Key Features

• Core & Performance  ARM926EJ-S CPU up to 454 MHz with 16 KB I‑ and D‑L1 caches, delivering responsive single‑core performance for embedded multimedia tasks.
• Memory & Storage  Internal 32 KB SRAM and controllers supporting external DDR1/mDDR and NAND with hardware error correction (20‑bit BCH or 8‑bit Reed‑Solomon); supports managed NAND via SDIO.
• Power Management  Integrated DC‑DC converter with multiple outputs, support for Li‑Ion batteries, battery charging capability and direct powering from 5 V sources for simplified power sequencing and system supply.
• Multimedia & Audio  Stereo analog ADC/DAC, stereo headphone amplifier and 1.5 W mono speaker amplifier, S/PDIF output and I2S serial audio interface for integrated audio front‑ends.
• Display & Graphics  Display controller optimized for up to 24‑bit VGA (640×480) and a Pixel Processing Pipeline (PXP) for frame pre‑processing and basic hardware graphics acceleration with minimal memory overhead.
• Connectivity & Interfaces  High‑speed USB Host/Device with integrated PHY, UART, SPI, I2C and 12‑bit LRADC inputs for common peripheral and sensor interfaces.
• Security & System  On‑chip cryptography, hardware ID and a Data Co‑Processor (DCP) for accelerated security operations and device identity features.
• Package & Mounting  169‑MAPBGA (11×11) surface‑mount package to access the full feature set of the i.MX23 family.
• Operating Range & Compliance  Rated for an operating temperature range of −10 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Portable Media Players  Integrated audio converters and display/touch support enable compact media playback devices with reduced BOM.
• Portable Navigation Devices  Display controller and power management features support battery‑operated navigation units with integrated user interfaces.
• Digital Picture Frames & eBooks  Display optimization and PXP preprocessing simplify image presentation and UI responsiveness for handheld and tabletop devices.
• Home Automation & Graphical Remote Controls  On‑chip connectivity, touchscreen controller and audio capabilities provide a compact platform for HMI and control peripherals.

Unique Advantages
