Product details
Overview
MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB from NXP Semiconductors is a single-core Arm Cortex-A7 application processor operating at 528 MHz, featuring basic security (TrustZone, HABv4, SNVS), one FlexCAN interface, dual USB 2.0 OTG with integrated PHY, eight UARTs, and 14 × 14 mm MAPBGA-289 (0.8 mm pitch) packaging - deployed in industrial IoT gateways requiring deterministic CAN-based fieldbus integration and secure boot.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB datasheet, MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB pinout, MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB application, or MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB equivalent, key selection criteria include verified CAN x1 support, commercial-grade junction temperature (0–95°C), absence of LCD/CSI interfaces, and compatibility with DDR3/LPDDR2/NAND/eMMC memory subsystems per i.MX 6ULL CEC specification.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB implements Arm Cortex-A7 with 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, 128 KB unified L2 cache, NEON MPE coprocessor, and GIC supporting 128 interrupts. Its memory subsystem integrates boot ROM (96 KB), OCRAM (128 KB), and external interfaces for DDR3-800, LPDDR2-800, NAND (with BCH up to 40-bit ECC), NOR, Quad SPI, and eMMC 4.41/4.5.
Peripherals include two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controllers (IEEE 1588 compliant), three SAI audio interfaces, ESAI, SPDIF, four I²C (400 kbps), four eCSPI (52 Mbps), eight PWM, and two 12-bit ADCs (10 total channels). Power management includes integrated LDOs, DVFS, SW state retention, and hardware-accelerated security engines (AES-128, SHA-1/256).

Pinout & Package
MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB is housed in a 14 × 14 mm MAPBGA package with 289 balls and 0.8 mm pitch. Pin assignments follow the i.MX 6ULL 14 × 14 mm mechanical and signal layout defined in Section 6.1 of IMX6ULLCEC Rev. 1.3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_ARM | Core voltage supply | 1.0–1.3 V regulated input for Cortex-A7 core - requires low-noise LDO or DC-DC with ≤10 mV ripple to maintain 528 MHz stability. |
| VDD_SOC | SoC logic voltage | 1.0–1.3 V supply for interconnect, L2 cache, and peripheral logic - shared rail with VDD_ARM in many reference designs. |
| ENET1_RXD0–3 | Ethernet receive data | Differential pair inputs for 10/100 Mbps RMII/MII - routed as controlled-impedance traces (50 Ω) with <5 ps skew. |
| CAN1_TX / CAN1_RX | FlexCAN differential interface | Direct connection to ISO 11898-2 transceiver - requires 120 Ω termination and common-mode choke for EMI suppression. |
| USB_OTG1_DP / DM | USB 2.0 differential pair | Full-speed/high-speed signaling path - must be length-matched within 5 mm and routed over solid ground plane. |
| BOOT_MODE0 / BOOT_MODE1 | Boot configuration | Strapped during power-on reset to select boot source (eMMC, NAND, QSPI, SD) - determines initial firmware execution path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Smart Speed Power Management | Integrated PMU with DVFS and dynamic clock gating reduces active power by >40% vs. fixed-frequency operation under variable workload. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar application processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6Y1DVK05AB | Same core, frequency, and feature set but in 9 × 9 mm MAPBGA-272 (0.5 mm pitch) package - smaller footprint, higher I/O density, tighter routing constraints. | Preferred for space-constrained designs where PCB area is premium and fine-pitch assembly capability exists. | Select MCIMX6Y1DVK05AB when board real estate is limited and manufacturing supports 0.5 mm pitch BGA reflow. |
| MCIMX6Y2DVM05AB | Adds LCD/CSI interface, second FlexCAN, second Ethernet controller, and dual ADC - no change to CPU frequency or security level. | Suitable for HMI-rich applications requiring display output and dual-fieldbus redundancy (e.g., dual-CAN vehicle telematics). | Choose MCIMX6Y2DVM05AB only if LCD/CSI or second CAN/Ethernet are required - adds cost and complexity without benefit for pure gateway use. |
Compared with MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB, MCIMX6Y1DVK05AB offers identical functionality in a smaller package for compact designs, while MCIMX6Y2DVM05AB extends peripheral count for display and dual-network applications - neither is pin-compatible, and both require distinct PCB layouts and power delivery tuning.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB?
The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB operates at a fixed maximum frequency of 528 MHz. This is confirmed in Table 1 of the IMX6ULLCEC datasheet (Rev. 1.3) under "Features supports" for the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA/AB variants. It does not support dynamic frequency scaling beyond this rated speed, and no 792 MHz or 900 MHz configurations are available for this specific part number.
Does the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB include hardware security features?
Yes, the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB includes basic hardware security: Arm TrustZone, Advanced High Assurance Boot (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 explicitly listed in the "Features supports" table for MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB in IMX6ULLCEC Rev. 1.3.
How many CAN interfaces does the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB support?
The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB supports exactly one FlexCAN interface, as specified in the "Features supports" row for MCIMX6Y1DVM05AA/AB in Table 1 of IMX6ULLCEC Rev. 1.3. This differs from MCIMX6Y2DVM05AB (which supports two CAN ports) and MCIMX6Y0DVM05AA/AB (which supports zero CAN ports).
What memory types are supported by the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB?
The MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB supports LPDDR2-800, DDR3-800, DDR3L-800 (all 16-bit), Raw and Managed NAND (with BCH up to 40-bit ECC), NOR Flash, Quad SPI, and eMMC 4.41/4.5 - per Section 1.2 "Features" and Table 10 "Operating Ranges" in IMX6ULLCEC Rev. 1.3. No LPDDR3 or DDR4 support is included.
Is the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB pin-compatible with other i.MX 6ULL variants like MCIMX6Y2DVM05AB?
No, the MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB is not pin-compatible with MCIMX6Y2DVM05AB or any other i.MX 6ULL variant. Although all share the same 14 × 14 mm MAPBGA-289 package, signal assignments differ significantly - especially for LCD/CSI, second Ethernet, and second CAN interfaces absent in MCIMX6Y1DVM05AB. Pin compatibility is not claimed in NXP documentation.
