MCIMX6X4CVM08AB

Overview

The MCIMX6X4CVM08AB is a 32-bit microprocessor from the NXP i.MX 6SoloX series, featuring a heterogeneous dual-core architecture. It integrates one ARM Cortex-A9 core operating at up to 800 MHz and one ARM Cortex-M4 core running at 166 MHz. The device utilizes a 529-LFBGA package with dimensions of 19x19 mm. Key specifications include 256 kB L2 cache for the A9 core, 32 kB instruction and data caches for both cores, and support for DDR3, DDR3L, and LPDDR2 memory interfaces. Operating voltage ranges from 950 mV to 1.5 V, with I/O voltages supporting 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 2.8 V, and 3.15 V.

Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous multi-core processing combining an application-oriented Cortex-A9 core with a real-time capable Cortex-M4 core
• Integrated hardware security features including A-HAB, ARM TrustZone, CAAM, CSU, and SNVS
• Support for floating-point operations via NEON SIMD media accelerator and GPU acceleration

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring real-time control and complex processing
• Smart home and smart vehicle IoT gateways
• Medical platforms and edge computing devices

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized NXP distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status and REACH registration details prior to integration. Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure compatibility with required power management ICs such as MMPF0100 or MMPF0200 for proper system operation.

Selection Notes

Select this processor when a combination of high-performance application processing and deterministic real-time control is necessary within a single chip. The i.MX 6SoloX architecture allows partitioning of system resources between the A9 and M4 cores for enhanced security and efficiency. Consider this part for designs requiring integrated Ethernet, USB, and multimedia capabilities alongside robust security extensions.

Part Context
