Product details
Overview
MCIMX507CVM1B from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 applications processor optimized for portable multimedia systems with no integrated GPU. It features 256 KB L2 cache, support for DDR2/LPDDR2/LPDDR1 up to 266 MHz, and integrated ePXP pixel processing pipeline. It targets low-power consumer electronics requiring high-performance display control without graphics acceleration.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX507CVM1B datasheet, MCIMX507CVM1B pinout, MCIMX507CVM1B application, or MCIMX507CVM1B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 17×17 mm 400-pin MAPBGA package, absence of GPU and EPDC blocks, operation in 0–70°C ambient, and compatibility with i.MX50 family I/O multiplexing and power management architecture.
Technical Context
The MCIMX507CVM1B implements Freescale's Smart Speed™ technology with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), enabling efficient operation across audio decode, UI rendering, and video playback workloads. Its AXI-based 64-bit system fabric operates at 266 MHz and integrates dedicated hardware accelerators including ePXP (1 pixel/clock) and SDMA for offloading pixel and data movement tasks.
It uses a multilevel memory hierarchy comprising 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, 256 KB unified L2 cache, on-chip ROM (96 KB with HAB4), and 128 KB OCRAM. External memory support includes 16/32-bit DDR2-533, LPDDR2-533, LPDDR1-400 (up to 2 GB), NAND Flash with 32-bit ECC, and eMMC 4.4 via eSDHCv3-3 port.

Pinout & Package
MCIMX507CVM1B is housed in a 17×17 mm, 0.8 mm pitch, 400-ball MAPBGA package (Case 400). This package removes DRAM_SDCLK_1, DRAM_SDCLK_1_B, DRAM_A14, DRAM_SDODT1, UART2_CTS, and UART2_RTS versus the 416-pin variant, and provides independent USB OTG/host analog supplies (USB_OTG_VDDA25/33 and USB_H1_VDDA25/33).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_ARM | ARM Core Power Supply | 1.0–1.3 V supply for Cortex-A8 core - requires tight regulation and low-noise filtering for stable 1 GHz operation. |
| VDD_SOC | SoC Logic Power Supply | 1.0–1.3 V supply for L2 cache, interconnect, and peripheral logic - shared rail with ARM core in many designs. |
| VDD_DRAM | DRAM Controller Power | 1.2 V supply for DDR2/LPDDR2 interface - must meet JEDEC timing specs for reliable high-speed memory access. |
| BOOT_MODE[1:0] | Boot Configuration Pins | Determines boot source (NAND, eMMC, SPI NOR) at reset - pulled high/low via external resistors to configure initial firmware load path. |
| USB_OTG_ID | OTG Role Detection | Identifies host/peripheral role in USB OTG mode - used with internal comparator to enable dual-role functionality without external switch. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No GPU integration | Reduces die area and power consumption by ~150 mW typical - enables longer battery life in display-centric but non-graphics-heavy applications. |
| ePXP pixel accelerator | Hardware-accelerated color-space conversion and alpha blending - eliminates CPU cycles for UI compositing and enables smooth 60 Hz updates on SXGA+ (1400×1050) LCDs. |
| EPDC block disabled | Removes electrophoretic display controller logic - simplifies layout and software stack for standard LCD-only designs while retaining full pin compatibility with i.MX508. |
| Four independent PLLs | Enables precise clock domain isolation - allows independent scaling of display, USB, Ethernet, and memory clocks to minimize EMI and optimize power. |
| HAB4 secure boot | SHA-256 + 2048-bit RSA signature verification - ensures only authenticated firmware executes, preventing unauthorized code injection during field updates. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX507CVK1B | Same core, GPU-disabled, but in 13×13 mm 416-pin MAPBGA (0.5 mm pitch) - lacks USB supply independence and has different DRAM pin allocation. | Preferred for space-constrained designs where PCB layer count limits routing of 400-ball BGA; lower thermal mass suits fanless enclosures. | Select when board area is critical and USB analog supply separation is not required. |
| MCIMX503CVM8B | 800 MHz ARM Cortex-A8, no EPDC, same 400-pin MAPBGA - lower max frequency and no GPU, but retains full ePXP and memory interface capability. | Better suited for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained applications where 1 GHz headroom is unnecessary - e.g., static display terminals with infrequent UI updates. | Choose when thermal budget or BOM cost outweighs peak performance needs; identical footprint enables drop-in replacement with frequency derating. |
Compared with MCIMX507CVM1B, MCIMX507CVK1B offers identical functionality in a denser package but sacrifices USB supply isolation and DRAM flexibility, while MCIMX503CVM8B trades 200 MHz peak frequency for lower power and cost - both maintain full software compatibility and pin-level interoperability within the i.MX50 family.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX507CVM1B?
The MCIMX507CVM1B operates at a maximum ARM Cortex-A8 core frequency of 1 GHz under specified thermal and voltage conditions. This frequency is achieved using Freescale's Smart Speed™ technology and dynamic voltage/frequency scaling (DVFS), which adjusts supply voltage and clock rate based on workload to optimize power efficiency without compromising real-time responsiveness in the MCIMX507CVM1B.
Does the MCIMX507CVM1B include a GPU?
No, the MCIMX507CVM1B does not include a GPU. Per Freescale's part number feature comparison (Table 2), "MCIMX507" is explicitly defined as having the GPU disabled. The MCIMX507CVM1B retains the ePXP pixel processing pipeline and 2D display acceleration capabilities but omits the GPU2Dv1 block present in MCIMX508 variants - making it suitable for applications requiring strong UI rendering but not complex vector graphics or OpenVG acceleration.
What package type is used for the MCIMX507CVM1B?
The MCIMX507CVM1B uses a 400-pin MAPBGA package with 17×17 mm dimensions and 0.8 mm ball pitch (Case 400). This package differs from the 416-pin variants by removing six pins - including DRAM_SDCLK_1, DRAM_A14, and UART2 handshake signals - and provides independent USB OTG/host analog power supplies, improving noise isolation for high-speed USB operation in the MCIMX507CVM1B.
Which display controllers are active in the MCIMX507CVM1B?
The MCIMX507CVM1B includes the enhanced LCD interface controller (eLCDIF) and the enhanced pixel processing pipeline (ePXP), but excludes the electrophoretic display controller (EPDC). As confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet, "MCIMX507" disables only the GPU - while EPDC remains enabled in MCIMX507 parts. However, the MCIMX507CVM1B specifically inherits the "No GPU" feature set and retains full eLCDIF and ePXP functionality for standard LCD applications.
What memory types does the MCIMX507CVM1B support?
The MCIMX507CVM1B supports DDR2, LPDDR2, and LPDDR1 DRAM up to 266 MHz (533 MT/s), NAND Flash with hardware 32-bit ECC, NOR Flash, PSRAM, Cellular RAM, and managed NAND including eMMC 4.4. Its DRAM memory controller supports 16/32-bit interfaces and up to 2 GB total capacity. These memory options are fully documented in Section 1.1.5 and Table 4 of the i.MX50CEC datasheet for the MCIMX507CVM1B.
