MCIMX7U5DVP07SD

The MCIMX7U5DVP07SD is an i.MX 7ULP applications processor from NXP Semiconductors built around an ARM® Cortex®-A7 application domain and an ARM® Cortex®-M4 real-time domain. It delivers asymmetric heterogeneous multicore processing optimized for power-sensitive, consumer-class embedded systems that require a mix of rich OS capability and deterministic real-time control.

This device combines up to 720 MHz overdrive performance for the Cortex‑A7 domain with low-power real-time processing, integrated display and multimedia interfaces, and hardware-based security features to support secure boot and cryptographic operations.

Key Features

• CPU Architecture  ARM® Cortex®-A7 application domain with ARM NEON™ SIMD and FPU; Cortex®-M4 real-time domain for deterministic tasks.
• Performance Modes  Cortex‑A7 nominal RUN frequency 500 MHz with Overdrive (HSRUN) to 720 MHz; Cortex‑M4 nominal RUN 120 MHz with HSRUN to 200 MHz and VLPR modes down to 48 MHz.
• Memory and Storage Interfaces  Supports 16/32-bit LPDDR2/LPDDR3 memory controllers and eMMC 5.0; serial flash interface supporting x4 and x8 IOs.
• Display and Graphics  Includes MIPI‑DSI display interface support and graphics acceleration (series-level GC7000 NanoULTRA noted in datasheet content).
• Connectivity  Two USB 2.0 ports, multiple serial peripherals including four I2C, four UARTs, two LPSPI, SD 3.0/MMC 5.0, and FlexIO for flexible I/O mapping.
• Security  Secure boot support with crypto/TRNG, eFuses/OTP, secure fuse, and uHAB/HAB secure boot features for device integrity and authenticated start-up.
• Timers and System  Multiple 32-bit general-purpose timers, a 64-bit timer, watchdog timers, and system timers across both domains for real-time control and scheduling.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 393‑VFBGA (14 × 14 mm) surface-mount package; streamlined pin count for simplified system integration.
• Operating Range and Compliance  Consumer-qualified device with operating temperature range from 0 °C to 95 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Power-Sensitive Consumer Devices  Optimized heterogeneous cores offer a balance between rich application processing and low-leakage real-time tasks for handheld and portable consumer products.
• Human-Machine Interfaces  MIPI‑DSI and graphics acceleration support responsive display-driven interfaces and visual experiences under an OS-based application stack.
• Real-Time Control and Sensor Handling  The dedicated Cortex‑M4 real-time domain provides deterministic control for sensor preprocessing, motor control, and timing-critical tasks.
• Secure Embedded Systems  Built-in secure boot and cryptographic engines enable protected device boot and on-board data security for consumer applications.

Unique Advantages

• Heterogeneous Multicore Processing:  Separate application and real-time domains let you run rich OS workloads on the Cortex‑A7 while offloading deterministic tasks to the Cortex‑M4.
• Flexible Performance Scaling:  Multiple run modes including nominal, overdrive, and very-low-power run frequencies enable designers to trade between performance and power consumption.
• Integrated Security Primitives:  Crypto, TRNG, eFuses/OTP and secure boot support help simplify implementation of device authentication and trusted start-up.
• Broad Peripheral Mix:  On-chip USB, MIPI‑DSI, SD/MMC, multiple UART/I2C/SPI, and FlexIO provide versatile connectivity and reduce external component count.
• Compact Footprint:  393‑VFBGA (14×14) package and streamlined pin count facilitate compact board designs and simplified system integration.
• Manufacturer Backing:  Designed and supplied by NXP Semiconductors, aligning with the i.MX 7ULP family specifications for embedded consumer applications.
