MIMX8UX5AVOFZAC

Overview

The MIMX8UX5AVOFZAC is an i.MX 8QuadXPlus microprocessor featuring five cores: four ARM Cortex-A35 processors and one ARM Cortex-M4F. It operates with a maximum clock frequency of 1.2 GHz for the A35 cores and 264 MHz for the M4F core. The device utilizes a 609-ball FCBGA package (21x21 mm) and supports DDR3L, LPDDR4, and SRAM memory types. It includes integrated interfaces such as CAN, Ethernet, USB, MIPI-CSI/DSI, PCIe, and SPI, designed for automotive and infotainment applications within a -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range.

Feature Summary

• Integrates heterogeneous multi-core architecture combining high-performance Cortex-A35 application processing with real-time Cortex-M4F control capabilities.
• Supports advanced multimedia features including dual independent display outputs via MIPI-DSI and camera inputs via MIPI-CSI.
• Provides comprehensive connectivity options including Gigabit Ethernet with AVB, multiple USB versions, and high-speed PCIe links.

Applications

• Automotive instrument clusters
• In-vehicle infotainment systems
• Digital cockpit displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AVOFZAC' against official NXP documentation to confirm pinout, speed grade, and packaging details, as variations exist within the i.MX 8QXP family. Ensure compatibility with required external memory components and power management ICs specified in the datasheet. Confirm availability status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors due to potential lifecycle changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of application processing power and real-time control is required in a compact form factor. Consider the 609-ball BGA package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management. Evaluate the need for specific interface combinations like dual MIPI displays or AVB Ethernet support before finalizing the design.
