MCIMX6Y2CVK08AB

Overview

The MCIMX6Y2CVK08AB is an industrial-grade microprocessor from the NXP i.MX 6ULL family, featuring a single-core Arm Cortex-A7 processor operating at 792 MHz. It utilizes a 32-bit data bus and includes 32 KB L1 instruction cache, 32 KB L1 data cache, and 128 KB L2 unified cache. The device incorporates 96 KB of boot ROM and 128 KB of internal RAM. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, it supports LPDDR2, DDR3, and DDR3L memory interfaces. Connectivity options include dual Ethernet, dual USB 2.0 OTG, dual CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, SAI, and ESAI. The component is housed in a 9x9 mm MAPBGA package with a 0.5 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Industrial-grade performance with integrated multimedia processing capabilities via NEON MPE co-processor
• Advanced hardware security features including A-HAB, ARM TrustZone, CSU, and SNVS for secure boot and encryption
• Integrated power management unit with linear regulators to simplify system power sequencing
• Comprehensive peripheral interface set supporting displays, cameras, audio, and multiple communication protocols

Applications

• Industrial Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)
• IoT Gateways and connected devices
• Access control panels
• Portable medical and health care equipment
• Smart appliances and IP phones

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VK' confirms the 9x9 mm MAPBGA package with 0.5 mm pitch, distinct from the 'VM' variant. Ensure compatibility with industrial temperature ratings (-40°C to +105°C) required for the target application environment. Confirm that the basic security feature set meets project requirements, as this part does not include enhanced security configurations found in other variants.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 9x9 mm footprint is necessary for space-constrained industrial designs. It provides higher clock speeds compared to the 528 MHz variants while maintaining the full peripheral set including LCD/CSI and dual CAN/Ethernet. Consider the 14x14 mm VM package alternative if larger board real estate allows for easier routing or different thermal profiles.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP i.MX 6ULL Applications Processors for Industrial Products series. It represents a high-performance, ultra-efficient solution targeting connected devices and IoT applications. The i.MX 6ULL family integrates multimedia features with low power consumption, utilizing the Arm Cortex-A7 core architecture optimized for cost-effective and power-efficient embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX6Y2CVM08AB: Identical electrical and functional specifications but utilizes a 14x14 mm MAPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch instead of the 9x9 mm VK package.
