Product details
Overview
MCIMX6X2EVN10ABR from NXP Semiconductors is a heterogeneous dual-core application processor integrating an Arm Cortex-A9 core (1 GHz) and an Arm Cortex-M4 core (227 MHz), packaged in a 17×17 mm, 0.8 mm pitch MAPBGA (package code VN). It supports DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2-800 memory, dual Gigabit Ethernet with AVB, PCIe v2.0 x1, and two FlexCAN interfaces - deployed in industrial HMI, smart appliances, and connected medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6X2EVN10ABR datasheet, MCIMX6X2EVN10ABR pinout, MCIMX6X2EVN10ABR application, or MCIMX6X2EVN10ABR equivalent, key selection criteria include PCIe support (enabled in VN package), absence of LVDS and MLB interfaces, single 2-channel 12-bit ADC, extended commercial temperature range (–20°C to +105°C), and mask set 2N19K/3N19K silicon revision.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6X2EVN10ABR implements a tightly coupled A9+M4 architecture where the Cortex-A9 runs Linux for UI/application tasks while the Cortex-M4 handles real-time control, sensor fusion, or low-latency peripheral management - sharing OCRAM (128 KB) and secure memory (32 KB) via RDC-controlled access. Its clocking system includes seven PLLs, on-chip 24 MHz and 32 kHz oscillators, and dynamic voltage/frequency scaling across both cores.
Memory subsystem features a 256 KB L2 cache, 32 KB L1 I/D caches per A9 core, 16 KB I/D caches per M4 core, and TCM (64 KB) for deterministic M4 execution. Peripheral interconnect uses AXI/AHB fabric with SPBA arbitration, supporting concurrent high-bandwidth transfers between GPMI, eSDHC, USB OTG, and PCIe without CPU intervention.
