MCIMX7U5CVP06SC

Overview

The MCIMX7U5CVP06SC is an industrial-grade microprocessor from the NXP i.MX 7ULP family, built on a 28nm FD-SOI process. It features a heterogeneous dual-core architecture comprising an ARM Cortex-A7 processor running at 650 MHz and an ARM Cortex-M4 real-time companion CPU operating at 200 MHz. The device integrates 256 KB of on-chip SRAM for each core and includes a GC7000 nanoULTRA GPU supporting OpenGL ES 2.0/1.1 and OpenVG 1.1 standards. Connectivity options include USB 2.0 OTG with PHY, USB 2.0 Host HSIC, eight I2C interfaces, four SPI controllers, eight UARTs, and two SDIO ports. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and is housed in a 14x14 mm MAPBGA package with 393 balls at a 0.5mm pitch.
