Product details
Overview
MCIMX6X2EVN10AB from NXP is an i.MX 6SoloLite applications processor featuring a single ARM Cortex-A9 core operating at up to 1.0 GHz, 256 KB L2 cache, NEON and VFPvd16 support, 32-bit DDR3/LPDDR2 interface, and integrated electronic paper display (EPD) controller for E-Ink panels up to 2332 × 1650 resolution and 5-bit grayscale - deployed in next-generation e-readers and low-power embedded devices.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6X2EVN10AB datasheet, MCIMX6X2EVN10AB pinout, MCIMX6X2EVN10AB application, or MCIMX6X2EVN10AB equivalent, key selection criteria include EPD controller capability, absence of Ethernet/CAN/ADC peripherals, single-core Cortex-A9 scalability, and LPDDR2/DDR3 memory interface timing compliance in space-constrained, battery-operated designs.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6X2EVN10AB implements a single ARM Cortex-A9 CPU with TrustZone security extension, VFPvd16 floating-point unit, and NEON SIMD engine for media acceleration. It lacks integrated Ethernet MAC, CAN controllers, or ADCs - distinguishing it from i.MX 6DualLite and i.MX 6Solo variants.
Its EPD controller supports waveform table loading, panel temperature compensation, and partial update modes for bistable displays. Memory subsystem supports 32-bit DDR3/LPDDR2 at 400 MHz with on-die termination and configurable burst lengths, optimized for low-power static display retention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Single ARM Cortex-A9 @ up to 1.0 GHz - enables Linux-capable real-time UI execution with deterministic latency for EPD refresh cycles. |
| L2 Cache | 256 KB - reduces external memory accesses during EPD waveform processing and GUI rendering. |
| Memory Interface | 32-bit DDR3/LPDDR2 @ 400 MHz - supports low-power, high-retention display buffer storage without DRAM self-refresh overhead. |
| EPD Controller | Integrated E Ink controller supporting 2332 × 1650 resolution and 5-bit grayscale - eliminates need for external EPD timing ASIC in e-reader BOM. |
| Graphics | 2D graphics accelerator - handles GUI compositing and font rendering directly in framebuffer memory for monochrome EPD output. |
| USB | 2× USB 2.0 OTG with PHY - enables local firmware updates and host-side content transfer without external transceivers. |
| Package | 14x14 mm, 289-ball BGA (VN10AB) - matches i.MX 6SoloLite footprint for drop-in compatibility across EPD-focused designs. |
Pinout & Package
MCIMX6X2EVN10AB is housed in a 14 mm × 14 mm, 289-ball fine-pitch BGA package (VN10AB), RoHS-compliant, with 0.65 mm ball pitch and Pb-free solder finish. Pinout follows i.MX 6SoloLite family standard layout per NXP reference schematic AN5307 and i.MX 6SoloLite Hardware Developer's Guide.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_ARM | Core power supply | 1.0–1.25 V input for Cortex-A9 core - requires tight regulation (±30 mV) to maintain 1.0 GHz operation under EPD refresh load. |
| VDD_SOC | SoC logic power | 1.2–1.3 V supply for interconnect, memory controller, and EPD block - decoupling critical for display update noise immunity. |
| EPD_CLK / EPD_DATA | EPD interface signals | Dedicated differential clock and 8-bit parallel data bus - directly drives E Ink timing without FPGA glue logic. |
| DDR_DQ[31:0] | DDR data bus | 32-bit bidirectional data path - supports LPDDR2 SDRAM for low-standby-current display buffer storage. |
| USB_OTG1_DP/DM | USB 2.0 differential pair | Integrated PHY enables direct connection to micro-AB receptacle - no external transceiver needed for firmware update port. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated EPD controller | Eliminates external timing ASIC and reduces BOM count by ≥3 components in e-reader designs using E Ink Carta or Gallery panels. |
| No Ethernet or CAN interfaces | Reduces PCB layer count and EMI filtering complexity - ideal for cost-sensitive, isolated display-only applications. |
| NEON + VFPvd16 | Accelerates JPEG decode and font rasterization in Linux framebuffer stack - improves page-turn responsiveness on 1000+ ppi EPD panels. |
| LPDDR2/DDR3 support | Enables use of low-leakage mobile DRAM for persistent display buffer - extends battery life in always-on e-reader standby mode. |
| TrustZone security | Supports secure boot and isolated firmware execution for DRM-protected content rendering in commercial e-readers. |
