Product details
Overview
MC9328MXLVM20 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is an ARM920T™-based applications processor operating at 200 MHz, featuring integrated SDRAM controller, LCD controller, USB Device, MMC/SD host controller, and multimedia accelerator. It targets portable multimedia devices requiring low-power, high-integration SoC solutions with 1.8 V core and 3.3 V I/O support.
For engineers reviewing the MC9328MXLVM20 datasheet, MC9328MXLVM20 pinout, MC9328MXLVM20 application, or MC9328MXLVM20 equivalent, key selection criteria include 200 MHz ARM920T performance, 225-ball MAPBGA package compatibility, 0°C to 70°C industrial temperature grade, and integrated peripheral support for LCD, USB, SD, and real-time multimedia processing.
Technical Context
The MC9328MXLVM20 implements a full ARM920T microprocessor core with Harvard architecture, MMU, and 16 KB instruction + 16 KB data caches. Its system-level integration includes AHB-to-IP bus interfaces (AIPIs), external interface module (EIM) for NOR/NAND flash and SRAM, and dual clock domains managed by DPLL-based clock and power control.
It supports multiple memory configurations via SDRAMC (with RAS/CAS/SDWE/SDCKE signals), boot mode selection via BOOT[3:0], and debug visibility through JTAG (TRST/TDO/TDI/TCK) and ETM trace pins multiplexed on address/data lines. Power management enables dynamic voltage scaling between 1.8 V and 2.0 V core supply depending on frequency operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| i.MX21ADS | Same ARM920T core but higher integration: integrated USB OTG PHY, enhanced security features, and updated silicon revision (Rev. 1.1 vs Rev. 8) | Designed for secure mobile platforms; supports USB host/device switching and cryptographic acceleration not present in MC9328MXLVM20 | Select i.MX21ADS when USB OTG capability, hardware crypto, or extended lifecycle support is required |
| MC9328MX1LVK | 150 MHz variant in same 225-MAPBGA package; identical peripheral set and pinout; lower core voltage (1.7–1.9 V) and reduced power consumption | Targeted for cost-sensitive or battery-limited applications where 200 MHz performance is unnecessary | Choose MC9328MX1LVK if system throughput requirements are met below 150 MHz and thermal/power budgets are tighter |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9328MXLVM20?
The MC9328MXLVM20 operates at a maximum frequency of 200 MHz. This rating is validated under the recommended operating conditions of 1.8 V to 2.0 V core supply (QVDD) and 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. The ARM920T™ core achieves this speed with full cache and MMU functionality enabled, as confirmed in Freescale's MC9328MXL Technical Data Rev. 8.
Does the MC9328MXLVM20 support USB host functionality?
No, the MC9328MXLVM20 only implements a USB 2.0 Device controller (not OTG or host). It provides USBD_VP/VM, USBD_SUSPND, USBD_RCV, and USBD_ROE signals for full-speed (12 Mbps) peripheral-mode operation. External USB host capability requires a separate USB host controller IC or companion chip interfaced via UART, SPI, or SDIO.
What package type and ball count does the MC9328MXLVM20 use?
The MC9328MXLVM20 uses a 225-contact Mold Array Process Ball Grid Array (MAPBGA) package, designated Case 1304B-01. It features a 13 × 13 ball array with 1.0 mm pitch and is mechanically and electrically compatible with other MC9328MXL variants offered in the same 225-MAPBGA option, including MC9328MXLVP20.
Can the MC9328MXLVM20 boot from NAND flash memory?
Yes, the MC9328MXLVM20 supports NAND flash boot via its External Interface Module (EIM). When BOOT[3:0] is configured to select NAND mode, the processor initializes execution from NAND flash using hardware ECC and ready/busy handshaking. This capability is documented in Section 4.2.2 ("NAND Flash Boot") of the MC9328MXL Reference Manual.
What are the supported I/O voltage levels for the MC9328MXLVM20?
The MC9328MXLVM20 supports configurable I/O voltage levels from 1.7 V to 3.3 V across four independent NVDD domains (NVDD1–NVDD4). Peripherals such as USB Device, SD/MMC, and LCD operate at 3.3 V, while general-purpose GPIO and SPI may run at 1.8 V to reduce power-enabling mixed-voltage system design without external level shifters.
