MCIMX31LDVMN5D

The MCIMX31LDVMN5D is an NXP Semiconductors i.MX31-series multimedia applications processor based on a single ARM1136JF-S 32-bit core running at 532 MHz. It targets mid- to high-tier handheld devices and portable media products where integrated multimedia capability and power-efficient operation are required.

Built for integration and low-power performance, the device combines on-chip multimedia accelerators, DDR memory controllers and multiple high-speed interfaces to streamline system design for consumer-focused embedded applications.

Key Features

• Core – ARM1136JF-S single 32-bit core at 532 MHz delivering application processing for embedded multimedia tasks.
• Multimedia and Co-processors – Includes an Autonomous Image Processing Unit (IPU), MPEG-4 hardware encoder (VGA, 30 fps) and a Vector Floating Point (VFP) co-processor. Note: the MCIMX31L variant does not include a graphics processing unit (GPU).
• Memory and Storage – Integrated DDR memory controller with support for common external memory types referenced in the product documentation.
• Interfaces – Multiple high-speed interfaces including up to three USB 2.0 ports, ATA/MMC/SDIO and compact flash support referenced in the series documentation; additional 1-Wire interface and display controllers for keyboard/keypad and LCD.
• Security – On-chip security features include a Random Number Generator, RTIC, Secure Fusebox, Secure JTAG and Secure Memory to support secure boot and runtime protection mechanisms.
• Low-power technologies – Designed with power-saving techniques such as Dynamic Power and Thermal Control (DPTC), Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS), power gating and clock gating as described in the technical documentation.
• Multimedia acceleration – Hardware acceleration for multimedia tasks including MPEG-4 encoding and image processing to offload the CPU and reduce system power consumption.
• Package and mounting – 473-LFBGA surface-mount package (19 × 19 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) suitable for compact embedded PCB designs.
• Operating range and compliance – Consumer-qualified device with an operating temperature range of −20 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Smartphones and feature phones – Multimedia processing, image capture and peripheral interfaces for mid- to high-tier handset designs.
• Portable media players – On-chip MPEG-4 encoder and image processing capabilities for audio/video applications and playback.
• Handheld consumer electronics – Compact systems requiring DDR memory support, USB 2.0 connectivity and display/keyboard interfacing.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated multimedia engine: Hardware IPU and MPEG-4 encoder reduce CPU load and simplify media system design.
• Power-management features: DPTC, DVFS, power gating and clock gating support lower overall power consumption in battery-powered devices.
• Comprehensive security stack: Built-in RNG, secure fusebox and Secure JTAG/Secure Memory provide a foundation for secure boot and runtime protection.
• System connectivity: Multiple USB 2.0 ports and a variety of external memory interfaces simplify integration with common peripherals and storage media.
• Compact package: 473-LFBGA (19 × 19 mm) surface-mount package enables dense PCB layouts for portable products.
