It delivers real-time deterministic performance for industrial HMI, motor control, and smart appliance applications requiring high-resolution display, camera interface, and secure boot.

For engineers reviewing the MIMXRT1062CVL5A datasheet, MIMXRT1062CVL5A pinout, MIMXRT1062CVL5A application, or MIMXRT1062CVL5A equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, functional pin roles, security features (HAB/DCP/BEE), and validated alternative parts - all specific to the 10 × 10 mm, 0.65 mm pitch, 196-pin MAPBGA commercial-grade variant.

Technical Context

The MIMXRT1062CVL5A implements a single Arm Cortex-M7 core with 32 KB I-cache, 32 KB D-cache, FPU (VFPv5), and MPU (16 protection regions), tightly coupled to 512 KB I/D-TCM and 512 KB general-purpose OCRAM. Its memory subsystem includes boot ROM (128 KB), SEMC for SDRAM/NAND/NOR, and dual FlexSPI supporting XIP from Quad SPI flash.

It integrates full multimedia capability: parallel RGB LCDIF (WXGA), 24-bit CSI camera interface, PXP 2D graphics engine (rotation, CSC, alpha blending), three SAI audio modules (I2S/TDM), SPDIF, and MQS. Security is hardware-accelerated via HAB, DCP (AES-128/SHA-256), BEE (on-the-fly QSPI decryption), TRNG, and SNVS with secure RTC.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MIMXRT1062CVL5A?

The MIMXRT1062CVL5A operates at a maximum core frequency of 528 MHz, as specified in Table 10 ("Operating ranges") of the IMXRT1060IEC Rev. 4 datasheet. This frequency is guaranteed across the full commercial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) with proper power delivery and thermal management. The MIMXRT1062CVL5A achieves this speed using its integrated DCDC regulator and optimized clock tree, enabling deterministic real-time response without external PLL components.

Does the MIMXRT1062CVL5A support secure boot and cryptographic acceleration?

Yes, the MIMXRT1062CVL5A includes hardware-accelerated security features: High Assurance Boot (HAB) enforces signed firmware validation at startup; Data Co-Processor (DCP) supports AES-128 (ECB/CBC) and SHA-256 for OTA update integrity; Bus Encryption Engine (BEE) enables on-the-fly AES-128 decryption of XIP code from external QSPI flash. These functions are active and verified in the MIMXRT1062CVL5A silicon revision per the IMXRT1060IEC datasheet Section 1.1 and Table 1.

What display interfaces does the MIMXRT1062CVL5A support?

The MIMXRT1062CVL5A supports parallel RGB LCDIF (8/16/24-bit, up to WXGA resolution), smart LCD with 8080/MPU interface, and integrated PXP 2D graphics engine for rotation, color-space conversion, and alpha blending. Unlike the RT1061 variants, the MIMXRT1062CVL5A explicitly includes LCD/CSI/PXP in its feature set per Table 1 of IMXRT1060IEC Rev. 4 - enabling full HMI capability without external display controllers.

Is the MIMXRT1062CVL5A pin-compatible with other i.MX RT106x variants?

The MIMXRT1062CVL5A shares identical pinout and ball assignment with MIMXRT1061CVL5A, MIMXRT1064CVL5A, and MIMXRT106ACVL5B within the 10 × 10 mm, 0.65 mm pitch MAPBGA package family. All these parts use the same 196-ball layout defined in Section 6.1 of IMXRT1060IEC Rev. 4, allowing direct PCB reuse across performance and memory variants - provided software and power delivery match the selected derivative.

What camera sensor interfaces are available on the MIMXRT1062CVL5A?

The MIMXRT1062CVL5A includes a 24-bit parallel CSI interface supporting CCIR656, Bayer, RGB888, and YUV444 formats at up to 1280×960@30 fps, as confirmed in Table 1 and Figure 2 of the IMXRT1060IEC Rev. 4 datasheet. This CSI block is present in all MIMXRT1062 variants (including MIMXRT1062CVL5A) and is distinct from RT1061 derivatives, which omit CSI per the "Features" column in Table 1.
