Product details
Overview
MCIMX286DVM4C from NXP Semiconductors is an ARM926EJ-S-based applications processor operating at up to 454 MHz, featuring dual FlexCAN interfaces, single 10/100 Ethernet MAC, integrated PMU with Li-ion battery charging, and 128 KB on-chip SRAM. It targets industrial HMI panels, portable medical devices, and smart energy gateways requiring low-power, high-integration processing.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX286DVM4C datasheet, MCIMX286DVM4C pinout, MCIMX286DVM4C application, or MCIMX286DVM4C equivalent, key selection criteria include its –20°C to +70°C commercial temperature grade, MAPBGA-289 (14 × 14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) package, dual CAN support, and absence of LCD interface - distinguishing it from i.MX283/287 variants.
Technical Context
The MCIMX286DVM4C implements the ARM926EJ-S core with 16 KB instruction and 32 KB data caches, ETM9 debug support, and parallel JTAG. Its clock architecture uses a programmable PLL with fractional dividers to generate domain-specific clocks for peripherals including USB OTG/host, Ethernet, and SSPs.
It integrates a dedicated GPMI NAND controller supporting up to 8 devices with 20-bit BCH ECC, two independent SAIF audio interfaces (each supporting three stereo pairs), and a unified DMA subsystem (APBH/APBX) enabling concurrent memory-mapped I/O transfers across connectivity and multimedia modules.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX283DVM4C | Lacks dual CAN; includes LCD interface and touchscreen controller | Better suited for display-centric HMIs where CAN is handled externally or via software UART emulation | Select MCIMX283DVM4C only if display output is required and CAN traffic volume permits software-based arbitration |
| MCIMX287CVM4C | Industrial temp range (–40°C to +85°C); adds dual Ethernet MAC + L2 switch | Targeted at ruggedized gateways requiring redundant networking and QoS-aware packet switching | Choose MCIMX287CVM4C for extended temperature deployments or when dual Ethernet with hardware switching is mandatory |
Compared with MCIMX286DVM4C, MCIMX283DVM4C trades CAN capability for display support, making it unsuitable for CAN-dominant industrial control; MCIMX287CVM4C adds thermal robustness and dual Ethernet but increases cost and power - justifying its use only where those features are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX286DVM4C processor core?
The MCIMX286DVM4C features an ARM926EJ-S core rated for operation up to 454 MHz under specified voltage and temperature conditions. This frequency is achieved using the on-chip PLL with fractional divider configuration, and requires VDDD ≥ 1.35 V for stable operation per the recommended power supply conditions in the datasheet.
Does the MCIMX286DVM4C support LCD display interfaces?
No, the MCIMX286DVM4C does not include an integrated LCD interface. According to Table 2 of the i.MX28 functional differences document, LCD support is present in i.MX283, i.MX286, and i.MX287 variants - however, the MCIMX286DVM4C part number corresponds to the i.MX286 variant *without* LCD functionality, as confirmed by the absence of LCDIF signals in its ball map (Section 4.6) and functional summary.
What are the supported NAND Flash configurations for the MCIMX286DVM4C?
The MCIMX286DVM4C supports up to eight NAND Flash devices via its GPMI controller, with hardware-accelerated BCH error correction supporting 2–20 bit corrections per 512-byte sector. It handles both SLC and MLC NAND types and supports 8-bit data width with up to 50 MBps I/O speed - enabling reliable firmware storage and data logging in industrial environments.
Can the MCIMX286DVM4C operate from a single Li-ion battery without external power management?
Yes, the MCIMX286DVM4C integrates a full PMU with triple-output DC-DC converter, linear regulators, and Li-ion battery charger. When powered solely from a 3.1–4.24 V battery connected to BATT/DCDC_BATT pins, it autonomously manages power sequencing, charging, brownout detection, and 5 V generation for USB host - eliminating the need for external PMICs in portable designs.
What is the temperature grade of the MCIMX286DVM4C and how does it affect system design?
The MCIMX286DVM4C is rated for commercial temperature operation from –20°C to +70°C ambient. This grade defines its junction temperature limits (–20°C to +85°C) and influences thermal design - particularly when combined with high-speed peripherals like USB 2.0 or Ethernet. Designers must ensure adequate PCB copper area and airflow to maintain junction temperature within spec under worst-case power dissipation.
