Product details
Overview
MIMXRT1041DFP6BR from NXP Semiconductors is a 600 MHz Arm Cortex-M7 crossover processor with 512 KB FlexRAM (configurable as I-TCM/D-TCM/OCRAM), dual FlexSPI interfaces, and integrated DCDC/LDO power management. It delivers real-time performance for industrial HMI and motor control applications requiring deterministic response, secure boot (HAB), and dual CAN (including CAN FD) connectivity.
For engineers reviewing the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR datasheet, MIMXRT1041DFP6BR pinout, MIMXRT1041DFP6BR application, or MIMXRT1041DFP6BR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 9×9 mm 0.65 mm pitch 169-pin BGA package, absence of LCD/PXP graphics acceleration, single Ethernet controller with IEEE 1588 support, and 114 GPIOs (112 tightly coupled to the core clock).
Technical Context
The MIMXRT1041DFP6BR implements a single Arm Cortex-M7 core with 32 KB I-cache, 32 KB D-cache, and full VFPv5 FPU, operating at 600 MHz with MPU support for up to 16 protection regions. Its memory subsystem includes 128 KB boot ROM and 512 KB FlexRAM shared between TCM and OCRAM, managed via dynamic allocation in 32 KB granularity.
Peripheral integration centers on real-time control: four FlexPWM modules (up to 8 channels total, 16-bit resolution), four Quad Timers with quadrature decoding, two ADCs (12-channel total), four ACMPs, and dual FlexCAN controllers - one supporting CAN FD protocol with up to 64-byte payloads at 8 Mbps. No LCDIF or PXP hardware is present.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar crossover processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIMXRT1041DJM6B | Same core, RAM, and peripheral set but in 11×11 mm 0.8 mm pitch BGA package - larger footprint, lower density routing, higher thermal mass. | Preferred where PCB rework tolerance or thermal margin is prioritized over miniaturization. | Select when board layout constraints allow larger BGA or when thermal dissipation requirements exceed 9×9 mm package capability. |
| MIMXRT1042DFP6B | Adds LCDIF and PXP graphics acceleration; otherwise identical clock, RAM, and I/O count - no additional security or connectivity features. | Suitable for designs requiring local RGB or MPU-interface displays with hardware-accelerated 2D composition. | Choose only if display functionality is required; MIMXRT1041DFP6BR avoids unnecessary silicon cost and power when graphics are unused. |
Compared with MIMXRT1041DJM6B, the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR offers higher PCB component density and finer-pitch routing; compared with MIMXRT1042DFP6B, it removes unused LCD/PXP logic to reduce dynamic power and die cost - making it optimal for headless industrial controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR?
The MIMXRT1041DFP6BR operates at a maximum core frequency of 600 MHz. This is achieved using the Arm Cortex-M7 processor with integrated 32 KB instruction and data caches, enabling high-throughput deterministic execution for real-time control tasks. The MIMXRT1041DFP6BR maintains this frequency across its commercial temperature range (0 to +95 °C) with appropriate voltage and cooling conditions.
Does the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR support LCD display interfaces?
No, the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR does not include LCDIF or PXP hardware. As confirmed in Table 1 of the i.MX RT1040 CEC datasheet, this variant explicitly omits LCD and pixel processing capabilities. For display-enabled variants, consider MIMXRT1042DFP6B or MIMXRT1043DFP6B. The MIMXRT1041DFP6BR is optimized for headless applications like motor control gateways and secure IoT nodes.
How much on-chip RAM does the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR have, and how is it allocated?
The MIMXRT1041DFP6BR integrates 512 KB of on-chip FlexRAM, which can be dynamically partitioned in 32 KB increments among I-TCM, D-TCM, and OCRAM. This allocation is configured at boot via the OCOTP fuse settings or runtime software. Unlike RT1043/RT1046, the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR does not include additional dedicated OCRAM - all 512 KB is flexibly managed by the FlexRAM controller.
What CAN protocols are supported by the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR?
The MIMXRT1041DFP6BR includes two FlexCAN modules: one compliant with CAN 2.0B (standard/extended frames) and one supporting CAN with Flexible Data-Rate (CAN FD), capable of payloads up to 64 bytes and bit rates up to 8 Mbps. Both controllers operate independently and are fully supported in the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR's peripheral set as specified in Table 1 of the official datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR use?
The MIMXRT1041DFP6BR uses a 169-pin plastic BGA package with 9 × 9 mm body size and 0.65 mm ball pitch (designated "FP" in NXP's nomenclature). This package is distinct from the "JM" (11×11 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) and "AE" (7×7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) variants - the MIMXRT1041DFP6BR specifically matches the FP suffix and is qualified for commercial temperature operation (0 to +95 °C).
