MCIMX253DJM4A

The MCIMX253DJM4A is an NXP Semiconductors i.MX25 series applications processor built around a single ARM926EJ-S 32‑bit core running at up to 400 MHz. It combines a power‑efficient CPU core with integrated connectivity and memory controllers to address embedded and consumer applications.

Designed for industrial and general embedded markets, the device offers integrated Ethernet and USB PHYs, support for multiple DRAM types, and on‑chip power management features to help optimize system power and integration.

Key Features

• ARM Core – ARM926EJ‑S single 32‑bit core operating up to 400 MHz for deterministic embedded processing.
• Memory Controllers – Built‑in controllers for LPDDR, DDR and DDR2 memory technologies, with DDR2 support up to 133 MHz as described in the i.MX25 datasheet.
• Integrated Connectivity – On‑chip 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC and two USB 2.0 controllers with integrated PHYs provide wired network and host/device connectivity options.
• Peripherals – Keypad controller and I2C interface for human‑machine interfaces and sensor/board control.
• Power Management – Advanced on‑chip power management features documented for the i.MX25 family to help minimize system power in active and low‑power modes.
• Package and Mounting – 400‑LFBGA surface‑mount package in a 17 × 17 mm footprint with 0.8 mm pitch package option per package documentation.
• Operating Range and Compliance – Consumer qualification with an operating temperature range of −20 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Graphical Remote Controls – Embedded processing and keypad interfacing for responsive remote control designs.
• Human Machine Interface (HMI) – Core performance and peripheral set suitable for control panels and HMI units in consumer and industrial products.
• Residential and Commercial Control Panels – Integrated Ethernet and USB enable networked control and local connectivity for panel systems and gateways.
• Handheld Scanners & Printers – Single‑core processing and memory flexibility support compact handheld devices with moderate compute needs.
• Point‑of‑Sale and Medical Monitoring – Deterministic processor performance and I/O options for terminals and patient‑monitoring devices documented for the i.MX25 family.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated connectivity: On‑chip 10/100 Ethernet MAC plus two USB 2.0 PHYs reduce external components and simplify system BOM.
• Flexible memory support: Native controllers for LPDDR, DDR and DDR2 give design flexibility for cost and performance tradeoffs, including DDR2 at up to 133 MHz.
• Power‑aware architecture: The i.MX25 family’s documented power management features help lower system power in both active and low‑power modes.
• Compact BGA package: 400‑LFBGA (17 × 17 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) enables a small board footprint while maintaining signal density for complex designs.
• Documented platform: Comprehensive datasheet and package information for the i.MX25 series supports evaluation, design integration, and production planning.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for environmental and regulatory conformity in consumer electronic products.
