MCIMX6X3EVO10AC

Overview

The MCIMX6X3EVO10AC is an i.MX 6SoloX application processor featuring a single Arm Cortex-A9 core operating at 1 GHz and an Arm Cortex-M4 core running at 227 MHz. It includes a Vivante GC400T GPU, 256 KB L2 cache, and supports DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 memory. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -20°C to +105°C and utilizes a 17x17 mm MAPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous dual-core architecture combining a high-performance Cortex-A9 for open operating systems and a real-time Cortex-M4.
• Integrated 2D and 3D graphics acceleration via the Vivante GC400T GPU supporting OpenGL ES 2.0.
• Advanced hardware security features including TrustZone, CAAM cryptographic accelerator, and Advanced High Assurance Boot (A-HAB).
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers with Audio Video Bridging (AVB) support for low-latency multimedia streaming.

Applications

• Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)
• Connected smart devices
• Access control panels
• Portable medical and health care equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision and mask set against the ordering information table in the IMX6SXCEC datasheet. Confirm that the required interfaces such as PCIe and LVDS are supported by this specific part variant, as certain features may be disabled depending on the package code. Ensure compatibility with the recommended companion power management ICs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of application processing and real-time control is required. The inclusion of the Cortex-M4 allows for background tasks while the Cortex-A9 handles the OS. Verify that the 17x17mm package fits the board layout constraints and that the extended commercial temperature range meets the environmental requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the NXP i.MX 6SoloX family, designed for consumer products requiring heterogeneous processing. It sits below the higher-end i.MX 6Quad and i.MX 6DualLite models in terms of core count but offers unique dual-core capabilities with a dedicated real-time core not found in earlier single-core variants.
