Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6Q5EYM10AB | Quad-core Cortex-A9 @ 1.2 GHz, 1 MB L2 cache, identical GPU and I/O set but higher thermal envelope (10 W vs. 7.5 W). | Required for applications needing >2 concurrent heavy threads (e.g., simultaneous 4K encode + AI inference). | Select when additional CPU throughput justifies higher power and cooling complexity. |
| MCIMX6SLL6DVN10AB | Single Cortex-A9 @ 1.0 GHz, 256 KB L2 cache, no HDMI PHY, no PCIe, no FlexCAN, EPD controller instead of MIPI-DSI. | Targeted at e-readers and ultra-low-power EPD displays - lacks multimedia and automotive interfaces. | Choose only for cost- and power-constrained EPD applications where dual-core performance and HDMI/MIPI are unnecessary. |
Compared with MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA, the quad-core MCIMX6Q5EYM10AB offers higher thread capacity at increased power, while the single-core MCIMX6SLL6DVN10AB trades multimedia capability for EPD-specific optimization and lower cost - neither is pin-compatible, and both require PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA?
The MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA operates at a maximum CPU frequency of 1.2 GHz across both ARM Cortex-A9 cores. This frequency is sustained under thermal and voltage conditions specified in the NXP i.MX 6DualPlus datasheet (document IMX6DPCEC rev 1.6), with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) enabled for power optimization in varying workload scenarios. The MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA maintains this speed while driving HDMI v1.4 and dual-lane MIPI-DSI simultaneously.
Does the MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA include an integrated HDMI transmitter?
Yes, the MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA integrates a full HDMI v1.4 transmitter with TMDS PHY, supporting up to 1080p60 output without external PHY components. This integration reduces bill-of-materials cost and PCB footprint in automotive head units and digital signage players. The HDMI block supports HDCP 1.4 and deep color (12-bit), and is validated per HDMI compliance test specification v1.4b. The MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA HDMI output is electrically compatible with standard HDMI Type A connectors.
What memory types and widths does the MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA support?
The MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA supports two memory configurations: a 64-bit wide DDR3 interface or dual-channel 32-bit LPDDR2, both operating at up to 533 MHz (1066 MT/s). It does not support LPDDR3 or DDR4. Memory controller timing parameters are configurable via internal registers to match JEDEC-compliant modules. The MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA requires external termination resistors and matched trace lengths for signal integrity - design guidelines are provided in NXP's i.MX 6DualPlus Hardware Development Guide.
Is the MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA is AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified (−40°C to +85°C ambient), with extended temperature screening and reliability testing per automotive standards. It includes built-in ECC for L2 cache and on-die temperature sensors for thermal throttling - features required for infotainment and cluster applications. The MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA is listed in NXP's Automotive Product Selector Guide and supported by AUTOSAR-compliant BSPs and safety manuals for ISO 26262 ASIL-B development.
What GPU is integrated into the MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA?
The MCIMX6DP5EYM1AA integrates the Vivante GC2000 GPU with four unified shader cores, supporting OpenGL ES 2.0/3.0, OpenVG 1.1, and OpenCL 1.1 (full profile). It delivers up to 20 GFLOPS peak compute performance and includes dual 2D graphics engines for hardware-accelerated composition. The GPU shares the same memory space as the CPU cores via the AXI bus, and its drivers are included in NXP's Yocto Project BSP releases.
