8 V, and 3.15 V. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, it is housed in a MAPBGA-400 package.

Feature Summary

• Dual-core processing combining high-performance ARM Cortex-A9 and real-time ARM Cortex-M4 architectures
• Integrated security features including hardware accelerated cryptography and secure boot capabilities
• Comprehensive peripheral interface support including Ethernet, USB, CAN, and multiple 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 pinout, thermal characteristics, and software compatibility. Confirm that the MAPBGA-400 package dimensions align with your PCB footprint design. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid RoHS compliance certificates and original manufacturer traceability records prior to integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a heterogeneous computing environment is required to balance high-level application processing with deterministic real-time control tasks. The inclusion of the Cortex-M4 allows for isolated safety-critical functions separate from the main operating system running on the Cortex-A9. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available PMIC solutions to optimize system efficiency for industrial deployments.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the i.MX 6SoloX family, designed specifically for cost-sensitive industrial applications requiring robust performance without complex graphics acceleration. It serves as a bridge between standard microcontrollers and higher-end application processors, offering enhanced connectivity and processing power suitable for IoT gateways and smart sensors.

Replacement Considerations

Consult NXP official cross-reference guides for verified substitutes such as other variants within the i.MX 6SoloX series. Ensure any replacement maintains identical package constraints and pin compatibility if board re-spin is not feasible.
