MIMX8QP6AVUFFAB

Overview

The MIMX8QP6AVUFFAB is an i.MX 8QuadPlus automotive-grade application processor featuring a seven-core architecture with one Arm Cortex-A72, four Cortex-A53, and two Cortex-M4F cores. It includes a Tensilica HiFi 4 DSP, dual GC7000XSVX GPUs, and a VPU supporting 4K H.265 decoding. The device utilizes a 29x29 mm FCPBGA package with a 0.75 mm pitch.

Feature Summary

• Automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualification for high reliability
• Split GPU architecture enabling independent or combined processing modes
• Integrated SafeAssure failover path for display controller redundancy
• Advanced security features including AHAB boot and hardware encryption

Applications

• Automotive infotainment systems
• Digital instrument clusters
• Head-up displays (HUD)
• Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) front-end processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '6' indicates the inclusion of the HiFi 4 DSP core compared to other variants in the family. Confirm that the SCFW version matches the BSP requirements to ensure correct operation. Check the latest errata sheet for any mask set-specific revisions before finalizing design integration.

Selection Notes

Select this part when automotive grade (-40°C to 125°C) is required alongside multi-display support. It offers higher performance than the QuadLite series but differs from the QuadMax by having a single Cortex-A72 core. Ensure the system design accommodates the necessary LPDDR4 memory interfaces and PCIe/SATA connectivity options.

Part Context

This component belongs to the NXP i.MX 8 family, specifically the 8QuadPlus tier designed for automotive applications. It shares pinout compatibility with the i.MX 8QuadMax, allowing for flexible platform designs. The processor integrates multimedia, graphics, and real-time control capabilities on a single die.

Replacement Considerations

MIMX8QP5AVUFFAB is a related variant within the same package lacking the DSP core.
