Product details
Overview
MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA from NXP Semiconductors is a single-core Arm Cortex-A7 application processor operating at 528 MHz, commercial grade (0 to +95 °C), with basic security, one FlexCAN interface, dual USB OTG (480 Mbps), eight UARTs, and packaged in a 14 × 14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch MAPBGA. It targets cost-sensitive, power-efficient embedded systems such as access control panels and IoT gateways requiring deterministic real-time I/O and secure boot.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA datasheet, MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA pinout, MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA application, or MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 528 MHz CPU frequency, integrated L2 cache (128 KB), dual USB OTG PHY, single CAN 2.0B controller, and support for DDR3/LPDDR2 memory - all within a thermally optimized MAPBGA package suitable for industrial HMI and connected device designs.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA implements Arm TrustZone security architecture with hardware-accelerated AES-128, SHA-1, and SHA-256 engines, alongside Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS) and Advanced High Assurance Boot (A-HAB). Its clocking system includes six PLLs and dual oscillators (24 MHz crystal + 32.768 kHz RTC), enabling precise timing for USB, Ethernet, and audio subsystems.
It integrates a Smart DMA (SDMA) controller supporting 32 channels, three SAI interfaces (up to 1.4 Mbps each), and an Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC) for concurrent multi-channel audio resampling. Memory subsystem features 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, 128 KB unified L2 cache, 96 KB boot ROM, and 128 KB on-chip RAM (OCRAM).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar application processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6Y2DVM05AA | Same 528 MHz core, but adds LCDIF/CSI, dual CAN, dual Ethernet, and dual ADC - 289-pin MAPBGA identical footprint. | Required for designs needing camera input, dual-network redundancy, or parallel display output beyond basic HMI. | Select when expanding from access control to full-featured industrial gateway with vision capability and failover networking. |
| MCIMX6Y1DVK05AA | Identical feature set and silicon revision, but in smaller 9 × 9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch MAPBGA (272-ball) package. | Suitable for space-constrained portable devices where board area is premium and thermal envelope is tighter. | Choose for handheld medical or consumer IoT where 30% smaller footprint justifies re-layout and higher assembly cost. |
Compared with MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA, MCIMX6Y2DVM05AA adds essential peripherals for vision-enabled gateways without changing PCB layout, while MCIMX6Y1DVK05AA trades pin count and thermal headroom for compactness - making the original ideal for balanced cost, I/O, and manufacturability in fixed-form-factor industrial controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA?
The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA operates at a fixed maximum frequency of 528 MHz. This speed is guaranteed across the full commercial temperature range (0 to +95 °C junction) and is not user-configurable beyond factory-fused limits. The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA does not support dynamic overclocking or 900 MHz operation - that capability is reserved for variants ending in "09", such as MCIMX6Y2DVM09AB.
Does the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA include hardware security features?
Yes, the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA includes hardware-enforced security features: Arm TrustZone, Advanced High Assurance Boot (A-HABv4), Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS) with tamper detection, Central Security Unit (CSU), and hardware accelerators for AES-128, SHA-1, and SHA-256. These are active by default and required for secure boot and encrypted firmware updates in the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA.
How many UART interfaces does the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA support?
The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA supports eight UART interfaces, each capable of up to 5.0 Mbps operation. These include hardware flow control (RTS/CTS), RS485 multidrop mode, and RS232-level signaling - enabling simultaneous connection to barcode scanners, PLCs, printers, and debug consoles without external level shifters in the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA design.
What memory types are supported by the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA?
The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA supports LPDDR2-800, DDR3-800, DDR3L-800, Raw and Managed NAND (with BCH ECC up to 40 bits), NOR flash, Quad SPI flash, and eMMC 4.41. It boots directly from NAND, NOR, SPI NOR, or SD/eMMC - all verified and documented for the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA in the i.MX 6ULL CEC datasheet Rev. 1.3.
Is the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA pin-compatible with other i.MX 6ULL variants?
The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA shares the same 289-ball MAPBGA package (14 × 14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) and pinout with MCIMX6Y0DVM05AA, MCIMX6Y2DVM05AA, and MCIMX6Y2DVM09AB - enabling drop-in replacement for frequency or peripheral upgrades. However, it is not pin-compatible with VK-series (9 × 9 mm) variants like MCIMX6Y1DVK05AA due to different ball count and pitch.
