Product details
Overview
MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR from NXP Semiconductors is a single-core Arm Cortex-A7 application processor operating at 528 MHz, featuring dual 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controllers, two FlexCAN interfaces, LCD/CSI display and camera support, dual 12-bit ADCs (10-channel total), and integrated power management for embedded industrial HMI and IoT gateway applications.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR datasheet, MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR pinout, MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR application, or MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-CAN + dual-Ethernet connectivity, 14×14 mm MAPBGA-289 package compatibility, commercial-grade (0°C to +95°C) thermal operation, and i.MX 6ULL family boot ROM with HABv4 secure boot support.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR implements a single Arm Cortex-A7 core with TrustZone security, 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, 128 KB unified L2 cache, and NEON MPE co-processor for media acceleration. It integrates Smart DMA (SDMA), Pixel Processing Pipeline (PXP), and Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter (ASRC) to offload CPU-intensive pixel and audio processing tasks.
Its system-level architecture includes dedicated hardware accelerators for BCH ECC (up to 40-bit), GPMI NAND flash control, EPDC electrophoretic display support, and a centralized power management unit with DVFS, temperature/voltage sensing, and multiple low-power modes - all coordinated via CCM, SRC, and GPC modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR?
The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR operates at a fixed maximum frequency of 528 MHz, as specified in Table 1 of the IMX6ULLCEC datasheet. This frequency is factory-configured and cannot be overclocked; it balances performance, power efficiency, and thermal envelope for commercial-grade embedded applications. The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR does not support dynamic frequency scaling beyond this rated speed.
Does the MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR support secure boot, and what cryptographic algorithms are hardware-accelerated?
Yes, the MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR supports Advanced High Assurance Boot (A-HABv4) with hardware-accelerated AES-128 encryption, SHA-1, and SHA-256 hashing. Secure boot is enforced by the HAB ROM code and validated through the CSU and SNVS modules. The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR also includes RSA-2048 key verification and version control mechanisms to prevent rollback attacks during firmware updates.
What display interfaces does the MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR support, and what is the maximum resolution?
The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR supports LCDIF parallel RGB interface up to WXGA (1366×768) at 60 Hz and includes an Electrophoretic Display Controller (EPDC) for E-Ink panels up to 2048×1536 at 106 Hz. It does not support HDMI or MIPI DSI; display output requires external timing generation or panel-specific initialization sequences handled in software. The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR's PXP accelerator enables real-time UI composition on both display types.
How many CAN interfaces does the MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR include, and are they fully compliant with ISO 11898?
The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR integrates two FlexCAN modules compliant with CAN 2.0B specification (ISO 11898-1), supporting both standard (11-bit) and extended (29-bit) message frames, bit rates up to 1 Mbps, and automatic retransmission. These controllers include dedicated message buffers, error counters, and loopback self-test modes. The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR requires external CAN transceivers (e.g., TJA1042) for physical layer compliance.
What package type and pin count does the MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR uses a 14×14 mm plastic MAPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch and 289 solder balls (ball grid array), designated as "VM" in the part number nomenclature. It is RoHS-compliant and lead-free per NXP's environmental specifications. The MCIMX6Y2DVM05AAR's package drawing and land pattern are documented in Section 6.1 of IMX6ULLCEC Rev. 1.2.
