Product details
Overview
MCIMX6L7DVN10AB from NXP Semiconductors is an i.MX 6SoloLite applications processor based on a single ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore CPU core operating at 1 GHz, featuring integrated EPD controller (EPDC) for E Ink displays, 256 KB L2 cache, and DDR3-800 memory interface - deployed in entry-level eReaders and barcode scanners requiring low-power, high-resolution monochrome display control.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6L7DVN10AB datasheet, MCIMX6L7DVN10AB pinout, MCIMX6L7DVN10AB application, or MCIMX6L7DVN10AB equivalent, key selection criteria include EPDC support without GPU, 13×13 mm 0.5 mm pitch BGA package, 0°C to +95°C temperature grade, and compatibility with DDR3/LPDDR2, eMMC 4.41, and USB 2.0 OTG interfaces.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6L7DVN10AB implements a single-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore with TrustZone security, 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches per core, and 256 KB unified L2 cache. It integrates dedicated hardware accelerators including PXP (PiXel Processing Pipeline) for grayscale pixel operations and EPDC supporting up to 2048 × 1536 E Ink resolution at 106 Hz refresh.
Power management includes integrated linear regulators (PMU), DVFS support, and software state retention. Memory subsystem supports 16/32-bit DDR3-800 and LPDDR2-800, 128 KB OCRAM, and boot ROM with HABv4 secure boot - all configured for consumer-grade embedded applications with strict thermal and power envelopes.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MCIMX6L7DVN10AB is housed in a 13 × 13 mm, 0.5 mm pitch MAPBGA package with 361 balls (RoHS-compliant, MSL3). Pin assignments follow the standardized i.MX 6SoloLite signal naming convention defined in IMX6SLSRM and EB792.
| 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 (±30 mV) and local decoupling to sustain 1 GHz operation. |
| VDD_SOC | SoC Logic Power Supply | 1.2–1.3 V input for L2 cache, MMDC, and interconnect - supplies majority of digital logic and must be sequenced before VDD_ARM. |
| EPDC_DATA0–EPDC_DATA7 | EPD Panel Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for grayscale waveform data - directly drives E Ink source drivers with programmable timing and polarity control. |
| EPDC_GDSP | EPD Gate Drive Start Pulse | Synchronizes gate line activation across TFT backplane - critical for eliminating ghosting and ensuring uniform pixel update in high-resolution panels. |
| USB_OTG1_DP / USB_OTG1_DM | USB 2.0 Differential Pair | Full-speed/High-speed differential signals - require 90 Ω controlled impedance routing and on-die termination enabled via IOMUXC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| EPDC with PXP acceleration | Hardware-accelerated grayscale rendering pipeline enabling 5-bit E Ink updates at ≤100 ms full-screen latency without CPU load. |
| DVFS with thermal monitoring | Dynamic voltage/frequency scaling coordinated with TEMPMON sensor - maintains performance within 95°C Tj limit while reducing idle power by >40%. |
| Secure Boot (HABv4) | Immutable root-of-trust using eFUSE-programmed keys and SHA-256 signature verification - prevents unauthorized firmware execution at power-on reset. |
| Flexible I/O multiplexing | IOMUXC supports dual-rail GPIO (1.8 V / 3.3 V) and 100+ configurable pad functions - simplifies board design for mixed-voltage peripheral interfacing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6L8DVN10AB | Includes GPU2Dv2 and GPUVGv2 graphics accelerators; otherwise identical CPU, memory, and EPDC specs. | Required for applications needing OpenVG 1.1 vector rendering or 2D BitBLT offload (e.g., animated UIs). | Select MCIMX6L8DVN10AB only if GPU-accelerated UI rendering is mandatory; MCIMX6L7DVN10AB reduces BOM cost and power when EPDC-only functionality suffices. |
| MCIMX6L2DVN10AB | Omits both GPU and EPDC modules; retains same CPU, L2 cache, DDR interface, and temperature grade. | Suitable for general-purpose embedded Linux systems without display output (e.g., headless gateways, sensor concentrators). | Choose MCIMX6L2DVN10AB for non-display applications; MCIMX6L7DVN10AB is the minimal EPDC-enabled variant for E Ink use cases. |
Compared with MCIMX6L8DVN10AB and MCIMX6L2DVN10AB, MCIMX6L7DVN10AB uniquely balances EPD-specific acceleration with zero GPU overhead - optimizing die area, power, and cost for dedicated eReader and ESL platforms where grayscale display fidelity and battery longevity are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported resolution and refresh rate for E Ink displays using MCIMX6L7DVN10AB?
The MCIMX6L7DVN10AB integrates an EPD controller (EPDC) that supports up to 2048 × 1536 resolution at 106 Hz refresh rate for monochrome E Ink panels, and 4096 × 4096 at 20 Hz - with full 5-bit grayscale (32 levels per channel). These capabilities are confirmed in the i.MX 6SoloLite datasheet (IMX6SLCEC, Rev. 6, Section 1.1 and Table 1), and do not require external timing controllers.
Does MCIMX6L7DVN10AB include a GPU, and how does that affect its feature set compared to other i.MX 6SoloLite variants?
No, MCIMX6L7DVN10AB explicitly omits GPU2Dv2 and GPUVGv2 graphics accelerators - as stated in Table 1 of the IMX6SLCEC datasheet. This distinguishes it from MCIMX6L8DVN10AB (which includes both GPUs) and makes MCIMX6L7DVN10AB ideal for EPD-centric applications where GPU resources would add unnecessary silicon area, power, and cost.
What memory types and interfaces are supported by MCIMX6L7DVN10AB for external storage and RAM expansion?
MCIMX6L7DVN10AB supports DDR3-800 and LPDDR2-800 (16/32-bit), NOR Flash, PSRAM, cellular RAM, and managed NAND including eMMC up to revision 4.41 (HS200 mode, 200 MB/s). These interfaces are detailed in Sections 1.2 and 4.10 of the IMX6SLCEC datasheet and validated for operation across the full 0°C to +95°C temperature range.
Is MCIMX6L7DVN10AB compatible with the i.MX 6SoloLite reference designs and software stack (e.g., Yocto Project, Linux BSP)?
Yes, MCIMX6L7DVN10AB shares the same silicon revision, register map, and peripheral IP as other i.MX 6SoloLite variants - and is fully supported by NXP's official Linux BSP (L4.14.98_2.0.0) and Yocto Project releases. The absence of GPU does not impact kernel, bootloader (U-Boot), or EPDC driver compatibility, as confirmed in NXP's i.MX 6SoloLite Software User's Guide (IMX6SLSWG).
What security features are implemented in MCIMX6L7DVN10AB, and are they active by default?
MCIMX6L7DVN10AB includes HABv4 secure boot, TrustZone-enabled memory isolation, SNVS with secure RTC, CSU policy enforcement, and DCP cryptographic acceleration - all implemented in silicon and functional upon power-up. Security features are enabled via eFUSE configuration during manufacturing; default behavior (with fuses unblown) permits open development but locks down upon fuse programming, as documented in the i.MX 6SoloLite Security Reference Manual (IMX6SLSRM).
