MCIMX6Y2CVM08ABR

Overview

The MCIMX6Y2CVM08ABR is a single-core 32-bit microprocessor from the NXP i.MX 6ULL series, featuring an ARM Cortex-A7 core operating at 792 MHz. It utilizes a 14x14 mm MAPBGA package with a 0.8 mm pitch and supports industrial junction temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C. The device integrates 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, a 128 KB unified L2 cache, and 128 KB of internal OCRAM. External memory support includes LPDDR2, DDR3, and DDR3L standards.

Feature Summary

• Integrated multimedia performance enhanced by NEON Media Processing Engine (MPE) co-processor and Pixel Processing Pipeline (PXP).
• Advanced hardware security features including A-HAB secure boot, AES-128 encryption, SHA acceleration, and tamper detection via SNVS.
• Comprehensive connectivity options supporting dual Ethernet controllers, dual USB OTG with PHY, and multiple serial interfaces.
• Integrated power management unit with linear regulators that simplifies system power sequencing and reduces external component complexity.

Applications

• Industrial products requiring robust processing capabilities
• IoT gateways and connected devices
• Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)
• Telematics systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration compared to tray variants. Confirm the 'C' designation aligns with the required industrial temperature range (-40°C to +105°C). Ensure compatibility with the IMX6ULLIEC datasheet for electrical characteristics and pin assignments. Validate silicon revision status against current production releases.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single high-performance core is sufficient for general-purpose applications. The 792 MHz frequency offers higher throughput than the 528 MHz variants. The inclusion of LCD/CSI interfaces and dual CAN/Ethernet ports distinguishes it from reduced-feature models. Verify that the 14x14 mm MAPBGA footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context
