MCIMX31CVMN4DR2

The MCIMX31CVMN4DR2 is an NXP Semiconductors i.MX31 series multimedia applications processor featuring an ARM1136JF-S core running at 400 MHz. Designed for embedded and industrial systems, it integrates multimedia acceleration, dedicated co-processors, and on-chip DDR memory interface to deliver efficient processing for HMI and multimedia-focused applications.

With hardware blocks for video and image processing, USB 2.0 connectivity, and a suite of security features, this single-core 32-bit MPU combines performance and integration for compact, rugged embedded designs operating from –40°C to 85°C.

Key Features

• Core – ARM1136JF-S single 32-bit core running at 400 MHz for predictable embedded processing performance.
• Multimedia Co-processors – Integrated multimedia engines including GPU, IPU, MPEG-4 encoder and VFP to accelerate graphics, image processing and video encode workloads.
• Memory Support – On-chip DDR memory controller support to interface with external DDR memory for system memory and frame buffers.
• Interfaces – Multiple USB 2.0 ports (USB 2.0 (3) as specified) and display interface controllers for keyboard, keypad and LCD integration.
• Security – Built-in security features including Random Number Generator, RTIC, Secure Fusebox, Secure JTAG and Secure Memory to support protected boot and secure operation.
• Power-efficiency Techniques – Architecture and process-level power optimizations such as DVFS, power gating and clock gating (described in datasheet) to reduce active and leakage power.
• Graphics Acceleration – Hardware graphics acceleration is included to offload display and GUI tasks from the CPU core.
• Package & Mounting – 473-LFBGA (19×19 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) surface-mount package, supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated PCB assembly.
• Industrial Qualification – Specified for industrial use with an operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.

Typical Applications

• Industrial HMI – Drives LCD-based human-machine interfaces with on-chip graphics acceleration and display controllers for responsive operator displays.
• Multimedia Embedded Devices – Supports video encoding and image processing tasks using the MPEG-4 encoder and IPU for product designs that require local multimedia handling.
• USB-enabled Systems – Integrates USB 2.0 connectivity for peripheral and host/device applications in embedded environments.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated multimedia processing: Hardware GPU, IPU and MPEG-4 functions reduce external accelerator requirements and simplify system design.
• Secure platform elements: On-chip RNG, secure fusebox, secure JTAG and secure memory support system-level protection and trusted boot schemes.
• Designed for industrial environments: Rated for operation from –40°C to 85°C, suitable for a broad range of embedded deployments.
• Compact surface-mount package: 473-LFBGA (19×19) minimizes PCB footprint while supporting automated Tape & Reel supply for production assembly.
• Power management capabilities: Datasheet-described DVFS and power gating techniques enable lower operating power and reduced leakage for battery-sensitive or thermally constrained designs.
