Key Features

• Processor Core ARM926EJ-S 32‑bit core running at 266 MHz, offering accelerated Java support as described in the i.MX21 family documentation.
• Memory and Storage Controllers Integrated SDRAM controller and a NAND Flash controller with on‑chip ECC and parity checking to offload error correction from the CPU and enable use of low‑cost NAND Flash.
• Display and User I/O On‑chip LCD controller and keypad interface for compact user interface designs.
• USB Connectivity USB On‑The‑Go and host capability with two USB 1.x ports, enabling flexible peripheral and host connectivity options.
• Peripheral Interfaces Multiple serial and expansion interfaces noted in the product documentation, including 1‑Wire, CSPI, SSI, I2C, UART channels, MMC/SD host support, and PCMCIA/CF expansion paths.
• Audio and Multimedia Integrated audio multiplexing and synchronous serial interfaces to support basic audio and peripheral I/O needs.
• System and Debug Support On‑chip system control, power management features and JTAG/Multi‑ICE connectivity for development and debugging.
• Package and Mounting 289‑pin MAPBGA (289‑LFBGA) surface‑mount package with a 14×14 mm supplier package footprint.
• Operating Range and Compliance Operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Portable Handheld Devices Compact handheld products that need a combined CPU and peripheral set for user interfaces and removable storage.
• Embedded User Interfaces LCD and keypad driven control panels and HMIs that benefit from an integrated display controller and serial interfaces.
• Connectivity‑Enabled Appliances Devices requiring USB OTG/host and removable media support for data exchange and expansion.
• Cost‑Sensitive Storage Designs Applications using NAND Flash with on‑chip ECC to reduce system complexity and manage non‑volatile storage reliably.
