MCIMX31CVMN4CR2

The MCIMX31CVMN4CR2 is a single-core 32-bit multimedia application processor based on the ARM1136JF-S core running at 400 MHz. It targets embedded and industrial applications that require integrated multimedia processing, secure system features, and flexible peripheral connectivity.

Built for low-power operation and high integration, this i.MX31-series device combines dedicated multimedia engines, DDR memory support and multiple high-speed interfaces in a compact 473-LFBGA (19 × 19 mm) package, with industrial qualification and an extended operating temperature range.

Key Features

• Core  ARM1136JF-S core, single 32-bit processor running at 400 MHz for deterministic embedded control and application processing.
• Multimedia and Acceleration  Integrated multimedia co-processors including GPU, Image Processing Unit (IPU), MPEG-4 hardware encoder and Vector Floating Point (VFP) support for accelerated graphics and video tasks.
• Memory Support  DDR memory controller support and connectivity to external memory types referenced in the device documentation (DDR, NAND Flash, NOR Flash, SDRAM, SRAM).
• Connectivity  Multiple high-speed peripheral interfaces including USB 2.0 (three ports) plus additional interfaces such as 1-Wire, ATA, MMC/SDIO and CompactFlash support mentioned in product documentation.
• Display and HMI  Display interface controllers for keyboard, keypad and LCD, and an autonomous image processing unit for user-interface and imaging tasks.
• Low-Power Design  Power-optimization techniques documented for the series including dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), power gating and clock gating to reduce active and leakage power.
• Security  On-chip security capabilities including a random number generator, RTIC, secure fusebox, secure JTAG and secure memory features.
• Package and Temperature  473-LFBGA surface-mount package (19 × 19 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) and industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards Compliance  RoHS compliant per product data.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control & HMI  High-integration processor for human-machine interface controllers and industrial control systems where multimedia and user interface responsiveness are required.
• Embedded Multimedia Devices  Devices requiring onboard video encode/decode and image processing using the MPEG-4 encoder and IPU for local multimedia handling.
• Connectivity-Heavy Embedded Systems  Systems that leverage multiple USB 2.0 ports and storage interfaces (MMC/SDIO, ATA, CompactFlash) for peripherals and mass storage.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated multimedia engine: Combined GPU, IPU and MPEG-4 encoder reduce external accelerator needs and simplify BOM for multimedia-enabled designs.
• Industrial temperature and qualification: Rated for −40 °C to 85 °C and listed as industrial qualification to support deployments in extended-temperature environments.
• Flexible memory and peripheral support: DDR controller and documented support for multiple external memory types enable scalable system memory architectures.
• Security building blocks included: On-chip RNG, secure fusebox, secure JTAG and secure memory provide hardware-level primitives for secure system design.
• Compact surface-mount package: 473-LFBGA (19 × 19 mm) offers a space-efficient footprint for tight board layouts.
• Power-optimized operation: Series-level power-management techniques (DVFS, power gating, clock gating) help control active and leakage power in battery- or power-sensitive applications.
