MCIMX6Y1CVM05AA

The MCIMX6Y1CVM05AA is a single-core ARM® Cortex®-A7 microprocessor optimized for embedded and connected-device applications. Operating at 528 MHz with a 32-bit core, it delivers efficient processing for control, user-interface, and networked edge functions.

Designed for industrial use, this device couples core processing with integrated system features—memory-controller support, multiple peripheral interfaces and on-chip security—to simplify board design and accelerate time to market.

Key Features

• Core – ARM® Cortex®-A7 single 32-bit core running at 528 MHz, providing deterministic embedded processing for control and application tasks.
• Co-processors – Multimedia and NEON™ MPE support for media-oriented signal processing and vector operations.
• Memory support – Integrated memory controllers for LPDDR2, DDR3 and DDR3L to support a range of system memory configurations.
• Display interfaces – Controllers for electrophoretic and LCD displays, enabling low-power and traditional display options.
• Ethernet – Single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface for wired networking.
• USB – USB 2.0 OTG with PHY functionality (2) to support host and device connectivity.
• Additional interfaces – CAN interface for robust vehicle-style or industrial fieldbus communications.
• Security features – A-HAB, ARM TZ, CSU, SJC and SNVS security blocks to support secure boot and system integrity functions.
• Power integration – Includes an integrated power management module (as documented in the product family datasheet) to reduce external power-supply complexity and simplify sequencing.
• Package and mounting – 289-MAPBGA (14 × 14 mm) surface-mount package, suited for compact embedded designs.
• Industrial qualification and temperature range – Industrial qualification with operating range from −40 °C to 105 °C to meet harsh-environment requirements.
• Graphics – No dedicated graphics acceleration, enabling focus on control and media-processing tasks via NEON and multimedia coprocessors.

Typical Applications

• Connected Devices – Embedded gateways and IoT edge nodes that need a compact processor with networking and security features.
• Industrial Controls – Process and machine controllers that require industrial temperature operation, CAN connectivity and reliable Ethernet communications.
• Consumer and Portable Devices – Low-power consumer products with simple display requirements (electrophoretic or LCD) and USB connectivity.
• Sensor and Instrument Interfaces – Data-acquisition controllers that benefit from the processor’s memory support and signal-processing co-processors.

Unique Advantages

• Efficient single-core performance – A 528 MHz ARM® Cortex®-A7 core delivers straightforward, efficient processing for embedded workloads without unnecessary overhead.
• Integrated system features – On-chip memory controllers, USB OTG with PHY and Ethernet reduce discrete component count and simplify board-level design.
• Robust security blocks – Multiple on-chip security modules (A-HAB, ARM TZ, CSU, SJC, SNVS) support secure boot and runtime protection strategies.
• Industrial-ready – Industrial qualification and a −40 °C to 105 °C operating range make the device suitable for harsh environments and long-life deployments.
• Flexible memory options – Support for LPDDR2, DDR3 and DDR3L enables system designers to choose memory trade-offs for power, cost and performance.
• Compact package – 289-MAPBGA (14×14 mm) enables dense, space-constrained designs while retaining a broad set of I/O.
