Product details
Overview
MC9328MXLCVM15R2 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an ARM920T™-based applications processor operating at 150 MHz, featuring integrated SDRAM controller, LCD controller, USB Device, MMC/SD host controller, and multimedia accelerator. It supports 1.7–1.9 V core voltage and 1.7–3.3 V I/O voltage, and targets portable multimedia devices requiring rich UI, low-power operation, and peripheral integration.
For engineers reviewing the MC9328MXLCVM15R2 datasheet, MC9328MXLCVM15R2 pinout, MC9328MXLCVM15R2 application, or MC9328MXLCVM15R2 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to MAPBGA–225, functional role in embedded multimedia systems, and validated alternative options for industrial design continuity.
Technical Context
The MC9328MXLCVM15R2 implements a full ARM920T™ core with MMU, Harvard instruction/data caches, and integrated AHB-to-IP bus interfaces (AIPIs). Its system architecture includes dedicated modules for real-time video capture (CSI), display output (LCD), audio streaming (SSI/I²S), and secure storage (MMC/SD, Memory Stick®), all coordinated via a centralized DMA controller and programmable power management unit.
It operates across –40°C to +85°C with dual-voltage domains: QVDD (core logic) at 1.7–1.9 V for 150 MHz operation, and NVDD (I/O) configurable between 1.7–3.3 V depending on peripheral usage-enabling direct interfacing with 3.3 V peripherals like SD cards and USB transceivers while maintaining low-core-power efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | ARM920T™ with MMU, 16 KB I-cache, 16 KB D-cache - enables Linux/RTOS execution with memory protection and efficient instruction fetch. |
| Max Operating Frequency | 150 MHz - confirmed for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) per ordering code CVM15; not rated for 200 MHz at this grade. |
| Core Supply Voltage (QVDD) | 1.7 V to 1.9 V - defines minimum power delivery requirements for stable 150 MHz operation under full thermal load. |
| I/O Supply Voltage (NVDD) | 1.7 V to 3.3 V - supports mixed-voltage system design; 3.3 V required when using USB Device, MMC/SD, CSI, or LCD interfaces. |

| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for extended industrial environments including automotive infotainment and ruggedized handhelds. |
| Integrated Peripherals | USB Device 1.1, LCD Controller (16-bit parallel), CSI (8-bit parallel), SSI/I²S, MMC/SD host, Memory Stick® host, UART×2, SPI×2, I²C, PWM, RTC - eliminates need for external bridge ICs in multimedia terminals. |
Pinout & Package
MC9328MXLCVM15R2 is housed in a 225-ball MAPBGA (Mold Array Process–Ball Grid Array), Case 1304B-01, with 1.0 mm ball pitch and 13 × 13 mm footprint. Power and signal balls are grouped by supply domain (QVDD/QVSS, NVDD1–NVDD4/NVSS, AVDD) to support noise-isolated multi-rail PCB design.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| i.MX21 (MC9328MX21CVM15) | Successor i.MX family part with ARM926EJ-S core, higher clock (266 MHz), enhanced security features, and updated peripheral set (e.g., USB OTG). | Requires PCB redesign due to different pinout and power sequencing; supports newer OS versions and cryptographic acceleration. | Select when upgrading legacy i.MXL designs needing higher performance, security, or long-term availability beyond MC9328MXL end-of-life. |
| AM3352 (Texas Instruments) | ARM Cortex-A8 core, 1 GHz operation, PRU-ICSS for real-time I/O, DDR2/DDR3 support, and broader peripheral integration (e.g., Ethernet MAC, CAN). | Not pin-compatible; demands new layout, bootloader, and driver stack; suited for next-generation industrial gateways or HMIs. | Choose for greenfield designs requiring higher compute throughput, deterministic real-time I/O, or modern interface support (e.g., Gigabit Ethernet). |
Compared with i.MX21 and AM3352, the MC9328MXLCVM15R2 offers proven stability in cost-sensitive, thermally constrained portable designs where 150 MHz ARM9 performance, integrated LCD/USB/SD, and industrial temperature support are sufficient-without requiring architectural migration or layout rework.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed operating frequency of MC9328MXLCVM15R2?
The MC9328MXLCVM15R2 is rated for 150 MHz operation across its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). While the same silicon may run at 200 MHz in commercial-grade variants (e.g., MC9328MXLVM20R2), the CVM15 suffix explicitly denotes qualification and warranty only up to 150 MHz under extended thermal conditions.
Does MC9328MXLCVM15R2 support boot from SD card?
Yes, the MC9328MXLCVM15R2 supports boot from SD card via its integrated MMC/SD host controller when configured in appropriate boot mode (e.g., BOOT[3:0] = 0b0101). The ROM bootloader initializes the SD interface, loads the first-stage loader from FAT16 partition, and transfers execution-enabling field-upgradable firmware without NAND flash.
What power supply sequencing is required for MC9328MXLCVM15R2?
MC9328MXLCVM15R2 requires strict power-up sequencing: QVDD (core) must stabilize before NVDD (I/O) and AVDD (analog); QVSS must be established before QVDD. Power-down follows reverse order. This is enforced by internal power-on reset circuitry but must be implemented externally using sequenced regulators or supervisor ICs per AN2537.
Is the USB interface on MC9328MXLCVM15R2 a full-speed device-only port?
Yes, the MC9328MXLCVM15R2 integrates a USB 1.1 full-speed (12 Mbps) device controller with on-die transceiver. It does not support host mode or high-speed operation. All USB signaling (USBD_VP/VM, USBD_SUSPND, USBD_RCV) is routed to dedicated pins and requires no external PHY for basic HID or CDC-class operation.
Can MC9328MXLCVM15R2 drive a 480×272 TFT LCD directly?
Yes, the integrated LCD controller supports 16-bit parallel RGB interface and programmable timing registers compatible with common 480×272 panels. It provides LD[15:0], FLM/VSYNC, LP/HSYNC, LSCLK, and contrast control signals-eliminating need for external timing generator or level shifters when powered with matched NVDD (3.3 V).
