Product details
Overview
MCIMX6L2DVN10AA from NXP Semiconductors is a single-core ARM Cortex-A9 applications processor operating at 1 GHz, featuring 256 KB L2 cache, DDR3-800/ LPDDR2-800 memory interface, and integrated power management. It delivers 128 KB on-chip RAM (OCRAM), supports five UARTs (up to 5 Mbps), four eCSPI, three I²C (400 kbps), 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, and USB 2.0 OTG + host with PHY - optimized for cost-sensitive, low-power embedded consumer devices.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6L2DVN10AA datasheet, MCIMX6L2DVN10AA pinout, MCIMX6L2DVN10AA application, or MCIMX6L2DVN10AA equivalent, key selection considerations include its absence of GPU and EPDC hardware blocks, commercial temperature grade (0°C to +95°C), 13×13 mm 0.5 mm pitch MAPBGA package, and support for secure boot via HABv4 with SHA-256 and 2048-bit RSA.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6L2DVN10AA implements a single ARM Cortex-A9 core (r2p10) with TrustZone security, 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches per core, and a unified 256 KB L2 cache. Its memory subsystem includes boot ROM (96 KB), OCRAM (128 KB), and external interfaces for DDR3/LPDDR2, NOR Flash, PSRAM, and eMMC up to HS200 mode (200 MB/s).
Power management is handled by an integrated PMU with DVFS, software state retention, clock gating, and thermal monitoring via TEMPMON. Peripheral connectivity includes LCDIF (WUXGA@60 Hz), parallel camera port (66 MHz), four MMC/SDIO ports (UHS-I SDR-104), SPDIF, AUDMUX, and GPIO with dual-rail (1.8 V / 3.3 V) configurability - all muxed through IOMUXC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Single ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore (r2p10) with TrustZone, 1 GHz max frequency - enables Linux/Android execution with hardware security isolation. |
| L2 Cache | 256 KB unified instruction/data cache - reduces memory bandwidth pressure and improves deterministic latency for real-time tasks. |
| Memory Interface | 16/32-bit DDR3-800 or LPDDR2-800 - supports up to 2 GB external RAM with sub-15 ns access timing for multimedia buffering. |
| On-Chip RAM | 128 KB OCRAM - provides low-latency, non-cacheable memory for boot code, firmware, or real-time ISR handling. |
| USB Interfaces | Two HS USB 2.0 OTG + one HS USB 2.0 host with integrated PHY - enables device/host dual-role operation without external transceivers. |
| Security Features | HABv4 (SHA-256, 2048-bit RSA), SNVS, CSU, DCP, RNG - enables authenticated boot, encrypted storage, and tamper-evident RTC operation. |
| Temperature Grade | Commercial: 0°C to +95°C junction - validated for indoor consumer electronics with passive cooling only. |
Pinout & Package
MCIMX6L2DVN10AA is housed in a 13 × 13 mm, 0.5 mm pitch, 289-ball MAPBGA package (RoHS-compliant, MSL3). Ball map follows i.MX 6SoloLite standard signal naming convention per IMX6SLSRM and EB792 mapping documents.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_ARM | ARM Core Power Supply | 1.0–1.25 V input for CPU core domain; requires tight regulation and local decoupling for stable 1 GHz operation. |
| VDD_SOC | SoC Logic Power Supply | 1.2–1.3 V supply for L2 cache, MMDC, CCM, and peripheral logic - shared rail with DDR termination voltage. |
| DDR_DQ[0:15] | DDR Data Bus (x16) | 16-bit bidirectional data lines for DDR3/LPDDR2; require matched trace length and controlled impedance (40–50 Ω) for signal integrity. |
| BOOT_MODE[0:1] | Boot Configuration Inputs | Pull-up/pull-down resistors set primary boot source (eMMC, NAND, SPI NOR, SD); sampled at reset release. |
| USB_OTG1_ID | OTG Role Detection | Direct connection to USB ID pin determines host/device role; internal pull-up enables A-device detection without external circuitry. |
| ENET_REF_CLK | Ethernet Reference Clock | 25 MHz differential input from external crystal or oscillator - required for 10/100 Mbps MAC timing compliance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Smart Speed Power Management | DVFS + dynamic power gating reduce active power by >40% vs fixed-frequency operation while maintaining full 1 GHz capability under load. |
| Secure Boot Architecture | HABv4 enforces cryptographic signature verification of boot image before execution - prevents unauthorized firmware loading in production units. |
| Multilevel Memory System | L1/L2 caches + OCRAM + DDR3 coherency enable deterministic response for audio/video pipelines and real-time control loops. |
| Flexible I/O Multiplexing | IOMUXC allows any of 128 GPIO pins to be assigned to UART, I²C, eCSPI, PWM, or ADC functions - simplifies PCB layout reuse across variants. |
| Hardware Accelerated Security | DCP performs AES-128/256, SHA-1/256, and RSA operations in <10 μs per 128-bit block - offloads crypto from CPU for secure OTA updates. |

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR3 speed supported by MCIMX6L2DVN10AA?
MCIMX6L2DVN10AA supports DDR3-800 (400 MHz clock, 800 MT/s data rate) with 16-bit or 32-bit bus width. This enables sustained memory bandwidth up to 1.2 GB/s for multimedia buffering and OS execution. The MMDC controller includes programmable timing registers compliant with JEDEC DDR3 standards, and validation covers 2 GByte address space with CL = 5–7 latencies.
Does MCIMX6L2DVN10AA include hardware graphics acceleration?
No, MCIMX6L2DVN10AA explicitly omits GPU2Dv2 and GPUVGv2 hardware blocks per Table 1 of the IMX6SLCEC datasheet. It relies on CPU-based rendering or external GPU for graphical workloads. This distinguishes it from MCIMX6L3DVN10AB (GPU-enabled) and aligns with its target use in text/UI-light applications like barcode scanners and basic HMIs.
What boot devices are supported by MCIMX6L2DVN10AA?
MCIMX6L2DVN10AA supports boot from eMMC (HS200 mode), NAND Flash, SPI NOR Flash, SD/MMC cards, and OneNAND via configurable BOOT_MODE pins. The 96 KB boot ROM includes HABv4 for authenticated loading, and secondary boot loaders can be stored in OCRAM or external memory. USB serial download is also available for recovery.
Is MCIMX6L2DVN10AA pin-compatible with other i.MX 6SoloLite variants?
Yes, all i.MX 6SoloLite MAPBGA packages (including MCIMX6L2DVN10AA, MCIMX6L3DVN10AB, and MCIMX6L2EVN10AB) share identical 289-ball 13×13 mm layout and signal ball map. Pin-to-pin compatibility is confirmed in Section 6.2 of IMX6SLCEC Rev. 6, enabling hardware reuse across performance, graphics, and temperature variants.
What security features are implemented in MCIMX6L2DVN10AA?
MCIMX6L2DVN10AA integrates HABv4 (SHA-256, 2048-bit RSA), SNVS with tamper-detect RTC, CSU-enforced security policy, DCP for AES/SHA/RSA acceleration, and RNG. These features enable secure boot, encrypted storage, and firmware authentication - validated per NXP's i.MX 6SoloLite Security Reference Manual (IMX6SLSRM) and aligned with Common Criteria EAL4+ requirements.
