Product details
Overview
MIMXRT1051DVL6A from NXP Semiconductors is a 600 MHz Arm Cortex-M7 crossover processor in a 10 × 10 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, 196-pin MAPBGA package, featuring 512 KB on-chip RAM (configurable as TCM/OCRAM), dual USB 2.0 OTG with integrated PHY, and integrated DCDC/LDO power management - deployed in industrial HMI and motor control systems requiring real-time deterministic response.
For engineers reviewing the MIMXRT1051DVL6A datasheet, MIMXRT1051DVL6A pinout, MIMXRT1051DVL6A application, or MIMXRT1051DVL6A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 127 GPIO count, absence of LCD/CSI/PXP modules, commercial-grade 0–95°C junction temperature rating, and FlexSPI + SEMC dual external memory controller support for SDRAM/NAND/QuadSPI boot.
Technical Context
The MIMXRT1051DVL6A implements a single Arm Cortex-M7 core with 32 KB I-cache, 32 KB D-cache, and VFPv5 FPU, operating at 600 MHz with MPU support across 16 protection regions. Its memory subsystem integrates 96 KB boot ROM and 512 KB flexible RAM, managed by FlexRAM to allocate between I-TCM, D-TCM, and OCRAM in 32 KB granularity.
It supports dual-channel FlexSPI for XIP-capable QuadSPI Flash and SEMC for parallel memory interfaces (SDRAM-166, NAND, NOR, PSRAM), while omitting LCDIF, CSI, and PXP blocks per its MIMXRT1051 variant definition. Security is enforced via HAB, DCP (AES-128/SHA-256), BEE (on-the-fly QSPI decryption), TRNG, and SNVS with secure RTC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | Arm Cortex-M7 @ 600 MHz with 32 KB I-cache, 32 KB D-cache, and VFPv5 FPU - enables high-throughput real-time signal processing without Linux overhead. |
| On-Chip Memory | 512 KB RAM configurable as TCM/OCRAM + 96 KB boot ROM - allows deterministic low-latency code execution in TCM and flexible data buffering in OCRAM. |
| External Memory Support | SEMC + FlexSPI dual controllers - SEMC handles SDRAM/NAND/NOR/PSRAM; FlexSPI enables XIP from QuadSPI Flash, reducing boot time and BOM cost. |
| I/O & Connectivity | 127 GPIOs, 8× UART, 4× I²C, 4× SPI, 2× FlexCAN, 2× USB OTG (HS PHY), 1× 10/100 ENET w/ IEEE 1588 - supports industrial fieldbus, sensor aggregation, and time-synchronized edge nodes. |
| Analog Peripherals | 2× 12-bit ADC (20-channel), 4× ACMP, TSC - enables local analog sensing, motor current monitoring, and resistive touch HMI without external converters. |
| Power Management | Integrated DCDC + LDO regulators - eliminates need for external PMIC, simplifies power sequencing, and supports 0.9–1.3 V core voltage with over-current/voltage protection. |
| Security Features | HAB, DCP (AES-128/SHA-256), BEE (AES-128 CTR-mode QSPI decryption), TRNG, SNVS - provides secure boot, encrypted firmware storage, and tamper-resistant key storage for certified edge devices. |
Pinout & Package
196-pin MAPBGA, 10 × 10 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch - compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and thermal vias for industrial ambient operation up to +95°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_SOC | Core Power Supply | 1.0–1.3 V supply for Cortex-M7 core and TCM; requires tight regulation and local decoupling for 600 MHz stability. |
| VDD_ARM | ARM Core Power | Dedicated 0.9–1.3 V rail for CPU domain; isolated from VDD_SOC to enable independent DVFS scaling. |
| VDDA | Analog Reference | 3.3 V analog supply for ADC/ACMP/TSC; must be filtered separately to maintain 12-bit accuracy. |
| BOOT_MODE0/1 | Boot Configuration | Strapped at reset to select boot source (FlexSPI, SEMC, SD/eMMC, or USB); determines initial memory map and ROM vector table location. |
| ENET_RXD0–3 / TXD0–3 | Ethernet PHY Interface | RMII/MII-capable 10/100 Mbps interface with IEEE 1588 timestamping - enables precise time synchronization in industrial automation networks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar crossover processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIMXRT1051DVJ6B | Same core, memory, and peripheral set but in 12 × 12 mm, 0.8 mm pitch MAPBGA - larger footprint, higher thermal mass. | Preferred for designs needing enhanced thermal dissipation or legacy 0.8 mm pitch PCB tooling compatibility. | Select when board space permits larger package or when migrating from older i.MX RT105x designs using VN/VJ footprints. |
| MIMXRT1052DVL6A | Adds LCDIF, CSI, and PXP graphics acceleration; otherwise identical clock, memory, and I/O specs. | Suitable for HMI with embedded display (e.g., 7" RGB LCD) or camera-based inspection - not required for headless control. | Choose only if display/video processing is essential; MIMXRT1051DVL6A avoids unnecessary silicon cost and power draw for non-display use cases. |
Compared with MIMXRT1051DVJ6B, MIMXRT1051DVL6A offers identical functionality in a smaller 10 × 10 mm footprint for space-constrained industrial enclosures; versus MIMXRT1052DVL6A, it removes unused display logic to reduce cost, power, and EMI emissions in motor control and gateway applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MIMXRT1051DVL6A?
The MIMXRT1051DVL6A operates at a maximum core frequency of 600 MHz. This is achieved using the Arm Cortex-M7 core with integrated L1 caches and FPU, and is validated across the full 0–95°C commercial temperature range. The MIMXRT1051DVL6A datasheet specifies this frequency under defined voltage and thermal conditions, and no overclocking or binning beyond 600 MHz is supported.
Does the MIMXRT1051DVL6A include an LCD controller or camera interface?
No, the MIMXRT1051DVL6A explicitly omits the LCDIF, CSI, and PXP modules - as confirmed in Table 1 of the IMXRT1050CEC datasheet. This distinguishes it from the MIMXRT1052 series and makes the MIMXRT1051DVL6A suitable for headless control applications where display/video acceleration is unnecessary.
What external memory interfaces does the MIMXRT1051DVL6A support?
The MIMXRT1051DVL6A supports two concurrent external memory controllers: SEMC for parallel interfaces (8/16-bit SDRAM, NAND, NOR, PSRAM) and FlexSPI for serial flash (dual-channel QuadSPI with XIP support). These are fully documented in the MIMXRT1051DVL6A electrical characteristics and memory interface sections of the IMXRT1050CEC datasheet.
How many ADC channels are available on the MIMXRT1051DVL6A?
The MIMXRT1051DVL6A integrates two 12-bit SAR ADC modules (ADC1 and ADC2), collectively supporting up to 20 input channels. Each ADC includes dedicated sample-and-hold and programmable conversion sequences, enabling simultaneous sampling for motor current monitoring or multi-sensor acquisition in industrial control applications.
Is the MIMXRT1051DVL6A pin-compatible with other i.MX RT1050 variants?
The MIMXRT1051DVL6A shares the same 196-pin MAPBGA mechanical footprint and pinout as MIMXRT1051DVL6B and MIMXRT1052DVL6A - all using the VL (10 × 10 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) package variant. However, functional pin assignments differ where peripherals like LCDIF or CSI are absent; thus, PCB layout is interchangeable only among VL-package parts, but firmware must match the specific variant's peripheral enablement.
