MCIMX258CJM4A

The MCIMX258CJM4A is an i.MX25 applications processor from NXP Semiconductors featuring a single ARM926EJ-S 32‑bit core running at up to 400 MHz. Designed for industrial and general embedded markets, the device combines processing performance with integration and power management to support a range of connected and user‑interface driven products.

Built-in peripheral controllers and on‑chip I/O support—along with security features and an industrial temperature rating—make this MPU suitable for human machine interfaces, residential and commercial control panels, gateways, handheld scanners, point‑of‑sale terminals and patient‑monitoring devices.

Key Features

• Core & Performance  ARM926EJ‑S single 32‑bit core running at 400 MHz for responsive embedded processing.
• Memory Controllers  Integrated support for LPDDR, DDR and DDR2 memory controllers to accommodate a range of memory choices and system requirements.
• Interfaces & Connectivity  Integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC, two USB 2.0 controllers with on‑chip PHYs, and CAN support for common networking and I/O needs. Display interface controllers include keypad, LCD and touchscreen support.
• Security  Hardware security features including Boot Security, Cryptography, Secure Fusebox, Secure JTAG, Secure Memory and Tamper Detection to support secure device operation and trusted boot flows.
• Power Management  Advanced on‑chip power management and low‑power modes reduce system power consumption during active and idle operation.
• Package & Mounting  Available in a 400‑LFBGA package (17 x 17 mm, surface mount) suitable for compact embedded board designs.
• Industrial Qualification & Temperature Range  Industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C for deployment in demanding environments.

Typical Applications

• Graphical Remote Controls  Drive keypad and LCD or touchscreen user interfaces while handling networked connectivity needs.
• Human Machine Interface (HMI)  Provide responsive local control and secure system operation for factory, building or equipment HMIs.
• Residential and Commercial Control Panels  Enable embedded control with integrated Ethernet, USB and display interfaces for smart panels and controllers.
• Residential Gateways / Smart Metering  Support residential gateway and metering applications requiring network connectivity and secure boot capabilities.
• Handheld Scanners, Printers & Point‑of‑Sale  Deliver embedded processing and peripheral connectivity for mobile and counter‑top transaction and scanning devices.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated peripheral set: On‑chip Ethernet MAC, two USB 2.0 PHYs, CAN and display interface controllers reduce external component count and simplify system BOM for connected embedded designs.
• Security building blocks: Comprehensive security features (Boot Security, Cryptography, Secure Fusebox, Secure JTAG, Secure Memory, Tamper Detection) support protected boot and runtime integrity.
• Designed for industrial environments: Industrial qualification and −40 °C to 85 °C operating range allow deployment in harsh or temperature‑sensitive applications.
• Flexible memory support: LPDDR, DDR and DDR2 controller support provides memory design flexibility to meet performance and cost targets.
• Power‑aware architecture: Advanced power management and multiple low‑power modes help minimize system power consumption during active and idle states.
• Compact packaging: 400‑LFBGA (17 x 17 mm) surface‑mount package enables high‑density board designs while providing the necessary I/O count.
