Key Features

• Core & Microcontroller  Single ARM® Cortex®-A7 32‑bit application core at up to 800 MHz with an integrated ARM® Cortex®-M4 co-processor for real-time tasks.
• Multimedia & DSP Extension  Integrated multimedia co-processors including NEON™ MPE to accelerate media and signal processing workloads.
• Memory Interfaces  Flexible memory controller support for LPDDR2, LPDDR3, DDR3 and DDR3L enabling multiple memory configurations and performance points.
• Connectivity  Integrated Ethernet MAC supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps (1), USB 2.0 + PHY and USB 2.0 OTG + PHY, and additional interfaces such as AC'97 for audio connectivity.
• Display & I/O  Display interface controllers supporting LCD, MIPI and keypad interfaces to drive human‑machine interfaces and display subsystems.
• Security Features  Built-in security blocks including A‑HAB, ARM TrustZone (ARM TZ), CAAM, CSU, SJC and SNVS for hardware-assisted secure boot and system security domains.
• Package & Mounting  Supplied in a 488‑TFBGA (12 × 12 mm) package, surface-mountable for compact board designs.
• Operating Range & Reliability  Rated for an operating temperature range of −20 °C to 105 °C for extended environmental tolerance in many embedded deployments.

Typical Applications

• Audio systems  Use the multimedia and NEON MPE capabilities for audio processing and codec interfacing in connected audio devices.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMI)  Drive LCD or MIPI displays and keypads for control panels, kiosks and appliance user interfaces.
• Portable medical and health care  Leverage low‑power architecture and integrated peripherals for battery‑sensitive portable medical instruments.
• Smart appliances and Point of Sale (POS)  Provide network connectivity (Gigabit Ethernet), USB interfaces and secure boot features for connected appliance and POS designs.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated processing pair: Single Cortex‑A7 application core plus Cortex‑M4 co-processor enables a split between application-level tasks and real‑time control without adding external MCUs.
• Flexible memory support: On‑chip controllers for LPDDR2/LPDDR3 and DDR3/DDR3L allow designers to choose memory types that match performance, cost and power targets.
• Robust connectivity: Built-in Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 host/OTG with PHY support simplify integration of wired networking and peripheral connectivity.
• Hardware security primitives: Multiple security modules (A‑HAB, ARM TZ, CAAM, CSU, SJC, SNVS) enable hardware-assisted secure boot and system protection strategies.
• Compact, production-ready package: 488‑TFBGA (12 × 12 mm) surface-mount package supports compact board layouts and industrial assembly processes.
• Designed for low-power embedded devices: i.MX 7Solo family positioning emphasizes high functional integration for low‑power requirements suitable for portable and connected product designs.
