MIMX8SL1AVNFZABR

Soc System On Chip Overview

The NXP MIMX8SL1AVNFZABR is an i.MX 8XLite automotive microprocessor featuring a single Arm Cortex-A35 core running at 1.2 GHz and one Cortex-M4F core operating at 264 MHz. It utilizes a 388-ball FCPBGA package with dimensions of 15 x 15 mm. The device supports 16-bit LPDDR4 memory up to 1200 MHz and DDR3L up to 933 MHz, both with inline ECC. Key interfaces include PCIe 3.0 (1-lane), dual USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet with AVB/TSN, three CAN/CAN-FD controllers, and FlexSPI for boot from NOR flash. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +125°C.

Soc System On Chip Applications

• Automotive telematics units
• V2X communication modules
• Industrial control systems

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific SCFW version required for the chosen BSP release before integration. Mixing newer BSP versions with older SCFW revisions may cause reliability issues. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the desired FIPS 140-3 certification level, as this variant lacks full certification compared to other family members.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this part for applications requiring a single high-performance application core alongside a real-time microcontroller. Ensure the design accommodates the 15x15mm FCPBGA footprint. Verify power supply requirements against the recommended PF7100 PMIC if ASIL B compliance is needed for the power management section.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX 8XLite family, designed specifically for automotive infotainment and telematics. It shares the same package outline as the Dual-core variants but contains only one Cortex-A35 core. It serves as a cost-effective solution for systems not requiring the processing power of the dual-core i.MX 8DXL series.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

MIMX8DL1AVNFZABR (Dual-core, no FIPS), MIMX8SL2AVNFZABR (Single-core, FIPS certified).

Soc System On Chip FAQ

Does this processor support FIPS 140-3 certification?

No, the MIMX8SL1AVNFZABR does not have FIPS 140-3 certification. Only the '2' and '3' suffix variants in the i.MX 8XLite family offer this certification.

What is the maximum speed of the Cortex-M4F core?

The Cortex-M4F core operates at a maximum frequency of 264 MHz.

Which memory types are supported with ECC?

The processor supports 16-bit LPDDR4 up to 1200 MHz and 16-bit DDR3L up to 933 MHz, both with inline ECC protection.
