MIMX8DL1AVNFZAB

The MIMX8DL1AVNFZAB is a high-integration microprocessor in the i.MX 8DL series designed for embedded and industrial applications. It combines Arm® Cortex®-A35 application cores with an Arm® Cortex®-M4 real-time core to deliver a balanced platform for compute, control and secure connectivity.

This device targets embedded systems requiring mixed application and real-time processing, flexible memory and boot options, and advanced connectivity including Ethernet with AVB and TSN. Security features and V2X acceleration support connected and safety-conscious designs at the edge.

Key Features

• Core architecture  Arm® Cortex®-A35 application cores plus an Arm® Cortex®-M4 real-time core. The Cortex-A35 application core runs at up to 1.2 GHz.
• Memory and boot options  Supports LPDDR4 and DDR3L; FlexSPI (quad or octal), eMMC 5.1, RAW NAND and SD 3.0 are supported for flexible memory and boot configurations. Datasheet-level details include 16-bit LPDDR4 @1200 MHz with inline ECC and 16-bit DDR3L @933 MHz with inline ECC.
• Display  Integrated 18-bit LCDIF display interface controller for moderate-color-depth display applications and HMI implementations.
• Deterministic and networked connectivity  On-chip Ethernet features include AVB and 1 Gb Ethernet with TSN for time-sensitive networking; additional I/O includes PCIe (1-lane, PCIe 3.0 capable), USB 2.0 ports, and multiple CAN/CAN-FD controllers.
• Security and trusted execution  Hardware security features include AHAB, CAAM, SHE, SJC, SNVS, Secure RAM, TRNG and TrustZone (TZ). Also includes a V2X accelerator for vehicle-to-everything processing tasks.
• Rich peripheral set  Comprehensive I/O: PCIe 1-lane, 2× USB 2.0, 3× CAN/CAN-FD, 6× UARTs, 6× I2C, 4× SAI audio interfaces, SPDIF, 6-channel ADC, PWM channels and LPSPI support as detailed in the datasheet.
• Package & mounting  Available in a 388-ball LFBGA/LBGA style package with a 15 × 15 mm footprint; surface-mount device for standard PCB assembly.

Typical Applications

• Industrial gateways and controllers  Use the dual-core A35 plus M4 combination for protocol translation, device aggregation and real-time control in factory and automation environments.
• Secure edge processing  Hardware security blocks and TRNG support secure boot, encryption and edge data protection for connected devices.
• Human–machine interfaces (HMI)  Built-in 18-bit LCD controller and the application cores enable responsive display control and operator interfaces.
• Networked and time-sensitive systems  Ethernet with AVB and TSN plus onboard CAN/CAN-FD make the device suitable for networked control and communication nodes.
• V2X-enabled communications  Integrated V2X acceleration supports vehicle-to-everything communication workloads and related edge processing tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced application and real-time processing: Dual Cortex-A35 cores paired with a Cortex-M4 allow separation of high-level applications and deterministic control tasks without adding external MCUs.
• Flexible memory and boot configurations: Native support for LPDDR4, DDR3L, FlexSPI, eMMC, NAND and SD provides designers options for cost, performance and boot strategy.
• Comprehensive connectivity: Integrated Ethernet with AVB and TSN, PCIe and multiple serial interfaces reduce BOM and simplify system integration for networked devices.
• Hardware security toolbox: On-chip cryptographic accelerators, secure RAM, TRNG and TrustZone assist in implementing secure boot, authentication and encrypted communications.
• Targeted for industrial use cases: Features and peripheral mixes are aligned to industrial applications requiring real-time control, secure edge processing and robust networking.
