MCIMX6X4CVM08AC

Overview

The MCIMX6X4CVM08AC is an i.MX 6SoloX automotive applications processor featuring a single Arm Cortex-A9 core at 800 MHz and an Arm Cortex-M4 core at 227 MHz. It utilizes a 19x19 mm MAPBGA package with a 0.8 mm pitch. The device supports DDR3, DDR3L, and LPDDR2-800 memory interfaces. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +125°C. Key peripherals include dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers with AVB support, two USB 2.0 OTG ports, PCIe Gen 2.0, and a Vivante GC400T GPU.

Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous dual-core architecture combining high-performance Linux execution on the Cortex-A9 with real-time control on the Cortex-M4.
• Integrated multimedia acceleration via a 2D/3D graphics processing unit and pixel processing pipeline for display management.
• Automotive-grade connectivity including dual FlexCAN ports, MLB interface, and IEEE 1588 compliant Ethernet controllers.

Applications

• Automotive entry-level infotainment systems
• Telematics units
• Human-machine interface (HMI) displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'AC' indicates Mass Production silicon revision 1.4 (Maskset 4N19K). Confirm the specific data sheet IMX6SXAEC applies due to the 'A' automotive junction temperature designation. Ensure compatibility with companion power management ICs such as the MMPF0200 for system integration.

Selection Notes

Select this part for designs requiring full peripheral availability in the 19x19 mm package. The VM package code includes LVDS display output, PCIe, and dual ADC channels. Verify that the 800 MHz speed grade meets performance requirements compared to the 1 GHz variant if higher throughput is needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP i.MX 6SoloX family, designed for heterogeneous processing. It integrates an Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore platform with an Arm Cortex-M4 platform. The series targets markets demanding secure, connected solutions with low power consumption and high functional integration for multimedia applications.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6X4CVM08AB: Identical specifications but represents Silicon Revision 1.2 or 1.3 (Masksets 2N19K/3N19K).
