MIMX8MQ5CVAHZAB

Overview

The MIMX8MQ5CVAHZAB is an industrial-grade i.MX 8M QuadLite application processor featuring four Arm Cortex-A53 cores operating at 1.3 GHz and a Cortex-M4 core. It utilizes a 17x17 mm FCBGA package with a 0.65 mm pitch. The device supports LPDDR4, DDR4, and DDR3L memory interfaces and includes hardware acceleration for video playback up to 4Kp60 HEVC/H.265 and VP9 decoding. Connectivity options include dual PCIe Gen2, dual USB 3.0/2.0 controllers, Gigabit Ethernet, and MIPI-CSI2 camera inputs.

Feature Summary

• Quad-core Cortex-A53 architecture with integrated GPU for interactive graphics
• Hardware-accelerated 4K video decoding without dedicated encoding unit
• Industrial temperature range qualification (-40°C to +105°C)
• Comprehensive security features including TrustZone and CAAM

Applications

• Industrial human-machine interfaces (HMI)
• Smart home gateways and control panels
• Streaming audio/video devices
• Scanning and imaging equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against the manufacturer's current ordering information table to confirm availability and revision status. Ensure that the industrial temperature rating and package specifications match the design requirements. Confirm HDCP licensing requirements if protected content playback is necessary for the application.

Selection Notes

Select this model when hardware video decoding is required but hardware encoding is not needed, distinguishing it from the standard Quad variant which includes VPU encoding capabilities. The QuadLite designation indicates the absence of the video processing unit's encoding block while retaining decoding and GPU functions suitable for display-centric applications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP i.MX 8M family, designed for high-performance multimedia and IoT applications. It sits alongside Dual and Quad variants within the same package footprint, offering flexibility in core count and multimedia feature sets while maintaining pin compatibility across the series for scalable product designs.
