MIMXRT1171AVM8B

Overview

The MIMXRT1171AVM8B is an ARM microcontroller within the i.MX RT1170 series, manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. It features a single-core architecture based on the Arm Cortex-M7 processor without integrated graphics capabilities. The device utilizes a BGA-289 package and supports surface-mount installation. Key electrical specifications include a maximum clock frequency of 800 MHz, a data bus width of 32 bits, and 2 MB of SRAM data memory. It provides 174 input/output terminals and includes dual 12-bit ADCs. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C with a supply voltage between 1.1 V and 1.15 V.

Feature Summary

• Single-core processing capability utilizing the Arm Cortex-M7 architecture for high-performance real-time control applications.
• Integrated hardware security features including secure boot functionality and encryption engines to protect intellectual property.
• Support for external memory execution via XIP modes, enabling flexible system design with various storage interfaces.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring deterministic real-time performance
• Smart home devices and consumer electronics controllers
• Edge computing nodes in IoT infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'B' against official documentation to confirm exact silicon revision or packaging variant details. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the BGA-289 footprint and pinout configuration. Confirm that the single-core specification meets the application's computational requirements, as this model lacks the secondary core found in other series variants.

Selection Notes

Select this part when a single high-performance core is sufficient for the application logic. The 800 MHz operating frequency offers a balance between processing power and thermal management compared to higher-frequency models. Verify that the absence of an integrated GPU does not impact display rendering needs, as this model is specified without graphic capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the i.MX RT1170 crossover MCU family, designed for industrial and automotive markets. Unlike the dual-core variants in the same series, this specific model integrates only the Cortex-M7 core. It shares the platform's advanced connectivity options and security features while offering a simplified architecture for cost-sensitive or logic-focused designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for MIMXRT1171AVM8A as a potential alternative, noting its NRND status. Verify if upgrading to a dual-core variant like MIMXRT1176DVMAA is necessary for future scalability, though pinouts and software architectures may differ significantly.
