Product details
Overview
MCIMX507CVM1BR2 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, dual eCSPI interfaces up to 66 Mbps, 10/100 Ethernet MAC, and support for DDR2/LPDDR2/LPDDR1 DRAM at 266 MHz. It targets cost-sensitive e-reader and industrial HMI designs requiring electrophoretic display control without graphics acceleration.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX507CVM1BR2 datasheet, MCIMX507CVM1BR2 pinout, MCIMX507CVM1BR2 application, or MCIMX507CVM1BR2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 17×17 mm 400-pin MAPBGA package, absence of GPU and EPDC blocks, 1 GHz core frequency, DVFS power management, and compatibility with LPDDR2-533 memory interfaces.
Technical Context
The MCIMX507CVM1BR2 implements an ARM Cortex-A8 core with NEON SIMD and VFPv3 coprocessors, unified 256 KB L2 cache, and a 64-bit AXI fabric operating at 266 MHz. Its memory subsystem supports up to 2 GB external DRAM via 16/32-bit DDR2-533 or LPDDR2-533 interfaces with hardware ECC for NAND.
It integrates dedicated accelerators including ePXP for pixel processing (color-space conversion, alpha blending), SDMA for smart DMA operations, and BCH32 for NAND flash error correction. Clocking uses four PLLs with eight independently controllable outputs, enabling precise timing for display and connectivity modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX507CVM1BR2 core?
The MCIMX507CVM1BR2 operates at a maximum ARM Cortex-A8 core frequency of 1 GHz. This speed is achievable under specified thermal and voltage conditions outlined in the IMX50CEC datasheet Rev. 7, with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) enabling lower frequencies for power-sensitive tasks like audio decode or idle states.
Does the MCIMX507CVM1BR2 include a GPU or electrophoretic display controller?
No, the MCIMX507CVM1BR2 explicitly excludes both the GPU2Dv1 graphics accelerator and the EPDC (electrophoretic display controller). These blocks are disabled per the part number feature comparison in Table 2 of the IMX50CEC datasheet, distinguishing it from the MCIMX508 series and aligning it with cost-optimized e-paper or LCD-only applications.
Which memory types does the MCIMX507CVM1BR2 support?
The MCIMX507CVM1BR2 supports DDR2-533, LPDDR2-533, and LPDDR1-400 DRAM up to 2 GB; NAND Flash (SLC/MLC) with hardware BCH32 ECC; NOR Flash; PSRAM; Cellular RAM; and managed NAND including eMMC 4.4. Memory interface widths and clock rates are defined in Section 4.8 of the IMX50CEC datasheet.
What package type is used for the MCIMX507CVM1BR2?
The MCIMX507CVM1BR2 uses a 17 × 17 mm, 0.8 mm pitch, 400-ball MAPBGA package (Case 400). This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package has Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 and differs from the 416-ball variants by removing DRAM_SDCLK_1, DRAM_A14, DRAM_SDODT1, and UART2_RTS/CTS pins.
How does the MCIMX507CVM1BR2 handle power management for battery-operated devices?
The MCIMX507CVM1BR2 implements Smart Speed™ technology with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), state-retention power gating (SRPG) for the ARM core and NEON, and multiple low-power modes. These features allow system-level power reduction during audio playback or standby, achieving sub-150 mA active current in optimized configurations per IMX50CEC Section 1.1.6.
