MCIMX6Y1CVK05AB

Overview

The MCIMX6Y1CVK05AB is an industrial-grade application processor from the NXP i.MX 6ULL family. It features a single-core Arm Cortex-A7 running at 528 MHz, equipped with 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, plus a 128 KB unified L2 cache. The device integrates 96 KB of boot ROM and 128 KB of internal OCRAM. Connectivity includes one Ethernet controller, two USB OTG ports, four UARTs, three SAI interfaces, one ESAI, four I2C buses, four SPI controllers, and one CAN port. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and utilizes a 9x9 mm MAPBGA package with a 0.5 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Industrial-grade reliability with extended operating temperature range
• Integrated multimedia processing capabilities via NEON MPE and PXP
• Hardware-accelerated security features including secure boot and encryption engines
• Flexible memory support for various external storage standards

Applications

• Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)
• IoT Gateways
• Access control panels
• Smart appliances

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VK' confirms the 9x9 mm MAPBGA package configuration. Ensure compatibility with the Industrial Product Data Sheet (IMX6ULLIEC) for electrical characteristics. Confirm that the basic security feature set meets project requirements, as this variant lacks LCD/CSI and dual Ethernet found in higher-tier models.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact footprint is required alongside standard industrial connectivity. It provides essential peripherals like CAN and multiple serial interfaces without the display or camera subsystems present in full-feature variants. Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where high-resolution video output is not necessary.

Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 6ULL series, designed for low-power, high-performance embedded applications. It shares architectural similarities with other i.MX 6 processors but focuses on single-core efficiency. The 'Y' designation indicates the i.MX 6ULL core type, while 'C' specifies the industrial temperature grade.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB offers identical functionality in a larger 14x14 mm package.
