Key Features

• Core — ARM926EJ-S single 32‑bit core operating up to 454 MHz for real‑time embedded processing.
• Memory and Controllers — On‑chip 128 KB SRAM (device-level detail from datasheet) and support for external memory interfaces including LVDDR, LVDDR2 and DDR2 for flexible memory configurations.
• Power Management — Integrated power management unit with a triple‑output DC‑DC switching converter and multiple linear regulators, providing power sequencing and system power control features as described in the i.MX28 datasheet.
• Connectivity — Integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller (1), dual USB 2.0 controllers with PHY (2), and additional interfaces including CAN for common embedded networking needs.
• Display and I/O — Display interface support for keyboard, LCD and touchscreen controllers to enable HMI and panel applications.
• Security — Hardware security features including boot security, cryptography support and a unique hardware ID to help enable trusted boot and device identity.
• Co-processor — DCP listed in product data for additional data processing support.
• Package and Mounting — 289‑MAPBGA package (14 × 14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch), surface‑mount assembly.
• Qualification and Temperature — Industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• HMI Panels — Industrial and home human‑machine interfaces leveraging LCD and touchscreen controllers for responsive user control panels.
• Industrial Control — PLCs, factory robotics displays and drive control panels benefiting from the processor’s real‑time core and industrial temperature rating.
• Handheld Devices — Scanners and portable printers requiring compact integration, USB connectivity and on‑chip power management.
• Medical and Monitoring — Portable patient‑monitoring devices that need low‑power processing, secure boot capabilities and industrial temperature operation.
• Smart Energy and Gateways — Energy meters and gateways using Ethernet, CAN and robust power sequencing for reliable field operation.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated power management: On‑chip PMU with DC‑DC converter and linear regulators reduces external power components and simplifies power sequencing for memories and peripherals.
• On‑chip SRAM for compact RTOS designs: 128 KB on‑chip SRAM (documented in the i.MX28 datasheet) can eliminate the need for external RAM in small‑footprint RTOS applications.
• Industrial robustness: Industrial qualification and −40 °C to 85 °C operating range support deployment in demanding environments.
• Broad memory interface support: Controllers for LVDDR, LVDDR2 and DDR2 enable flexible memory choices to match performance and bill‑of‑materials targets.
• Multiple connectivity options: Integrated Ethernet, dual USB 2.0 with PHY and CAN support simplify system design for connected embedded products.
• Hardware security primitives: Boot security, cryptography support and a hardware ID provide foundations for secure device identity and trusted boot strategies.
