Product details
Overview
MC9328MXLDVP20 from Freescale Semiconductor is an ARM920T™-based applications processor operating at 200 MHz, packaged in a 225-ball MAPBGA (Case 1304B-01), with integrated SDRAM controller, LCD controller, USB Device, MMC/SD host, and multimedia accelerator. It targets portable multimedia devices requiring low-power, high-integration processing with 1.8 V core supply and 1.7–3.3 V I/O flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the MC9328MXLDVP20 datasheet, MC9328MXLDVP20 pinout, MC9328MXLDVP20 application, or MC9328MXLDVP20 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated package mapping, confirmed peripheral integration (USB Device, LCDC, SD host), exact temperature grade (–30°C to +70°C), and real-world design implications for handheld computing and embedded multimedia systems.
Technical Context
The MC9328MXLDVP20 implements the ARM920T™ core with Harvard architecture, MMU, and 16 KB instruction + 16 KB data caches. Its system-level integration includes dual AHB-to-IP bus interfaces (AIPIs), external interface module (EIM) supporting NOR/NAND flash and SRAM, and a DPLL-based clock generation system enabling dynamic frequency scaling and power gating.
It supports multiple memory configurations via its SDRAMC (with RAS/CAS/SDWE/SDCKE control), EIM (with EB0–EB3 byte strobes and DTACK handshake), and dedicated boot logic tied to BOOT[3:0] pins. Peripheral interconnect uses shared signal multiplexing - e.g., ETM trace signals (ETMTRACESYNC, ETMPIPESTAT) share pins with address lines A24–A20 - requiring register-controlled function selection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | ARM920T™ with MMU, 16 KB I-cache + 16 KB D-cache - enables full Linux/RTOS execution with memory protection. |
| Max Core Frequency | 200 MHz at QVDD = 1.8–2.0 V - defines real-time throughput ceiling for multimedia acceleration and UI rendering. |
| Package | 225-ball MAPBGA (Case 1304B-01) - 1.0 mm ball pitch, requires controlled-depth reflow and microvia PCB routing. |
| Operating Temperature | –30°C to +70°C - qualified for industrial-grade portable equipment, excluding extended automotive or outdoor deployment. |
| I/O Voltage Range | 1.7 V to 3.3 V (NVDD) - allows mixed-voltage peripheral interfacing (e.g., 1.8 V SD card + 3.3 V UART transceivers). |
| Integrated Peripherals | USB Device 1.1, LCD Controller (16-bit LD[15:0]), MMC/SD host, SSI/I²S, two UARTs, SPI, I²C, PWM, RTC - eliminates need for discrete interface ICs in handheld designs. |
| Memory Interfaces | SDRAMC (supports 16/32-bit SDRAM), EIM (NOR/NAND/SRAM with CS[5:0], OE, RW, DTACK) - enables boot-from-flash and runtime SDRAM expansion up to 256 MB. |
Pinout & Package
MC9328MXLDVP20 is housed in a 225-ball MAPBGA (Case 1304B-01), with 1.0 mm ball pitch and standard BGA thermal/mechanical footprint. Power delivery is distributed across multiple NVDD/NVSS, QVDD/QVSS, and AVDD pairs to isolate digital, core, and analog domains.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A24 | Address Bus (EIM) | 25-bit multiplexed address for external memory; A[24:0] used in non-SDRAM cycles, MA[9:0] reused for SDRAM row/column addressing. |
| D0–D31 | Data Bus (EIM) | 32-bit bidirectional data path; EB0–EB3 enable byte-wise access to support 8/16-bit peripherals without glue logic. |
| SDCLK, RAS, CAS, SDWE | SDRAM Control | Direct SDRAM timing control signals - no external SDRAM controller required; supports single-cycle command issuance. |
| LD[15:0], FLM/VSYNC, LP/HSYNC | LCD Interface | 16-bit parallel RGB/TFT interface with frame/line sync - drives native-resolution displays up to VGA (640×480) without external timing generator. |
| USBD_VP/VM, USBD_SUSPND | USB Device Physical Layer | Full-speed (12 Mbps) USB 1.1 differential pair + suspend signaling - compliant with USB-IF electrical specs when routed as controlled-impedance differential pair. |
| BOOT[3:0] | Boot Mode Select | Resistor-programmed inputs determining boot source (NOR flash, NAND flash, or serial ROM) - sets initial memory map and reset vector location. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ARM920T™ Core + MMU | Enables full-featured OS execution (Linux, WinCE) with virtual memory management and process isolation - critical for secure multitasking in handhelds. |
