MIMX8DX6CVLFZAC

Overview

The MIMX8DX6CVLFZAC is an application processor from the NXP i.MX 8DualXPlus series, designed for industrial applications. It features a heterogeneous multi-core architecture comprising two ARM Cortex-A35 cores and one ARM Cortex-M4F core. The device operates with a maximum clock frequency of 1.2 GHz for the A35 cores and 264 MHz for the M4F core. It utilizes a 64-bit data bus width and includes L1 instruction and data caches of 16 KB and 32 KB respectively per core. The processor supports DDR3L and LPDDR4 memory types, functions at a supply voltage of 1 V, and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It is packaged in a 609-ball FCPBGA.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual high-performance Cortex-A35 cores alongside a real-time capable Cortex-M4F core for efficient task partitioning.
• Supports advanced multimedia processing including 4K video decoding and hardware-accelerated graphics via Vec4-Shader GPU.
• Provides comprehensive connectivity options including Ethernet AVB, CAN FD, PCIe, and multiple MIPI interfaces for displays and cameras.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• HMI panels for industrial environments
• Smart building infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix CVLFZAC against official NXP documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and feature set. Ensure that the industrial temperature rating aligns with your system requirements. Cross-reference the package type FCPBGA-609 with your PCB design files. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring robust real-time control combined with rich multimedia capabilities in harsh environments. The inclusion of the Cortex-M4F allows for deterministic safety-critical tasks separate from the Linux-running A35 cores. Consider the thermal performance limits of the +125°C maximum operating temperature during board layout.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the i.MX 8X family, part of NXP's EdgeVerse edge computing platform. It is engineered for high integration, supporting audio, voice, and language processing. The series is designed to meet stringent safety certification standards while delivering efficient performance for edge AI and multimedia workloads.

Replacement Considerations

Check NXP datasheets for direct pin-to-pin compatible alternatives within the i.MX 8DualXPlus family. Verify if lower or higher tier variants such as MIMX8DX5 or MIMX8DX7 offer necessary feature parity for your specific application constraints.
