MIMX8MN2CVTIZAAR

Overview

The MIMX8MN2CVTIZAAR is an i.MX 8M Nano Solo application processor featuring one Arm Cortex-A53 core and one Cortex-M7 core. It operates at a maximum frequency of 1.4 GHz for the A53 and 750 MHz for the M7. The device includes a GC7000UL GPU, MIPI DSI/CSI interfaces, and supports LPDDR4, DDR4, and DDR3L memory. It utilizes a 14x14 mm FCBGA package with a 0.5 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a single Cortex-A53 core for high-performance processing alongside a Cortex-M7 core for real-time control.
• Includes hardware-accelerated 3D graphics via the GC7000UL GPU supporting OpenGL ES and Vulkan standards.
• Provides multimedia connectivity through dedicated MIPI DSI display and MIPI CSI camera serial interfaces.
• Features comprehensive security mechanisms including TrustZone architecture, CAAM, and High Assurance Boot.

Applications

• Consumer home audio systems
• Industrial building automation
• Mobile computers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AAR' against official NXP documentation to confirm its exact meaning regarding fusing options or silicon revision. Ensure compatibility with the 14x14 mm FCBGA footprint during PCB design. Confirm that the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) meets the target environment requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a single Cortex-A53 core is sufficient for the application workload. It is suitable for cost-sensitive designs requiring GPU acceleration and MIPI interfaces. Compare against the SoloLite variant if GPU capabilities are not required to optimize power consumption.

Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 8M Nano family, designed for low-power consumer and industrial applications. It shares architectural similarities with other Nano derivatives but offers a specific configuration of one A53 core and GPU support. It is part of NXP's EdgeVerse edge computing platform.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include MIMX8MN1CVTIZAA (SoloLite) and MIMX8MN3CVTIZAA (DualLite). Verify pinout compatibility and feature availability, as the SoloLite lacks the GPU and the DualLite adds a second A53 core.

FAQ

Does the MIMX8MN2CVTIZAAR support MIPI DSI?

Yes, according to Table 3 in the datasheet, the Solo sub-family (indicated by the number 2) includes the MIPI DSI interface.

What is the operating temperature range for this industrial product?

The device is qualified for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 105°C Tj.
