MIMX8QX2AVOFZAC

Overview

The MIMX8QX2AVOFZAC is an i.MX 8QuadXPlus application processor featuring five cores: four ARM Cortex-A35 processors and one ARM Cortex-M4F. It utilizes a 64-bit data bus with maximum clock frequencies of 1.2 GHz for the A35 cores and 264 MHz for the M4F core. The device includes 512 kB L2 cache, 256 kB or 512 kB data RAM, and supports DDR3L, LPDDR4, and SRAM storage types. Operating at 1 V with I/O voltages of 1.8 V, 2.5 V, or 3.3 V, it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C in an FCPBGA-417 package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates heterogeneous multi-core architecture combining high-performance Cortex-A35 application cores with a low-power Cortex-M4F real-time controller.
• Supports advanced multimedia processing including MIPI-CSI camera inputs and MIPI-DSI display outputs for complex visual interfaces.
• Provides extensive connectivity options including PCIe, Ethernet, CAN FD, USB 3.0 OTG, and multiple serial interfaces for industrial and automotive systems.

Applications

• Automotive infotainment systems
• Digital cockpit displays
• Industrial automation controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AVOFZAC' against the official NXP datasheet to confirm pinout, thermal characteristics, and software compatibility. Ensure the design accounts for the FCPBGA-417 package requirements and moisture sensitivity levels during assembly. Cross-reference the exact memory configuration supported by this variant before finalizing the bill of materials.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of application processing power and real-time control is required within a single chip. The inclusion of both Cortex-A35 and Cortex-M4F cores allows for separation of user interface tasks from safety-critical background processes. Consider the 17x17 mm package size for space-constrained automotive and industrial enclosures requiring robust connectivity.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the i.MX 8X family, designed specifically for demanding applications requiring high reliability and performance. It serves as a central processing unit for systems needing integrated graphics, video decoding, and secure boot capabilities. The part is engineered to meet stringent automotive standards while supporting modern operating systems like Linux and Android.

Replacement Considerations

Check for compatible variants within the i.MX 8QuadXPlus series that may offer different package sizes or pin configurations. Verify if alternative suffixes provide identical functionality with modified packaging or environmental ratings. Consult NXP documentation for direct pin-to-pin replacements or software-compatible upgrades.
