Product details
Overview
MCIMX6S8DVM10AC from NXP Semiconductors is a single-core Arm Cortex-A9 applications processor operating at 1 GHz, featuring integrated VPU, GPU, EPDC, and MLB interfaces, 512 KB L2 cache, and support for DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 memory - deployed in consumer-grade HMI, eReaders, and IP phones.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6S8DVM10AC datasheet, MCIMX6S8DVM10AC pinout, MCIMX6S8DVM10AC application, or MCIMX6S8DVM10AC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1 GHz single-core performance, E-INK display controller (EPDC) with 1650×2332 resolution support, dual CAN 2.0B ports, HDMI 1.4 output, and commercial temperature grade (0°C to +95°C).
Technical Context
The MCIMX6S8DVM10AC implements a symmetric Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore platform with 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, TrustZone security, and private timer/watchdog per core. Its SoC-level architecture integrates a 512 KB unified L2 cache shared across one core, boot ROM with HABv4 secure boot, and 128 KB OCRAM for fast-access firmware execution.
It delivers multimedia acceleration via dedicated hardware blocks: VPU for 1080p video decode/encode, GPU3Dv5 (OpenGL ES 2.0), GPU2Dv2 (BitBlt), IPUv3H for image processing, PXP for E-INK pixel pipeline offload, and ASRC supporting concurrent 10-channel sample rate conversion up to 192 kHz.
Key Specifications
