Product details
Overview
MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB from NXP Semiconductors is a single-core Arm Cortex-A7 application processor operating at 900 MHz, featuring integrated EPDC for e-Ink display driving, dual 12-bit ADCs (10 total channels), two USB 2.0 OTG interfaces with PHY, and support for DDR3/DDR3L/LPDDR2 memory - deployed in industrial HMI, eReader, and portable medical devices.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB datasheet, MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB pinout, MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB application, or MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB equivalent, key selection criteria include EPDC capability, 900 MHz performance with basic security (HABv4, AES-128, SHA-256), absence of CAN, single Ethernet port, and 14×14 mm MAPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch.
Technical Context
The MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB implements Arm Cortex-A7 with TrustZone, 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches, 128 KB unified L2 cache, and NEON MPE co-processor - all operating at up to 900 MHz. It integrates dedicated hardware accelerators including PXP for pixel processing and ASRC for asynchronous audio sample rate conversion.
Its system-level architecture includes boot ROM (96 KB) with HABv4 secure boot, 128 KB OCRAM, MMDC for DDR3/LPDDR2, GPMI with BCH ECC up to 40 bits for NAND, and EPDC supporting electrophoretic displays up to 2048×1536 at 106 Hz - all managed by an on-die PMU with DVFS and SW state retention.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB is housed in a 14×14 mm MAPBGA package with 0.8 mm pitch and 289 solder balls. Pin assignments follow the i.MX 6ULL 289-ball BGA 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 input for Cortex-A7 core; requires tight regulation and local decoupling for stable 900 MHz operation. |
| VDD_SOC | SoC logic voltage | 1.0–1.3 V supply for L2 cache, MMDC, and interconnect; shared rail with VDD_ARM in many designs. |
| VDDA_3P3 | Analog I/O supply | 3.3 V analog domain for ADC reference, USB PHY, and EPDC analog outputs - must be filtered to minimize noise coupling. |
| ENET1_RXD0–3 | Ethernet receive data | Differential pair inputs for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet; require controlled impedance routing and AC coupling capacitors. |
| EPDC_DATA0–23 | e-Ink panel data bus | 24-bit parallel interface for direct-drive EPD panels; timing-critical and routed with matched length for skew control. |
| USB_OTG1_DP/DM | USB 2.0 differential pair | Full-speed/high-speed USB interface with integrated PHY - eliminates need for external transceiver in most implementations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Electrophoretic Display Controller (EPDC) | Direct-drive capability for E-Ink panels up to 2048×1536 at 106 Hz - eliminates external display timing controller and reduces BOM cost in eReaders and shelf labels. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar application processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX6Y2DVM09AB | Includes dual FlexCAN and second Ethernet controller; lacks EPDC; same 900 MHz Cortex-A7 core and 14×14 mm package. | Targeted at automotive telematics or industrial gateways requiring CAN bus and dual LAN - not suitable for e-Ink display systems. | Select when CAN/Ethernet redundancy is required and EPDC is unnecessary; pin-compatible but functionally divergent due to missing EPDC signals. |
| MCIMX6Y7DVK05AB | Same feature set (EPDC, LCDIF, dual ADC) but rated for 528 MHz max and packaged in 9×9 mm MAPBGA (0.5 mm pitch, 272 balls). | Better suited for space-constrained portable devices where lower clock speed is acceptable for extended battery life. | Choose for compact form factor and reduced power envelope; not pin-compatible - requires PCB redesign due to different ball count and pitch. |
Compared with MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB, MCIMX6Y2DVM09AB trades EPDC for CAN/Ethernet expansion - making it unsuitable for e-Ink systems but viable for industrial networking. MCIMX6Y7DVK05AB offers identical functionality in a smaller package at lower frequency, demanding layout changes but enabling miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB?
The MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB operates at a guaranteed maximum frequency of 900 MHz under commercial temperature conditions (0°C to +95°C junction). This rating is validated per IMX6ULLCEC Rev. 1.3 electrical specifications and applies to the Arm Cortex-A7 core, L1/L2 caches, and NEON co-processor - enabling deterministic real-time performance in UI and sensor-processing workloads.
Does the MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB support e-Ink displays?
Yes, the MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB includes a dedicated Electrophoretic Display Controller (EPDC) that supports direct-drive e-Ink panels up to 2048×1536 resolution at 106 Hz. It handles waveform loading, partial refresh, and grayscale mapping in hardware - eliminating the need for external display controllers in eReader and smart-label applications.
How many ADC channels does the MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB provide?
The MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB integrates two independent 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC1 and ADC2), supporting up to 10 total input channels. These ADCs are used for front-panel controls, ambient light sensing, battery monitoring, and biomedical signal acquisition - with configurable sample rates and hardware averaging supported in the reference manual.
Is the MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB pin-compatible with other i.MX 6ULL variants in the same package?
Yes, the MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB shares the same 14×14 mm MAPBGA-289 package and pinout as other "VM"-suffixed i.MX 6ULL parts (e.g., MCIMX6Y2DVM09AB), per Section 6.1 of IMX6ULLCEC. However, functional differences - such as presence/absence of EPDC, CAN, or second Ethernet - mean not all pins are electrically identical across variants.
What security features are implemented in the MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB?
The MCIMX6Y7DVM09AB implements hardware-accelerated security including HABv4 secure boot, AES-128 encryption, SHA-1/SHA-256 hashing engines, SNVS with tamper detection, and TrustZone-enabled memory isolation.
