Product details
Overview
MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR from NXP Semiconductors is a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-A9 applications processor operating at 1 GHz, featuring integrated VPU, GPU3Dv5, GPU2Dv2, and MLB interface-without EPDC-targeting multimedia-rich consumer devices requiring DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 memory, HDMI 1.4, dual CAN, and Gigabit Ethernet in commercial temperature range (0°C to +95°C).
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR datasheet, MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR pinout, MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR application, or MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-core DVFS support, hardware-accelerated video decode/encode (VPU), OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics, MLB network interface for MOST25/50/150, and absence of E-INK display controller (EPDC) compared to U8 variants.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR implements a symmetric dual-core Arm Cortex-A9 MPCore platform with 512 KB shared L2 cache, TrustZone security, and NEON MPE co-processor. It integrates dedicated accelerators including VPU for H.264/VC-1/MPEG-4 decode and encode, GPU3Dv5 supporting OpenGL ES 2.0, and GPU2Dv2 for BitBlt operations.
Its system architecture includes four uSDHC ports supporting UHS-I SDR-104, two MIPI CSI-2 lanes (up to 1 Gbps/lane), one PCIe v2.0 x1 endpoint/root complex, and dual FlexCAN controllers compliant with ISO 11898-1 at 1 Mbps-configured without EPDC, distinguishing it from MCIMX6U8 variants.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6U8DVM10AD | Includes EPDC controller for E-INK displays; otherwise identical CPU, VPU, GPU, and MLB features | Required for color/monochrome E-INK panels (e.g., eReaders); not needed for LCD/HDMI-based systems | Select MCIMX6U8DVM10AD only if E-INK display support is mandatory; MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR reduces BOM cost where EPDC is unused |
| MCIMX6U5EVM10AD | Same silicon functionality but extended commercial temperature grade (−20°C to +105°C) | Suitable for enclosed industrial enclosures or automotive cabin environments where ambient exceeds 95°C | Choose MCIMX6U5EVM10AD when thermal design cannot guarantee junction ≤95°C; otherwise MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR suffices for standard consumer use |
Compared with MCIMX6U8DVM10AD, MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR removes EPDC to lower cost and power for non-E-INK applications; versus MCIMX6U5EVM10AD, it trades extended temperature tolerance for lower unit price and qualification cost in commercial-grade deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR3 memory speed supported by MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR?
MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR supports DDR3-800 (400 MHz clock, 800 MT/s data rate) and DDR3L-800 in 16/32/64-bit configurations. This enables up to 51.2 GB/s theoretical bandwidth in 64-bit mode, sufficient for dual-display 1080p UI rendering and video buffering. The memory controller also supports LPDDR2-800 for ultra-low-power portable applications.
Does MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR include hardware encryption acceleration?
Yes, MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR integrates the Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM) with NIST-certified AES-128/256, SHA-1/256, and a Pseudo Random Number Generator. CAAM offloads TLS 1.2 handshakes and secure boot verification from the Cortex-A9 cores, reducing latency and improving system security posture.
Can MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR be used in automotive applications?
No-MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR is rated for commercial temperature range (0°C to +95°C junction) and lacks AEC-Q100 qualification. For automotive use, NXP offers the i.MX 6DualLite A-series (e.g., MCIMX6U5DVM10AA) with −40°C to +125°C rating, enhanced ESD protection, and automotive-specific errata mitigation.
What display interfaces are available on MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR?
MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR supports HDMI 1.4 (up to 1080p60), dual LVDS (WUXGA@60Hz), parallel RGB (24-bit, 225 Mpixels/sec), and MIPI DSI (2-lane, 1 Gbps/lane). It does not include the EPDC controller, so E-INK displays are not supported-unlike MCIMX6U8 variants.
Is PCIe Gen2 support on MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR configurable as root complex or endpoint?
Yes, MCIMX6U5DVM10ADR's PCIe v2.0 x1 interface operates in dual-mode: root complex (for connecting peripherals like NVMe SSDs) or endpoint (for integration into larger host systems). Configuration is controlled via boot ROM fuses and software initialization in the Linux kernel PCIe driver stack.
