Product details
Overview
MIMX8DL1AVNFZBA from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-grade i.MX 8XLite applications processor featuring dual Arm Cortex-A35 cores @1.2 GHz, one Cortex-M4F core @264 MHz, 16-bit LPDDR4 @1200 MHz with inline ECC, PCIe 3.0 (1-lane), and triple CAN-FD - deployed in infotainment head units and V2X telematics gateways.
For engineers reviewing the MIMX8DL1AVNFZBA datasheet, MIMX8DL1AVNFZBA pinout, MIMX8DL1AVNFZBA application, or MIMX8DL1AVNFZBA equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive temperature grade (−40°C to +125°C), FIPS 140-3 non-certified security configuration, SCU-managed power domains, and mixed-pitch FCPBGA-376 package compatibility with i.MX 8X platform design rules.
Technical Context
The MIMX8DL1AVNFZBA implements a heterogeneous multicore architecture: dual Cortex-A35 cores execute Linux-based infotainment stacks with AArch64 virtualization support, while the Cortex-M4F handles real-time vehicle bus arbitration, sensor fusion, and safety-critical boot firmware via dedicated LPUART and LPI2C interfaces.
Its System Control Unit (SCU) manages power states, clock gating, reset sequencing, and PMIC communication over a dedicated I²C channel; memory subsystems include LPDDR4/DDR3L with inline ECC, FlexSPI for secure boot from NOR flash, and GPMI with BCH-62 ECC for NAND storage - all coordinated under Resource Domain Controller (RDC) enforcement.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Cores | Dual Arm Cortex-A35 @1.2 GHz + single Cortex-M4F @264 MHz - enables concurrent OS execution and deterministic real-time control without RTOS co-location overhead. |
| Memory Interface | 16-bit LPDDR4 @1200 MHz with inline ECC - delivers 19.2 GB/s bandwidth and fault-tolerant operation for graphics and multimedia buffers. |
| Connectivity | 1× PCIe 3.0 (1-lane), 2× USB 2.0, 2× 1Gb Ethernet (1× AVB, 1× TSN), 3× CAN-FD - supports camera link, OTA update routing, and time-synchronized ADAS data aggregation. |
| Analog & I/O | 6-channel 12-bit ADC, 32-bit GPIO (3.3 V/1.8 V), 4× LPSPI, 6× UART (including SCU- and M4F-dedicated instances) - enables direct sensor interfacing and legacy automotive peripheral integration. |
| Security | CAAM cryptographic accelerator, SECO subsystem, Secure JTAG (SJC), 64 KB secure RAM - provides hardware-enforced key management and tamper detection but excludes FIPS 140-3 certification. |
| Package | FCPBGA, 15 mm × 15 mm, 0.56 mm / 0.8 mm mixed pitch, 376-ball layout - matches i.MX 8X mechanical footprint for drop-in PCB reuse across automotive platforms. |
Pinout & Package
Package: FCPBGA-376, 15 mm × 15 mm, 0.56 mm / 0.8 mm mixed ball pitch, bare die construction per NXP Package Drawing SOT1222-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_MAIN | Main core supply | 1.0 V ±3% input for Cortex-A35/M4F logic; requires low-noise regulation and dedicated decoupling per IMX8XLB0AEC Section 3.2.4. |
| VDD_DDR_VDDQ | DDR I/O supply | 1.1 V ±3% for LPDDR4/DDR3L DQ/DQS; must be sequenced after VDD_MAIN and before VDD_MEMC per power-up timing requirements. |
| OSC24M / OSC32K | Primary clock sources | 24 MHz crystal input (PLL reference) and 32 kHz crystal (RTC/SCU always-on domain); both require external load capacitors and isolation from noisy traces. |
| BOOT_MODE[3:0] | Boot configuration | Strapped at power-on to select boot device (FlexSPI NOR, eMMC, SD, NAND); values defined in IMX8XLB0AEC Table 4-1 and require pull-up/pull-down resistors. |
| PCIe_TXP/N, PCIe_RXP/N | PCIe 3.0 differential pair | AC-coupled 100 Ω differential signaling interface supporting Gen3 speed; requires controlled impedance routing and length matching ≤5 mil. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
