FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed operating frequency of MCIMX6D4AVT10AC under industrial temperature conditions?
The MCIMX6D4AVT10AC is specified for 1.0 GHz operation across its full industrial junction temperature range of −40°C to +105°C when using the required 24 MHz reference clock. Note that USB functionality mandates limiting SoC speed to ≤792 MHz; this is a hard constraint defined in the IMX6DQIEC datasheet Rev. 6, Section 1.1.
Does MCIMX6D4AVT10AC support HDMI 2.0 or only HDMI 1.4?
MCIMX6D4AVT10AC supports HDMI 1.4 only, as confirmed in the i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Applications Processors for Industrial Products datasheet (IMX6DQIEC Rev. 6, Section 1.2). It delivers up to 1080p60 RGB/YUV444 output with HDCP 1.4 compliance but lacks HDMI 2.0 features such as 4K resolution, HDR metadata, or enhanced audio return channel (eARC).
Can MCIMX6D4AVT10AC boot directly from eMMC 4.5 without external SPI NOR flash?
Yes, MCIMX6D4AVT10AC supports eMMC 4.41/4.5 boot via its uSDHC controllers, as documented in Section 5.2 of IMX6DQIEC Rev. 6. Boot mode configuration pins (BOOT_MODE[1:0]) must be set to 0b10, and the eMMC must contain a valid boot partition with SPL and U-Boot. No external SPI NOR is required if eMMC boot is fully implemented.
What is the exact package type and ball count for MCIMX6D4AVT10AC?
MCIMX6D4AVT10AC uses a lidded FCPBGA package measuring 21 mm × 21 mm with 0.8 mm ball pitch and 521 I/O balls, as specified in Section 6.2 of IMX6DQIEC Rev. 6. This matches the mechanical footprint and thermal profile of other i.MX 6Dual/6Quad industrial variants like MCIMX6D7CVT08AC.
Which hardware security modules are integrated into MCIMX6D4AVT10AC and what certifications do they hold?
MCIMX6D4AVT10AC integrates CAAM (Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module) with NIST-certified DRBG (validation #94) and SHS (validation #1455), SNVS (Secure Non-Volatile Storage) with SRTC, CSU (Central Security Unit), and A-HABv4 (Advanced High Assurance Boot). These collectively enable secure boot, AES-256 encryption, SHA-256 hashing, and tamper-resistant key storage per i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Security Reference Manual (IMX6DQ6SDLSRM).
