Product details
Overview
MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB from NXP Semiconductors is an industrial-grade Arm Cortex-A7 single-core applications processor operating at 528 MHz, featuring basic security (TrustZone, HABv4, SNVS), one FlexCAN interface, dual USB OTG with integrated PHY, eight UARTs, and a 14 × 14 mm MAPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch - deployed in access control panels and industrial HMIs requiring deterministic real-time I/O and secure boot.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB datasheet, MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB pinout, MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB application, or MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified CAN support, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C), absence of LCD/CSI interfaces, and confirmed 14×14 mm MAPBGA mechanical compatibility for board-level integration.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB implements a single Arm Cortex-A7 core with TrustZone, 32 KB L1 instruction and 32 KB L1 data caches, and a 128 KB unified L2 cache. It integrates a Smart DMA (SDMA) controller, asynchronous audio sample rate converter (ASRC), and pixel processing pipeline (PXP) for offloading multimedia tasks.
Power management includes on-die LDOs, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), and SW state retention for Arm/NEON domains. Boot ROM supports Advanced High Assurance Boot (A-HAB) with AES-128, SHA-1, and SHA-256 hardware acceleration, while security policy is enforced via CSU and SNVS tamper detection.

Pinout & Package
MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB uses a 289-ball MAPBGA package (14 × 14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) with ball pitch and layout defined in NXP's IMX6ULLIEC Rev. 1.2, Section 6.1. Pin functions are multiplexed across dedicated I/O banks supporting configurable voltage domains (1.8 V / 3.3 V).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_ARM | Core Power Supply | 1.0–1.25 V supply for Cortex-A7 core and L1 cache - requires tight regulation and local decoupling for stable 528 MHz operation. |
| VDD_SOC | SoC Logic Power | 1.2–1.3 V supply for L2 cache, SDMA, GPC, and peripheral logic - shared rail with DDR I/O and critical for system-level power sequencing. |
| ENET1_RXD0–3 | Ethernet Receive Data | Differential pair inputs for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC - routed as controlled-impedance traces (50 Ω) to external PHY. |
| FLEXCAN1_TX/RX | CAN Transceiver Interface | Direct connection to external CAN transceiver (e.g., TJA1042) - supports ISO 11898-2 compliant bus signaling at up to 1 Mbps. |
| USB_OTG1_DP/DM | USB 2.0 Differential Pair | Full-speed (12 Mbps) or high-speed (480 Mbps) signaling path - requires 90 Ω differential impedance and ESD protection per USB-IF requirements. |
| ADC1_IN0–7 | Analog Input Channels | Eight dedicated 12-bit ADC inputs - support single-ended or differential sampling with internal reference (1.8 V) for sensor interfacing without external signal conditioning. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Smart DMA (SDMA) | Offloads CPU from memory-mapped peripheral transfers (e.g., UART FIFOs, SPI buffers), reducing interrupt latency and enabling deterministic real-time response in industrial control loops. |
| Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC) | Supports concurrent conversion of up to 10 audio channels with <−120 dB THD+N - enables flexible audio routing between disparate clock domains (e.g., USB audio ↔ SAI ↔ SPDIF) in IP phones and voice-enabled HMIs. |
| Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS) | Includes tamper-detection inputs, voltage/temperature monitors, and secure RTC - ensures cryptographic key integrity and prevents physical attacks on firmware authentication in access control systems. |
| Boot ROM with A-HABv4 | Enables authenticated, encrypted boot from eMMC, NAND, or QSPI flash - eliminates need for external secure boot ICs and simplifies BOM for certified industrial devices. |
| Flexible I/O Muxing | Each pin supports up to 8 alternate functions across 5 voltage domains - allows reuse of same ball for UART, SPI, I²C, or GPIO depending on design needs, minimizing PCB layer count in space-constrained gateways. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6Y2CVM05AB | Includes LCD/CSI interface, dual FlexCAN, dual Ethernet, and dual 12-bit ADCs - higher peripheral count and larger memory bandwidth. | Suitable for designs requiring display output or dual-network redundancy (e.g., dual-Ethernet industrial routers). | Select when display interface or second CAN/Ethernet channel is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and power domain configuration. |
| MCIMX6Y1CVK05AB | Same core features and security but in 9 × 9 mm MAPBGA (0.5 mm pitch, 234 balls) - smaller footprint and reduced thermal mass. | Better suited for ultra-compact modules where PCB area is constrained, such as wearable medical telemetry or miniaturized gateways. | Select for space-constrained layouts; requires redesign of power delivery and signal routing due to different ball map and pitch. |
Compared with MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB, MCIMX6Y2CVM05AB adds display and dual-CAN capability at the cost of increased BOM and layout complexity, while MCIMX6Y1CVK05AB trades package size for reduced I/O count and simplified thermal design - both require schematic and layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB?
The MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB operates at a fixed maximum frequency of 528 MHz. This speed is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and is implemented using NXP's optimized Arm Cortex-A7 core with integrated L1/L2 caches and NEON media processing engine. The MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB does not support dynamic frequency scaling beyond this rated speed.
Does the MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB support secure boot and cryptographic acceleration?
Yes, the MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB includes hardware-accelerated secure boot via Advanced High Assurance Boot (A-HABv4), with AES-128 encryption, SHA-1, and SHA-256 hashing engines. It also integrates Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS) with tamper detection and Central Security Unit (CSU) policy enforcement - all documented in the i.MX 6ULL Security Reference Manual (IMX6ULLSRM).
Can the MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB drive a display directly?
No, the MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB does not include an LCD interface (LCDIF) or camera sensor interface (CSI). These peripherals are explicitly excluded per NXP's ordering information table - only MCIMX6Y2 variants support display and imaging functions. For display use cases, MCIMX6Y2CVM05AB or MCIMX6Y2CVM08AB must be selected instead.
What package type and ball count does the MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB use?
The MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB uses a 14 × 14 mm plastic MAPBGA package with 0.8 mm ball pitch and 289 I/O balls. This package is defined in Section 6.1 of the IMX6ULLIEC Rev. 1.2 datasheet and is mechanically and thermally qualified for industrial surface-mount assembly processes.
How many UART interfaces are available on the MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB?
The MCIMX6Y1CVM05AB provides eight UART interfaces, each supporting up to 5.0 Mbps and hardware flow control (RTS/CTS). These are fully independent and can be configured for RS-232, RS-485 multidrop, or TTL-level communication - enabling simultaneous connection to multiple industrial sensors, modems, or legacy control systems.
