Product details
Overview
MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR from NXP Semiconductors is a single-core Arm Cortex-A9 applications processor operating at 1 GHz, featuring integrated VPU, GPU2D/GPU3D, and MLB interface-but excluding EPDC-targeting multimedia-rich consumer devices with DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 memory support, HDMI 1.4, dual CAN, and Gigabit Ethernet for IP phones and HMI systems.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR datasheet, MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR pinout, MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR application, or MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR equivalent, key selection considerations include confirmed absence of EPDC, commercial temperature grade (0°C to +95°C), MAPBGA-21x21mm-0.8mm pitch package, 1 GHz core frequency with DVFS, and verified support for USB 2.0 OTG + three HS hosts, MIPI CSI-2/DSI, and PCIe v2.0 x1.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR implements a single Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore with TrustZone, 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, and shared 512 KB L2 cache. It integrates dedicated hardware accelerators including VPU for 1080p video decode/encode, GPU3Dv5 (OpenGL ES 2.0), GPU2Dv2 (BitBlt), and ASRC for multi-channel asynchronous audio sample rate conversion.
Its system architecture includes MMDC for DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 memory interface, GPMI for NAND Flash with BCH up to 40-bit ECC, and dual FlexCAN controllers compliant with ISO 11898-1 at 1 Mbps. Clock management is handled by CCM with multiple PLLs, and power control via GPC with DVFS and SW state retention.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| MLB (MediaLB) Interface | Provides native MOST25/50/150 physical layer connectivity with DTCP cipher acceleration - eliminates need for external bridge IC in automotive infotainment head units |
| Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC) | Supports concurrent conversion of up to 10 audio channels with <−120 dB THD+N - enables mixing of independent clock domains (e.g., HDMI audio + SSI mic input) |
| Secure Boot via A-HABv4 | Implements SHA-256 hash verification, 2048-bit RSA signature check, and version-controlled image loading - prevents unauthorized firmware execution at power-on reset |
| Smart DMA (SDMA) Controller | Offloads memory-to-peripheral transfers (e.g., camera → VPU → DDR) without CPU intervention - reduces CPU utilization by ~35% in video streaming use cases |
Applications
| IP Phones | HMI Terminals |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: VoIP endpoint with HD voice, video conferencing, and touch-enabled GUI running Linux-based SIP stack. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Main applications processor executing RTOS/Linux, managing USB audio, HDMI display, dual CAN for peripheral control, and Gigabit Ethernet for SIP signaling/media transport. Use Value: Integrated VPU enables real-time H.264 SVC encoding at 720p30; GPU3D renders responsive OpenGL ES 2.0 UI; DVFS extends thermal headroom during sustained call + video load. |
Use Scenario: Industrial panel PC for factory floor monitoring, with resistive/capacitive touchscreen, dual CAN for PLC communication, and HDMI output to wall-mounted display. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Central compute engine handling Qt-based GUI, CAN message routing, HDMI video output, and secure OTA firmware updates via CAAM-verified images. Use Value: MLB interface allows direct connection to legacy MOST-based audio subsystems; ASRC synchronizes audio from multiple sensors; SNVS RTC maintains time across power cycles without backup battery. |
| Color eReaders | IPTV Set-Top Boxes |
Use Scenario: E-paper tablet supporting color E Ink displays (1650×2332), local media playback, and Wi-Fi connectivity - but MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR excludes EPDC, so not used here. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Not applicable - EPDC is explicitly omitted in MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR; this part is unsuitable for E Ink controller applications. Use Value: N/A - EPDC functionality is disabled per ordering code '5' (no EPDC), making MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR incompatible with E Ink display subsystems. |
Use Scenario: Consumer IPTV receiver decoding MPEG-2/4, H.264, and HEVC streams, driving HDMI 1.4 output, and supporting USB storage and Ethernet backhaul. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary media SoC performing real-time video decode, audio post-processing via ASRC, HDMI timing generation, and network packet handling via ENET controller. Use Value: VPU handles 1080p60 decode with <50 ms latency; GPU2D overlays EPG graphics onto decoded video; PCIe v2.0 x1 enables optional SATA bridge for local DVR storage expansion. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6S8DVM10AC | Includes EPDC for E Ink display control; otherwise identical CPU, GPU, VPU, and peripheral set | Required for color/monochrome E Ink panels up to 1650×2332; adds 5-bit grayscale rendering capability | Select MCIMX6S8DVM10AC only if E Ink display interface is needed; MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR saves cost and BOM complexity where EPDC is unused |
| MCIMX6U5DVM10AC | Dual-core Arm Cortex-A9 @ 1 GHz; same VPU/GPU/MLB set but adds second CPU core and 64-bit DDR interface | Suited for asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) or virtualization workloads; higher compute throughput but increased power and thermal envelope | Choose MCIMX6U5DVM10AC when >2000 DMIPS or SMP Linux is required; MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR offers optimal cost-performance for single-threaded HMI and media tasks |
Compared with MCIMX6S8DVM10AC, MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR removes EPDC to reduce silicon area and cost while retaining full multimedia and connectivity features; versus MCIMX6U5DVM10AC, it trades dual-core capability for lower static power and simpler thermal design - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained consumer HMI platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR and what clock source constrains it?
The MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR operates at a maximum frequency of 1 GHz. This speed is contingent on using a 24 MHz crystal input to CLKIN_24M - a requirement for USB PHY operation. If that 24 MHz reference is absent, the SoC cannot achieve its rated 1 GHz speed per NXP's IMX6SDLCEC Rev. 9 specification.
Does the MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR support E Ink displays, and how does it differ from MCIMX6S8DVM10AC in this regard?
No, the MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR does not support E Ink displays because it omits the EPDC (E-Paper Display Controller) module. This is explicitly indicated by the '5' in its part number suffix. In contrast, MCIMX6S8DVM10AC includes EPDC and supports color/monochrome E Ink panels up to 1650×2332 resolution with 5-bit grayscale - making it the correct choice for eReader applications.
Which memory types and interfaces are supported by the MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR for external storage and RAM?
The MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR supports 32-bit DDR3, DDR3L, and LPDDR2-800 memory via its MMDC controller, with up to 2 GB addressable capacity. For non-volatile storage, it integrates GPMI for NAND Flash (including MLC/SLC, ONFI 2.2, BCH up to 40-bit ECC), uSDHC for eMMC/SDIO, and WEIM for NOR Flash and PSRAM - all accessible without external glue logic.
What security features are implemented in hardware on the MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR and how are they utilized?
The MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR integrates CAAM for AES-128/256, SHA-256, and RSA-2048 acceleration; SNVS for tamper-resistant RTC and secure key storage; CSU for fuse-based security policy enforcement; and A-HABv4 for authenticated, version-controlled boot. These enable secure boot chain validation, encrypted firmware updates, and DRM-compliant media playback - all without software-only cryptographic overhead.
Can the MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR be used in automotive applications, and what temperature grade does it support?
The MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR is rated for commercial temperature range only (0°C to +95°C junction), as indicated by the 'D' in its part number. It is not qualified for automotive use - which requires the 'A' grade (−40°C to +125°C) covered under the IMX6SDLAEC datasheet. Using MCIMX6S5DVM10ACR in automotive environments voids warranty and violates NXP's thermal and reliability specifications.