| Integrated Multimedia Accelerator (MMA) | Hardware-accelerated video decode (MPEG-4, H.263) and image processing - offloads CPU, reduces power consumption during playback. |
| Dual UARTs with IrDA/Auto-Baud | Supports simultaneous debug console (UART1) and modem/Bluetooth interface (UART2) with automatic baud rate detection - simplifies field-upgrade connectivity. |
| SDRAM Controller with Auto-Refresh | Manages SDRAM initialization, refresh, and burst access transparently - eliminates software overhead and ensures deterministic memory latency. |
| Low-Voltage Core Operation (1.8–2.0 V) | Reduces dynamic power by ~30% vs. 2.5 V cores at same frequency - extends battery life in portable MP3 players and PDAs. |
| Signal Multiplexing with GPIO Override | Each primary function (e.g., SPI1_MOSI) can be reassigned to GPIO via FMCR registers - increases board layout flexibility and enables late-stage feature tuning. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC9328MXLVP20 | Same silicon, identical 225-ball MAPBGA package and 200 MHz speed, but rated for 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. | Not qualified for industrial environments with cold start requirements below 0°C. | Select MC9328MXLVP20 only for cost-sensitive consumer devices operating in climate-controlled settings. |
| i.MX21 ADS | Successor i.MX21-based evaluation platform with ARM926EJ-S core, higher clock (266 MHz), and enhanced security features - not pin-compatible. | Requires full PCB redesign and software porting; lacks native Memory Stick host controller present in MC9328MXLDVP20. | Choose i.MX21 ADS for new designs needing higher performance and future-proofing, not for drop-in replacement. |
Compared with MC9328MXLDVP20, MC9328MXLVP20 offers identical functionality at lower qualification cost but sacrifices cold-temperature operation, while i.MX21 ADS provides architectural upgrades at the expense of hardware/software compatibility - making MC9328MXLDVP20 optimal for maintaining legacy industrial handheld designs with –30°C startup capability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MC9328MXLDVP20?
The MC9328MXLDVP20 is specified for operation from –30°C to +70°C. This industrial-grade temperature range ensures reliable startup and sustained functionality in portable equipment deployed in uncontrolled ambient environments, such as warehouse PDAs or outdoor kiosks, where condensation or cold storage may occur before power-on.
Does MC9328MXLDVP20 support booting from NAND flash?
Yes, MC9328MXLDVP20 supports NAND flash boot via its External Interface Module (EIM) when BOOT[3:0] pins are configured accordingly. The processor includes built-in NAND controller logic and Bad Block Management support, enabling direct execution from NAND without external boot ROM or FPGA glue logic.
What power supply sequencing is required for MC9328MXLDVP20?
MC9328MXLDVP20 requires strict power-up sequencing: QVDD (core) must be stable before NVDD (I/O) and AVDD (analog). Violating this sequence risks latch-up or undefined reset behavior. Freescale application note AN2537 details recommended RC-based sequencing circuits and supervisor IC configurations for robust startup.
Can MC9328MXLDVP20 drive a 24-bit RGB LCD panel?
No, MC9328MXLDVP20's LCD controller supports only 16-bit parallel output (LD[15:0]). Driving a true 24-bit RGB panel requires external LVDS or RGB-to-16-bit dithering circuitry. Its native interface targets TFT panels with 16-bit color depth, such as common QVGA and VGA modules used in early smartphones and media players.
Is the USB interface on MC9328MXLDVP20 a full-speed device-only port?
Yes, MC9328MXLDVP20 integrates a USB 1.1 full-speed (12 Mbps) device controller only - it lacks host capability or high-speed (480 Mbps) support. The USBD_VP/VM pins implement the required differential signaling and meet USB-IF electrical compliance when routed with 90 Ω ±10% impedance and proper ESD protection.
