MCIMX7D3EVK10SD

The MCIMX7D3EVK10SD is an NXP i.MX 7D family microprocessor featuring heterogeneous dual cores: an ARM® Cortex®-A7 application core running up to 1.0 GHz and an ARM® Cortex®-M4 coprocessor. It targets connected and portable devices that require a balance of application processing and real-time control with a high degree of functional integration.

Designed for low-power, integrated system designs, the device provides multiple peripheral interfaces and security subsystems to support applications such as audio, human‑machine interfaces, access control, portable medical devices, and IP phones.

Key Features

• Core Architecture Dual-core architecture with ARM® Cortex®-A7 and ARM® Cortex®-M4 processors; Cortex-A7 up to 1 GHz for application processing and Cortex-M4 for real-time tasks.
• Memory Interfaces Supports LPDDR2, LPDDR3, DDR3 and DDR3L memory controllers for flexible system memory configurations.
• Display and HMI Integrated display interface controllers including keypad, LCD and MIPI to support common human‑machine interface designs.
• Ethernet Connectivity Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet interfaces for high-speed wired networking.
• USB Support USB 2.0 ports with PHY: one USB 2.0 + PHY and two USB 2.0 OTG + PHY connections for host and OTG configurations.
• Security Subsystems On-chip security features including A-HAB, ARM TrustZone (ARM TZ), CAAM, CSU, SJC and SNVS to enable secure boot and trusted execution environments.
• Co-processor / Multimedia Multimedia acceleration support via NEON™ MPE and DSP-oriented multimedia processing elements.
• Package and Mounting 488‑TFBGA package (12 × 12 mm) with surface-mount construction suitable for compact embedded designs.
• Operating Range Rated for operation from −20 °C to 105 °C to cover a broad range of industrial and commercial environments.
• Additional Interfaces Legacy audio interface support via AC'97 for certain audio subsystem integrations.

Typical Applications

• Connected Devices Integrated application and connectivity features enable networking and peripheral integration for connected consumer and industrial devices.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMI) Display and keypad interfaces combined with dual-core processing support responsive user interfaces and control logic.
• Portable Medical & Health Devices Processing partitioning between application and real-time cores helps meet monitoring and control requirements in portable medical equipment.
• Access Control & IP Phones Built-in Ethernet, USB and security modules support secure communications and device management for access control systems and VoIP endpoints.

Unique Advantages

• Heterogeneous Dual-Core Design: Separates application-level processing (Cortex-A7) from real-time control (Cortex-M4) to simplify software partitioning and system design.
• Broad Memory Flexibility: Support for LPDDR2/LPDDR3 and DDR3/DDR3L memory types enables designers to choose memory for performance, power, or cost targets.
• Integrated Networking & Peripherals: Dual gigabit Ethernet and multiple USB PHYs reduce external components and ease board-level integration for connected products.
• On-chip Security Primitives: A-HAB, ARM TrustZone, CAAM and related modules provide hardware foundations for secure boot and trusted execution.
• Compact BGA Package: 488‑TFBGA (12 × 12 mm) saves PCB area while delivering a high pin-count for complex embedded systems.
