MIMX8QX1AVLFZAC

Overview

The MIMX8QX1AVLFZAC is an application processor from the i.MX 8QuadXPlus series, featuring a five-core architecture with four ARM Cortex-A35 cores and one ARM Cortex-M4F core. It operates on a 64-bit data bus with maximum clock frequencies of 264 MHz for the M4F and 1.2 GHz for the A35 cores. The device includes 512 kB of L2 cache and supports DDR3L, LPDDR4, and SRAM memory types. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, it utilizes an FCPBGA-609 package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates heterogeneous multi-core processing combining high-performance Cortex-A35 application cores with a real-time capable Cortex-M4F core.
• Supports advanced multimedia capabilities including 4K video decoding and hardware-accelerated graphics rendering via OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan.
• Provides extensive connectivity options including dual Gigabit Ethernet with Audio Video Bridging, PCIe 3.0, and multiple MIPI interfaces for display and camera inputs.

Applications

• Automotive infotainment systems
• Digital cockpit displays
• Industrial control panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix AVLFZAC against the official NXP datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal specifications. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documentation. Confirm that the component meets RoHS requirements as specified in the manufacturer's declaration before integration into final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of computational throughput and real-time control is required within a single package. The inclusion of both application and microcontroller cores allows for separation of user interface tasks from safety-critical functions. Consider the FCPBGA-609 package constraints during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 8X family of processors designed for edge computing applications. It shares architectural similarities with other members like the MIMX8DX1AVLFZAC but offers increased core count and performance headroom suitable for more complex graphical user interfaces and multitasking environments in automotive and industrial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MIMX8QX2AVLFZAC or MIMX8QX5AVLFZAC from the same i.MX 8QuadXPlus family. Verify software compatibility and peripheral mapping differences between variants before swapping components in existing designs.
