MCIMX502EVM8B

The MCIMX502EVM8B is an NXP i.MX 502 series microprocessor IC featuring a single ARM® Cortex®-A8 core running at 800 MHz in a 400‑LFBGA surface-mount package (17 × 17 mm). It is designed for consumer-focused embedded and portable multimedia applications that require a compact, integrated processing solution with display and multimedia capabilities.

Built on the i.MX50 architecture, the device balances processing performance and power efficiency while integrating display, graphics acceleration, memory controller options, and security features to simplify system design.

Key Features

• Core Single ARM® Cortex®-A8 32‑bit core at 800 MHz for responsive application processing.
• Multimedia Acceleration NEON™ SIMD and multimedia co-processor support plus graphics acceleration; the i.MX50 series includes a 2D GPU and Pixel Processing Pipeline (ePXP) for display and image processing workflows.
• Memory Controllers Integrated controllers for LPDDR, LPDDR2 and DDR2 memory. (The i.MX50 series supports DRAM up to 266 MHz as documented in the series datasheet.)
• Display Support LCD display interface and series-level electrophoretic display integration for display-centric consumer devices.
• Connectivity Single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller and two USB 2.0 controllers with PHYs provide standard network and peripheral interfaces.
• Security Boot security, cryptography, and Secure JTAG features to support protected boot and secure development/debug flows.
• Additional I/O 1‑Wire interface and a range of peripheral interfaces to support sensors and simple control buses.
• Package & Mounting 400‑LFBGA package (17 × 17 mm) in a surface‑mount form factor suitable for compact board designs.
• Operating Range & Qualification Consumer‑grade qualification with an operating temperature range of −20 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Portable multimedia devices — Handles application processing, graphics acceleration, and display control for handheld consumer devices.
• E‑readers and electrophoretic displays — i.MX50 series electrophoretic display support and display pipeline integration suit electronic-paper applications.
• Consumer display products — Drives LCD interfaces and 2D graphics pipelines for user-interface and information-display designs.
• Connected consumer devices — Integrated Ethernet and USB 2.0 interfaces enable basic networking and peripheral connectivity in consumer products.

Unique Advantages
