Product details
Overview
MCIMX7D5EVM10SD from NXP Semiconductors is an industrial-grade dual-core applications processor featuring two Arm Cortex-A7 cores (1 GHz) and one Arm Cortex-M4 core, integrated 2×12-bit ADCs, dual Gigabit Ethernet with IEEE 1588 AVB support, and 19×19 mm 0.75 mm pitch BGA packaging. It targets rugged embedded systems requiring real-time responsiveness and secure Linux/RTOS coexistence.
For engineers reviewing the MCIMX7D5EVM10SD datasheet, MCIMX7D5EVM10SD pinout, MCIMX7D5EVM10SD application, or MCIMX7D5EVM10SD equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (–20 to +105°C), absence of EPDC and CAN interfaces, 10 tamper detection pins, and dual-ADC configuration in the larger BGA package.
Technical Context
The MCIMX7D5EVM10SD implements a heterogeneous multicore architecture: dual Cortex-A7 cores run Linux or Android while the Cortex-M4 handles deterministic real-time tasks via FreeRTOS™, with shared L2 cache (512 KB) and independent TCM (64 KB). Its memory subsystem supports LPDDR2/LPDDR3-1066, DDR3/DDR3L-1066, and NAND/NOR flash with BCH up to 62-bit ECC.
Power management includes integrated LDOs, SNVS-secured RTC, temperature sensor, and multiple low-power states coordinated by GPC. Security is enforced via TrustZone, CAAM (32 KB secure RAM), HABv4 boot with SHA-256/2048-bit RSA, CSU policy engine, and tamper-detection circuitry across 10 dedicated pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Cores | Dual Arm Cortex-A7 @ 1 GHz + single Arm Cortex-M4 - enables concurrent OS/RTOS operation with hardware-isolated security domains. |
| ADC | Two 12-bit SAR ADCs (8 single-ended inputs total) - supports analog sensor monitoring without external converters in industrial control nodes. |
| Ethernet | 2× 10/100/1000 Mbps AVB-capable controllers - delivers time-synchronized networking for industrial automation and audio/video streaming. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCIMX7D5EVK10SD | Same core configuration and industrial temp grade, but 12×12 mm 0.4 mm pitch BGA (400-pin); only 1× ADC; 4 tamper pins. | Suitable for space-constrained designs where dual ADCs and tamper resilience are secondary to PCB area reduction. | Select when board real estate is critical and analog sensing requirements are limited to 4 channels. |
| i.MX 8M Mini (e.g., MCIMX8MM4CVTKZAA) | Quad Cortex-A53 + Cortex-M4, higher performance, 2× USB 3.0, MIPI-CSI/DSI, but no built-in tamper pins and consumer temp grade (0–95°C). | Better suited for multimedia-rich HMIs and AI inference at edge, not for physically secured industrial control. | Choose for enhanced UI capability and ML acceleration where tamper resistance and extended temperature are not required. |
Compared with MCIMX7D5EVM10SD, MCIMX7D5EVK10SD trades I/O density and tamper robustness for compactness, while i.MX 8M Mini offers greater compute throughput but lacks hardware-enforced physical security and industrial thermal tolerance - making MCIMX7D5EVM10SD uniquely balanced for secure, sensor-heavy, thermally demanding edge deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature specification for MCIMX7D5EVM10SD?
The MCIMX7D5EVM10SD is qualified for industrial operation with a junction temperature range of –20°C to +105°C. This specification is validated per NXP's industrial qualification tier (10-year lifetime, 100% duty cycle) and enables deployment in fanless enclosures, outdoor kiosks, and factory automation equipment without active cooling.
Does MCIMX7D5EVM10SD include integrated Ethernet PHYs?
No, MCIMX7D5EVM10SD does not integrate Ethernet PHYs. It provides two RGMII interfaces (ENET1 and ENET2) that require external PHY ICs - such as the KSZ9031RNX or LAN8720A - to complete the physical layer connection for 10/100/1000 Mbps operation and IEEE 1588 timestamping.
How many analog input channels does MCIMX7D5EVM10SD support?
MCIMX7D5EVM10SD integrates two independent 12-bit SAR ADCs, supporting a total of eight single-ended analog inputs (ADC1_IN0–ADC1_IN3 and ADC2_IN0–ADC2_IN3). These are fully functional in the 19×19 mm BGA package and do not require external ADC components for basic sensor interfacing.
Is EPDC functionality available on MCIMX7D5EVM10SD?
No, MCIMX7D5EVM10SD explicitly excludes the Electronic Paper Display Controller (EPDC) - as indicated in Table 1 of the IMX7DCEC datasheet under "No EPDC, CAN". This distinguishes it from variants like MCIMX7D7DVK10SD and makes it appropriate for non-ePaper applications such as industrial HMIs with LCD or MIPI-DSI displays.
What security features are implemented in MCIMX7D5EVM10SD?
MCIMX7D5EVM10SD includes HABv4 secure boot with SHA-256 and 2048-bit RSA keys, CAAM cryptographic engine with 32 KB secure RAM, SNVS with tamper-detect RTC, CSU policy enforcement, TrustZone memory isolation, and 10 dedicated hardware tamper pins - collectively enabling secure firmware updates, encrypted storage, and physical intrusion response in certified industrial systems.