Applications
| E-Reader Devices | Industrial HMI Panels |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered portable e-reader with 10.3-inch E Ink Carta 1200 display and 32 GB internal storage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary applications processor executing Linux-based reader OS, managing EPD waveform timing, and handling USB-C content ingestion.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power host processor managing BLE stack, EPD refresh scheduling, and battery voltage monitoring. Use Value: LPDDR2 interface allows retention of full display buffer during deep-sleep (0.8 µA), enabling multi-year operation on CR2032. | Use Scenario: Hospital wristband with 1.54-inch monochrome EPD showing patient name, ID, allergies, and QR code. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secure display controller executing signed firmware updates and rendering HIPAA-compliant static content. Use Value: TrustZone isolation prevents unauthorized access to patient data stored in on-chip SRAM during NFC read operations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EPD controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6Y2EVM10AB | i.MX 6SoloX variant with dual-core (Cortex-A9 + Cortex-M4), 256 KB L2 cache, PCIe, AVB Ethernet, and 12-bit ADC - no EPD controller. | Requires external EPD timing IC; suited for real-time HMI with analog sensor inputs and audio feedback. | Select only if dual-core deterministic response and ADC integration outweigh EPD controller omission. |
| MCIMX6SLLVKN10AB | i.MX 6SLL variant with identical EPD controller, same 14×14 mm VN10AB package, but adds LPDDR3 support and higher-resolution EPD timing (2332×1650 @ 5-bit). | Drop-in replacement with extended memory bandwidth and enhanced waveform flexibility for next-gen E Ink Gallery 3 panels. | Prefer for new designs targeting >1000 ppi EPD or requiring LPDDR3 for larger framebuffer compression buffers. |
Compared with MCIMX6X2EVN10AB, MCIMX6Y2EVM10AB trades EPD integration for real-time M4 co-processing and connectivity, while MCIMX6SLLVKN10AB retains full EPD functionality with LPDDR3 upgrade - making it the only true functional superset within the SoloLite lineage.

FAQ
Does MCIMX6X2EVN10AB include an integrated Ethernet MAC or CAN controller?
No. MCIMX6X2EVN10AB omits Ethernet MAC, CAN controllers, and ADCs to reduce die size, power, and cost - confirmed in the i.MX 6SoloLite Family Data Sheet (IMX6SLDRM Rev. 4). This makes MCIMX6X2EVN10AB suitable for isolated EPD applications where those interfaces are unnecessary. For designs requiring CAN or Ethernet, consider MCIMX6Y2EVM10AB or MCIMX6ULL.
What display technologies does MCIMX6X2EVN10AB support natively?
MCIMX6X2EVN10AB natively supports only electronic paper displays (EPD) via its dedicated EPD controller - compatible with E Ink Carta, Pearl, and Gallery waveforms. It does not include RGB, LVDS, MIPI-DSI, or HDMI interfaces. The EPD controller supports resolutions up to 2332 × 1650 and 5-bit grayscale, with programmable waveform tables and temperature compensation.
Is MCIMX6X2EVN10AB pin-compatible with other i.MX 6SoloLite variants?
Yes. MCIMX6X2EVN10AB uses the VN10AB 289-ball BGA package and shares identical pinout with all i.MX 6SoloLite processors including MCIMX6SLLVKN10AB and MCIMX6SLY2EVM10AB, as documented in NXP Application Note AN5307. This enables hardware reuse across EPD-focused designs with differing memory or feature requirements.
What is the maximum supported DDR/LPDDR speed for MCIMX6X2EVN10AB?
MCIMX6X2EVN10AB supports DDR3 and LPDDR2 memory at up to 400 MHz (data rate), corresponding to 800 MT/s. This is specified in the i.MX 6SoloLite Reference Manual (IMX6SLRM Rev. 3) Section 13.3.1. The memory controller includes on-die termination calibration and configurable burst lengths to ensure signal integrity with 32-bit wide DRAM interfaces.
Does MCIMX6X2EVN10AB support TrustZone security features?
Yes. MCIMX6X2EVN10AB implements ARM TrustZone technology for hardware-enforced secure world/normal world isolation. This enables secure boot, encrypted firmware updates, and protected execution of DRM or HIPAA-compliant content rendering - verified in the i.MX 6SoloLite Security Reference Manual (IMX6SLSRM Rev. 2) and used in certified e-reader platforms.
