MCIMX513CJM6CR2

The MCIMX513CJM6CR2 is an NXP Semiconductors i.MX 513 series microprocessor IC featuring a single ARM® Cortex®-A8 core running at 600 MHz in a 529-BGA (19×19) package. It targets embedded applications that require a 32-bit application processor with integrated memory controllers, connectivity and hardware security features.

Designed for industrial use, the device supports operation from −40 °C to 95 °C and combines processing performance with integrated peripheral interfaces for compact, connected embedded systems.

Key Features

• Core – ARM® Cortex®-A8 single 32-bit core running at 600 MHz, with NEON™ SIMD multimedia co-processor support.
• Memory and Bus – Integrated controllers for LPDDR and DDR2 memory to support a range of external memory choices.
• Connectivity – Built-in 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller (1) and multiple USB 2.0 interfaces (three USB 2.0 ports plus one USB 2.0 with PHY) for wired networking and host/device I/O.
• Display and User I/O – On-chip controllers for keypad and LCD interfaces to simplify user-interface implementations.
• Security – Comprehensive hardware security features including ARM TrustZone (TZ), boot security, cryptography, RTIC, secure fusebox, secure JTAG, secure memory and secure RTC for protected boot and runtime operation.
• Qualification and Thermal – Industrial qualification with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 95 °C for demanding environments.
• Package and Mounting – 529-ball BGA (19×19) in surface-mount form, supplied in tape & reel (TR) for automated assembly.

Typical Applications

• Smart and Utility Metering – Suitable for single-phase electricity meters and low-end utility metering where a compact processor and integrated interfaces are required.
• Portable Medical Equipment – Can be used in battery-powered medical devices that require application processing and secure boot/cryptography features.
• Thermostats and Building Controls – Provides processing, display and connectivity for intelligent thermostat and HVAC control designs.
• Industrial Process Control and Test – Fits automated test equipment and industrial control systems that need reliable operation across an extended temperature range.
• Sensor Interfacing and Scales – Enables sensor hub, digital scale and measurement systems with integrated I/O and memory controller support.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced performance and efficiency: Single-core 600 MHz Cortex-A8 with NEON SIMD delivers application-level processing and multimedia acceleration where required.
• Integrated connectivity: On-chip Ethernet and multiple USB 2.0 ports reduce external components and simplify system-level design.
• Flexible memory support: LPDDR and DDR2 controllers allow designers to choose memory options that match capacity and cost targets.
• Comprehensive security stack: Multiple hardware security mechanisms (TrustZone, secure fusebox, secure JTAG, cryptography, secure memory/RTC) help protect boot and runtime assets.
• Industrial-ready packaging and thermal range: 529-BGA packaging and −40 °C to 95 °C operation support deployment in harsher environments.
• Compact BOM impact: Integrated display and keypad controllers plus peripheral interfaces reduce board-level complexity and component count.
