MIMX8MM1DVTLZAA

Overview

The MIMX8MM1DVTLZAA is an embedded microprocessor from the i.MX 8M Mini family, manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor running at up to 1.8 GHz and includes a dedicated ARM Cortex-M4 co-processor for real-time control tasks. The device is housed in a 486-pin LFBGA package measuring 14x14 mm. It supports DDR3L, DDR4, and LPDDR4 memory interfaces and integrates multiple high-speed peripherals including USB 2.0 with PHY, MIPI-DSI, GbE, PCIe, SDHC, SPI, I2C, and UART.

Feature Summary

• Multicore processing architecture combining high-performance application cores with a real-time control core
• Integrated multimedia capabilities including video encode/decode and 3D graphics acceleration
• Comprehensive security features supporting secure boot and hardware-based encryption

Applications

• Smart home devices and building automation systems
• Industrial IoT gateways and controllers
• Digital signage and point-of-sale terminals

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '1' against official NXP documentation to confirm exact silicon stepping and feature set variations within the i.MX 8M Mini series. Ensure compatibility with required memory types (DDR3L/DDR4/LPDDR4) and power management solutions during component sourcing. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of application performance and real-time control is required in a compact form factor. The inclusion of both Cortex-A53 and Cortex-M4 cores allows for separation of complex operating system tasks from deterministic control loops. Evaluate thermal requirements as the junction temperature range extends up to 95°C, suitable for industrial environments without active cooling.

Part Context

This part belongs to the i.MX 8M Mini family, designed for edge computing applications requiring moderate processing power and rich connectivity. It serves as a cost-effective solution for devices needing multimedia support and secure communication interfaces. The family shares architectural similarities with other i.MX 8 variants but offers a reduced pin count and peripheral set optimized for space-constrained designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check NXP's official obsolescence notices for potential end-of-life status. Cross-reference with other i.MX 8M Mini variants such as MIMX8MM6DVTLZAA for pin-compatible upgrades with higher clock speeds or additional features, ensuring software migration paths are validated.
