Product details
Overview
MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-A9 applications processor operating at 1 GHz, featuring integrated VPU, GPU2D/GPU3D, MLB interface, and no EPDC. It supports DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 memory, HDMI 1.4, dual CAN 2.0B, and Gigabit Ethernet - deployed in industrial HMIs and connected medical devices requiring real-time multimedia processing and secure boot.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR datasheet, MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR pinout, MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR application, or MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-core DVFS support, 512 KB shared L2 cache, PCIe v2.0 x1, USB 2.0 OTG + 3 HS hosts, and CAAM-based cryptographic acceleration for secure firmware updates.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR implements a symmetric dual-core Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore platform with TrustZone security, 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches per core, and a shared 512 KB unified L2 cache. Its memory subsystem includes MMDC supporting 32/64-bit DDR3-800 and LPDDR2-800 with interleaving mode enabled.
It integrates dedicated hardware accelerators: VPU for H.264/H.263/MPEG-4 decode/encode up to 1080p30, GPU3Dv5 (OpenGL ES 2.0), GPU2Dv2 (BitBlt), ASRC for multi-channel audio sample rate conversion, and CAAM with NIST-certified PRNG and 16 KB secure RAM - all coordinated via GPC power management and CCM clock control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Dual Arm Cortex-A9 @ 1 GHz - enables concurrent OS tasking and real-time media pipeline execution without CPU saturation. |
| L2 Cache | 512 KB shared - reduces memory bandwidth pressure during parallel video decode and graphics rendering. |
| Memory Interface | 32/64-bit DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 - supports high-throughput frame buffers for dual-display systems up to WUXGA resolution. |
| Video Acceleration | VPU with 1080p30 decode/encode - offloads H.264 decoding from CPU, reducing active power by ~45% vs. software-only implementation. |
| Security Engine | CAAM with SHA-256, RSA-2048, 16 KB secure RAM - enables A-HABv4 secure boot and runtime encrypted firmware validation. |
| Connectivity | PCIe v2.0 x1, 2× FlexCAN 1 Mbps, 1× Gigabit ENET (400 Mbps real-world throughput), 4× uSDHC - supports industrial I/O expansion and deterministic fieldbus bridging. |

| E1 | CLKIN | 24 MHz crystal input - mandatory for USB PHY operation and system clock derivation via internal PLLs. |
| M1 | ENET_MDIO | Management Data Input/Output for IEEE 802.3-compliant Gigabit Ethernet PHY - supports auto-negotiation and register access. |
| P2 | CAN1_TX | Differential CAN 2.0B transmit output - connects directly to ISO 11898-2 transceiver with 120 Ω termination. |
| R1 | CAN1_RX | Differential CAN 2.0B receive input - routed with matched length to CAN1_TX for EMI robustness. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-core DVFS | Independent voltage/frequency scaling per core - extends battery life in portable HMIs by lowering VDD_ARM to 0.95 V at 600 MHz during idle display refresh. |
| MLB Interface | MediaLB v150 with DTCP cipher accelerator - enables secure audio/video streaming to MOST networks in automotive infotainment gateways. |
| ASRC Engine | 10-channel asynchronous sample rate conversion - synchronizes mixed-audio sources (e.g., Bluetooth A2DP + SPDIF) without jitter-induced artifacts. |
| Secure Boot | A-HABv4 with eFUSE-based CSU policy - enforces signed image verification before loading Linux kernel, preventing unauthorized firmware execution. |
| Smart DMA (SDMA) | 12-channel programmable controller - handles GPMI NAND transfers and CSI camera streaming without CPU intervention, freeing cores for application logic. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-core applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6U5EVM10AC | Extended commercial temp range (−20°C to +105°C); identical core, memory, and peripheral configuration. | Suitable for outdoor kiosks or under-hood automotive gateways where ambient exceeds 95°C junction limit. | Select when operating environment exceeds 95°C ambient and thermal design cannot guarantee MCIMX6U5DVM10AC's 0–95°C junction rating. |
| MCIMX6U8DVM10AC | Includes EPDC (E-Ink Panel Display Controller); otherwise identical CPU, GPU, VPU, and MLB features. | Required for color eReader or electronic shelf label systems needing monochrome/color E-Ink drive at 1650×2332 resolution. | Choose only if E-Ink display support is mandatory; MCIMX6U5DVM10AC omits EPDC to reduce cost and power in non-E-Ink applications. |
Compared with MCIMX6U5DVM10AC, MCIMX6U5EVM10AC extends thermal operating range without altering performance or pinout, while MCIMX6U8DVM10AC adds EPDC functionality at same speed and package - making both drop-in alternatives only when temperature or display requirements shift.

MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR supports 32/64-bit DDR3-800 interfaces with theoretical peak bandwidth of 6.4 GB/s (64-bit × 800 MHz). Real-world sustained bandwidth is ~4.2 GB/s due to MMDC arbitration and AXI fabric overhead, sufficient for dual 1080p display buffers and video decode pipelines.
Does MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR include hardware support for secure boot?
Yes, MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR implements A-HABv4 (Advanced High Assurance Boot) with CAAM-based cryptographic acceleration, enabling SHA-256 hashing, 2048-bit RSA signature verification, and eFUSE-configured CSU policies - all verified before releasing Arm cores from reset.
Can MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR drive two independent HDMI displays simultaneously?
No, MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR has one HDMI 1.4 transmitter port. It supports dual displays via combinations such as HDMI + LVDS, HDMI + parallel RGB, or dual LVDS - but not dual HDMI. The HDMI PHY is single-instance and non-muxed.
What is the role of the MLB interface in MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR?
The MLB (MediaLB) interface in MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR provides a 150 Mbps serial bus compliant with MOST25/50/150 standards, including DTCP cipher acceleration for encrypted audio/video transport - used primarily in automotive infotainment head units and premium audio gateways.
Is MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR pin-compatible with MCIMX6U5DVM10AB or MCIMX6U5DVM10AD?
Yes, MCIMX6U5DVM10ACR shares identical MAPBGA-484 package, ball map, and signal assignment with MCIMX6U5DVM10AB and MCIMX6U5DVM10AD - differing only in temperature grade (Commercial D-grade) and fuse options, allowing direct PCB reuse across variants.
