MIMX8QX2FVOFZAC

Overview

The MIMX8QX2FVOFZAC is an i.MX 8QuadXPlus automotive processor featuring four Cortex-A35 cores at 1.2 GHz and one Cortex-M4F core at 264 MHz. It includes a Tensilica HiFi 4 DSP, GPU, and VPU. The device utilizes a 17x17 mm FCPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch. Memory interfaces support 16-bit LPDDR4 and 16-bit DDR3L without ECC. Connectivity includes USB 3.0, dual Ethernet with AVB, three CAN/FD ports, PCIe 3.0, and MIPI-CSI/DSI.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-performance audio processing via integrated Tensilica HiFi 4 DSP for voice recognition and codec offloading.
• Provides secure boot and data protection through Advanced High Assurance Boot (AHAB) and dedicated security controllers.
• Enables reliable display output using SafeAssure failover capabilities to maintain content validity during software failures.

Applications

• Automotive instrument clusters
• Vehicle telematics systems
• In-vehicle infotainment units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required package size and feature set. Confirm that the System Controller Firmware (SCFW) version aligns with the chosen Board Support Package release to ensure correct operation. Check electrical characteristics against target operating temperatures and voltage requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this part when four application cores are required alongside real-time control capabilities. The 17x17 mm package offers reduced pin count compared to the 21x21 mm variant but limits memory interface width to 16 bits. Ensure design constraints accommodate the absence of GPU and display controller features if those specific options are not needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 8X family, which scales performance from higher-end i.MX 8 devices. It shares architectural similarities with the i.MX 8DualXPlus but provides additional processing cores. The family supports software reuse across different package options, facilitating product differentiation within automotive and industrial applications.
