FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MIMXRT1061DVJ6B?

The MIMXRT1061DVJ6B operates at a maximum core frequency of 600 MHz, as specified in Table 10 ("Operating ranges") of the IMXRT1060CEC datasheet Rev. 4. This frequency is guaranteed across the commercial temperature range (0°C to +95°C junction) with appropriate voltage regulation and thermal management. The MIMXRT1061DVJ6B achieves this using its integrated DCDC converter and optimized clock tree.

Does the MIMXRT1061DVJ6B include an integrated DCDC converter?

Yes, the MIMXRT1061DVJ6B integrates a programmable DCDC converter supporting 0.9–1.3 V output in run mode, eliminating the need for an external PMIC in most designs. This DCDC powers the SOC core logic (VDD_SOC) and is documented in Section 4.2 ("System power and clocks") of the IMXRT1060CEC datasheet. External filtering components are required per Figure 4-1.

How many ADC channels does the MIMXRT1061DVJ6B support?

The MIMXRT1061DVJ6B integrates two 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC1 and ADC2), each supporting 16 input channels, for a total of 20 unique analog inputs. This is confirmed in Table 2 ("i.MX RT1060 modules list") and Section 4.8 ("Analog") of the IMXRT1060CEC datasheet. Channel mapping and sampling rates are defined in the reference manual.

Is the MIMXRT1061DVJ6B pin-compatible with the MIMXRT1062DVJ6B?

No, the MIMXRT1061DVJ6B and MIMXRT1062DVJ6B share the same 196-pin MAPBGA package (10 × 10 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) and identical pinout per Section 6.1 of the IMXRT1060CEC datasheet, but they are not functionally identical: MIMXRT1062DVJ6B exposes LCDIF, CSI, and PXP signals on otherwise unused pins, while MIMXRT1061DVJ6B repurposes those balls for GPIO or leaves them NC. PCB layout must match the target variant's signal mapping.

What security features are implemented in hardware on the MIMXRT1061DVJ6B?

The MIMXRT1061DVJ6B implements hardware-accelerated security including High Assurance Boot (HAB), Data Co-Processor (DCP) for AES-128/SHA-256/CRC-32, Bus Encryption Engine (BEE) for on-the-fly QSPI decryption, True Random Number Generator (TRNG), and Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS) with RTC. These are detailed in Sections 1.1 and 4.9 of the IMXRT1060CEC datasheet and require fuse programming for full enablement.
