Product details
Overview
MCIMX6V2CVM08AB from NXP Semiconductors is an industrial-grade Arm Cortex-A9 applications processor operating at 800 MHz, featuring LPDDR2/LPDDR3 memory interface, dual USB 2.0 OTG with integrated PHY, and PXP 2D graphics acceleration - deployed in barcode scanners, eReaders, and industrial IoT gateways requiring low-power multimedia processing.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6V2CVM08AB datasheet, MCIMX6V2CVM08AB pinout, MCIMX6V2CVM08AB application, or MCIMX6V2CVM08AB equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (−40 to +105 °C), 14×14 mm 0.65 mm pitch BGA package, absence of EPDC, and support for eMMC 5.0/SD 3.0 ×3, UART ×5, and I²C ×4.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6V2CVM08AB implements a single-core Arm Cortex-A9 with TrustZone security, 256 KB L2 cache, NEON SIMD engine, and dynamic voltage/frequency scaling (DVFS) for power optimization. It integrates a 32-bit DDR controller supporting LPDDR2/LPDDR3 up to 400 MHz, and includes dedicated hardware accelerators: PXP for pixel processing (CSC, rotation, resize, overlay) and DCP for encryption/hashing.
Its peripheral subsystem supports three uSDHC controllers (eMMC 5.0/SD 3.0 compliant), two USB 2.0 OTG ports with on-die PHY, five UARTs (up to 5 Mbps), four eCSPI, three SSI/I²S, four PWM, three timers, and GPIO with dual-voltage (1.8 V/3.3 V) configurable pads - all routed through a flexible IOMUXC block with software-selectable alternate functions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6Y2CVM08AB | Same i.MX 6SLL family, identical 800 MHz Cortex-A9 core and package, but includes EPDC for direct E-INK panel driving | Required when driving E-INK panels without external timing controller; adds ~15 mW static power and modifies pinmux for EPDC signals | Select MCIMX6Y2CVM08AB only if native EPDC support is mandatory; MCIMX6V2CVM08AB retains full PXP capability for software-driven E-INK waveforms. |
| MCIMX6U5DVM08AC | i.MX 6ULL variant: single-core Cortex-A7 @ 800 MHz, same 14×14 mm BGA, but lacks PXP, has reduced USB (1 OTG), and supports only LPDDR2 (no LPDDR3) | Suitable for cost-sensitive Linux HMI where graphics acceleration is unnecessary; lower security feature set (no DCP, reduced HAB options) | Choose MCIMX6U5DVM08AC for non-multimedia, non-security-critical applications; MCIMX6V2CVM08AB provides verified PXP and HABv4 for certified industrial deployments. |
Compared with MCIMX6Y2CVM08AB, MCIMX6V2CVM08AB trades EPDC hardware for higher flexibility in display interface selection (LCDIF + PXP), while versus MCIMX6U5DVM08AC it delivers superior multimedia throughput, security depth, and memory bandwidth - critical for certified industrial firmware integrity and real-time display response.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported LPDDR3 speed for MCIMX6V2CVM08AB?
The MCIMX6V2CVM08AB supports LPDDR3 at up to 400 MHz data rate (800 MT/s), as specified in Section 4.9 "System Modules Timing" of the IMX6SLLIEC datasheet. This requires strict PCB layout adherence to JEDEC JESD209-3B for trace length matching, impedance control (40 Ω single-ended), and VREF calibration using the DRAM_VREF resistor divider network.
Does MCIMX6V2CVM08AB include an integrated EPD controller (EPDC)?
No, MCIMX6V2CVM08AB explicitly excludes the EPD controller (EPDC), as confirmed in Table 1 "Example Orderable Part Numbers" of the IMX6SLLIEC datasheet. It relies on the PXP accelerator and LCDIF interface for E-INK display support - enabling software-defined waveform control rather than hardware-timed EPDC driving.
How many USB 2.0 OTG ports does MCIMX6V2CVM08AB provide, and are PHYs integrated?
MCIMX6V2CVM08AB provides two high-speed USB 2.0 OTG ports, each with fully integrated PHY circuitry - eliminating need for external transceivers. Both ports support host/device roles, OTG negotiation, and 480 Mbps operation, as detailed in Section 4.10 "External Peripheral Interface Parameters" of the IMX6SLLIEC datasheet.
What security features are enabled in MCIMX6V2CVM08AB per its ordering options?
MCIMX6V2CVM08AB includes basic security: HABv4 secure boot, CSU policy enforcement, SNVS with secure RTC, DCP crypto engine (AES-128/256, SHA-1/256), and OCOTP eFUSE programming. It omits advanced options like CAAM or full TrustZone-enabled peripherals found in higher-tier i.MX 6SLL variants.
Can MCIMX6V2CVM08AB boot directly from eMMC 5.0 HS400 mode?
Yes, MCIMX6V2CVM08AB supports booting directly from eMMC 5.0 HS400 mode using uSDHC1, as documented in Section 5 "Boot Mode Configuration" of IMX6SLLIEC. Boot ROM validates the first 512-byte boot image header and executes signed firmware from eMMC user area, with HS400 timing enabled via BOOT_CFG[15:14] = 2'b10.
