MCIMX7D7DVM10SD

Overview

The MCIMX7D7DVM10SD is a 32-bit microprocessor from the i.MX 7Dual family, featuring two Arm Cortex-A7 cores and one Arm Cortex-M4 core. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 1 GHz and utilizes a MAPBGA-541 package with dimensions of 19 x 19 mm and a 0.75 mm pitch. The device supports DDR3, DDR3L, LPDDR2, and LPDDR3 memory types. Operating temperatures range from 0°C to +95°C, and it includes integrated security features such as tamper detection pins.

Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous multicore processing architecture combining dual Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores for efficient task distribution between operating systems and real-time control.
• Integrated Electrophoretic Display Controller (EPDC) designed to drive E Ink panels with low power consumption and high performance.
• Advanced hardware security implementation including High Assurance Boot (HAB), Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM), and Central Security Unit (CSU).
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers supporting Audio Video Bridging (AVB) and IEEE 1588 time synchronization standards.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm feature availability, as part numbers within the same family may vary in enabled peripherals or qualification grades. Ensure compatibility with the required package type and temperature range specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an application requires a balance of high-performance computing on the Cortex-A7 cores and deterministic real-time processing on the Cortex-M4 core. It is suitable for designs needing integrated EPDC support and robust security features without requiring the higher clock speeds found in other variants of the i.MX 7 series.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the NXP i.MX 7Dual family, which targets connected and portable devices with a focus on low-power requirements and high functional integration. The family provides a scalable platform for multimedia and connectivity applications, offering flexible interface options and advanced power management capabilities across various package sizes.

Replacement Considerations

MCIMX7D7DVK10SD: Identical electrical and functional specifications but housed in a smaller 12x12 mm BGA package with fewer tamper pins and ADC channels.

FAQ

What is the difference between the MCIMX7D7DVM10SD and the MCIMX7D7DVK10SD?

The primary differences are the package size and pin count. The MCIMX7D7DVM10SD uses a larger 19x19 mm BGA package with 10 tamper pins and two ADCs, whereas the MCIMX7D7DVK10SD uses a 12x12 mm BGA package with 4 tamper pins and one ADC.

Does the MCIMX7D7DVM10SD support electrophoretic displays?

Yes, this part number explicitly includes the Electrophoretic Display Controller (EPDC) module, allowing it to directly drive E Ink panels.
