Yes, the MCIMX6D5EYM10AC supports LPDDR2-800 in dual x32 channel configuration with interleaving enabled, delivering up to 6.4 GB/s peak bandwidth. It supports 16-bit and 32-bit LPDDR2 devices with 400 MHz clock (800 MT/s), including JEDEC-compliant low-power self-refresh and partial-array self-refresh modes. The MCIMX6D5EYM10AC MMDC controller validates LPDDR2 timing parameters per JESD209-2 specification, with on-die termination and programmable drive strength calibrated per board layout.
How many independent display interfaces does the MCIMX6D5EYM10AC support simultaneously?
The MCIMX6D5EYM10AC supports up to four independent display interfaces concurrently: one parallel RGB (24-bit, up to WUXGA), one LVDS (dual-channel, up to WUXGA), one HDMI 1.4 (1080p60), and one MIPI DSI (2-lane, up to 1 Gbps). These interfaces share bandwidth via the AXI fabric but operate with independent timing controllers and pixel clocks. The MCIMX6D5EYM10AC LDB and IPU subsystems manage synchronization and blending without CPU intervention.
What security features are implemented in hardware on the MCIMX6D5EYM10AC?
The MCIMX6D5EYM10AC integrates CAAM (Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module) with NIST-certified PRNG, 16 KB secure RAM, AES-128/256, SHA-256, and RSA-2048 acceleration; SNVS (Secure Non-Volatile Storage) with tamper-resistant SRTC; CSU (Central Security Unit) enforcing fuse-based security policies; and A-HAB v4 for signed boot image verification. These features are active by default in the MCIMX6D5EYM10AC and require no external security ICs for secure boot or encrypted storage.
Is the MCIMX6D5EYM10AC pin-compatible with other i.MX 6Dual variants such as MCIMX6D7CVT08AC?
Yes, the MCIMX6D5EYM10AC is pin-compatible with MCIMX6D7CVT08AC and all other i.MX 6Dual FCPBGA-624 variants (e.g., MCIMX6D5EYM10AD), sharing identical ball map, power sequencing, and signal definitions per IMX6DQIEC Rev. 6. Mechanical and electrical compatibility allows direct substitution on existing PCBs, though software must be validated for 1.0 GHz timing margins and updated thermal management policies specific to the MCIMX6D5EYM10AC.
