MCIMX7D7DVM10SC

Overview

The MCIMX7D7DVM10SC is an i.MX 7Dual application processor featuring a heterogeneous multicore architecture with two Arm Cortex-A7 cores and one Arm Cortex-M4 core. It operates at a maximum frequency of 1 GHz and utilizes a 19x19 mm, 0.75 mm pitch BGA package. The device supports up to 32-bit DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2/LPDDR3-1066 memory interfaces and includes integrated security features such as TrustZone, CAAM, and HAB. Connectivity options include dual Gigabit Ethernet with AVB, PCIe v2.1, USB OTG, and multiple display and camera interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous multicore processing architecture combining dual Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores for optimized performance and power efficiency.
• Integrated EPDC controller supporting direct drive of electrophoretic displays with high refresh rates and grayscale capabilities.
• Advanced hardware security implementation including Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM) and High Assurance Boot (HAB).
• Comprehensive multimedia support with NEON MPE coprocessor, PXP pipeline, and dedicated MIPI DSI/CSI display and camera interfaces.

Applications

• Human-machine interfaces (HMI)
• Connected devices and smart appliances
• Electronic paper readers (eReaders)
• Access control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current data sheet to confirm feature availability, as part numbers within the i.MX 7Dual family vary by enabled peripherals and qualification grade. Confirm package dimensions and pinout compatibility during design-in. Check for any recent revisions or errata that may impact system integration or electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low-power heterogeneous computing with robust security features. Ensure the design accommodates the required external memory types (DDR3/LPDDR2/3) and thermal management for the specified operating temperature range. Verify that the 19x19 mm BGA package fits the PCB layout constraints and that the available I/Os meet the interface requirements for displays, cameras, and connectivity.
