Product details
Overview
MCIMX287CVM4B from NXP Semiconductors is an industrial-grade ARM926EJ-S applications processor operating at up to 454 MHz, featuring dual 10/100 Ethernet MACs with integrated L2 switch, two FlexCAN interfaces, and a 14 × 14 mm MAPBGA-289 package. It integrates 128 KB on-chip SRAM, triple-output DC-DC PMU with Li-ion charging, and supports LV-DDR2/DDR2/mDDR memory for embedded HMI and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX287CVM4B datasheet, MCIMX287CVM4B pinout, MCIMX287CVM4B application, or MCIMX287CVM4B equivalent, key selection considerations include its –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating, dual Ethernet + L2 switch capability, 2× CAN 2.0B support, and hardware-accelerated security (AES-128, SHA-1/256, HAB4) for secure boot in field-deployed devices.
Technical Context
The MCIMX287CVM4B implements the ARM926EJ-S core with 16 KB instruction and 32 KB data cache, ETM9 trace, and JTAG debug interface. Its clock architecture uses a 24 MHz crystal input and PLL-based fractional dividers to generate domain-specific clocks for Ethernet, USB, and display subsystems.
It integrates a unified memory controller supporting DDR2 (1.8 V), LV-DDR2 (1.5 V), and mobile DDR (1.8 V) at up to 205 MHz, plus a General-Purpose Media Interface (GPMI) with 8-bit NAND bus and 20-bit BCH ECC for robust flash storage. The L2 Ethernet switch enables deterministic traffic routing between its two RMII/MII-capable MACs without external switching ICs.
Key Specifications
