MIMX8QX1AVLFZACR

Overview

The MIMX8QX1AVLFZACR is an i.MX 8QuadXPlus automotive and infotainment application processor from NXP Semiconductors. It features four ARM Cortex-A35 cores operating at a maximum frequency of 1.2 GHz and one ARM Cortex-M4F core running at 264 MHz. The device utilizes a 21 x 21 mm FCPBGA package with a 0.8 mm pitch. It supports 32-bit LPDDR4 memory without ECC and optional 40-bit DDR3L with ECC. Connectivity includes USB 3.0, dual Gigabit Ethernet with AVB, PCIe 3.0, and three CAN/CAN-FD interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Multicore architecture combining high-performance Cortex-A35 cores for complex applications with a dedicated Cortex-M4F core for real-time control tasks.
• Advanced multimedia capabilities including hardware-accelerated video decoding up to 4K resolution and encoding support via the Video Processing Unit.
• Integrated Tensilica HiFi 4 DSP designed for efficient audio processing, voice recognition, and offloading computational tasks from the main CPU cores.
• Comprehensive security infrastructure featuring Advanced High Assurance Boot (AHAB), hardware encryption engines, and tamper detection mechanisms.

Applications

• Automotive telematics and connected car systems
• Vehicle infotainment and digital cockpit displays
• Industrial control systems requiring real-time processing
• V2X communication gateways

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level against the latest NXP documentation to ensure compatibility with required System Controller Firmware versions. Confirm that the selected board support package aligns with the minimum SCFW release specified for this component to prevent reliability issues during operation.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a quad-core A35 configuration is required alongside a real-time M4F core. Note that this specific variant lacks GPU, VPU, and display controller support compared to higher-tier models in the same family. Ensure the design accommodates the 21x21mm package constraints and associated power delivery requirements for the 1.2 GHz A35 cores.

Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 8X family, which also includes the 8DualXPlus and standard 8DualX processors. It shares the same architectural foundation but offers distinct feature subsets based on the ordering suffix. The '1' designation indicates the exclusion of graphics and video processing units found in other variants.
