MIMX8MN5CVPIZAA

The MIMX8MN5CVPIZAA is an industrial-grade application processor from the i.MX 8MN family that combines a quad Arm® Cortex®-A53 application cluster with a Cortex®-M7 for real-time tasks. With Cortex‑A53 cores operating up to 1.4 GHz and a Cortex‑M7 core for real-time and low-power processing, the device targets embedded and industrial applications requiring balanced compute performance, multimedia capabilities, and robust security.

This member of the i.MX 8M Nano series delivers integrated multimedia and audio interfaces, flexible memory controller support, and a compact 306‑TFBGA (11×11) surface-mount package for space-constrained designs operating across an extended temperature range.

Key Features

• Core architecture  Quad Arm® Cortex®-A53 application cores up to 1.4 GHz plus a Cortex®-M7 core (up to 750 MHz as documented in the series datasheet) for real-time and low-power tasks.
• Multimedia acceleration  Integrated multimedia co-processors and NEON™ MPE support for accelerated media processing and DSP-class workloads.
• Memory support  On-chip RAM controllers compatible with DDR3L, DDR4 and LPDDR4 memory types to match a range of system performance and power targets.
• Display and camera interfaces  Display controllers include LCD, MIPI-DSI, and MIPI-CSI support to drive screens and capture camera input for HMI and vision use cases.
• Audio and peripheral interfaces  Wide audio peripheral set including AC'97 and additional audio interfaces documented for the series (I2S, TDM, S/PDIF in the series datasheet), plus general-purpose peripheral support.
• Connectivity  Integrated Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and a USB 2.0 OTG controller with PHY (1) for networked and USB-enabled embedded systems.
• Security  Hardware security features including ARM TrustZone (ARM TZ), CAAM, HAB, OCRAM, RDC, SJC and SNVS for secure boot, cipher acceleration and system-level protection.
• Package and mounting  306‑TFBGA supplier device package (11×11 mm) with surface-mount mounting suitable for compact industrial boards.
• Industrial qualification and operating range  Qualified for industrial applications with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C.

Typical Applications

• Industrial HMI and control panels  Drives graphical user interfaces and display pipelines using integrated LCD and MIPI-DSI controllers while handling application logic on the Cortex‑A53 cores.
• Audio and multimedia devices  Supports a broad set of audio interfaces and multimedia acceleration for networked audio, codecs and media playback implementations.
• Edge compute and vision  Combines MIPI‑CSI camera input and multimedia processing engines for lightweight vision and edge processing tasks.
• Ethernet-connected embedded systems  Integrated GbE and USB OTG make the device suitable for networked industrial gateways, instrumentation and connected appliances.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced heterogeneous processing  Dual-class cores (Cortex‑A53 + Cortex‑M7) allow partitioning of application and real-time workloads without additional MCUs.
• Integrated multimedia and audio  On-chip multimedia acceleration and a wide range of audio interfaces reduce external component count for media-rich products.
• Flexible memory options  Support for DDR3L, DDR4 and LPDDR4 enables designers to optimize for cost, performance or power.
• Industrial-temperature qualification  Specified operation from −40 °C to 105 °C supports deployments in harsh and industrial environments.
• Comprehensive hardware security  Multiple security engines and secure-boot features in the silicon help simplify secure system design and protect IP and data.
• Compact surface-mount package  The 306‑TFBGA (11×11) package provides a small footprint for space-constrained embedded boards.
