It targets industrial HMI, motor control, and smart appliance applications requiring real-time responsiveness and rich multimedia I/O.

For engineers reviewing the MIMXRT1062CVL5B datasheet, MIMXRT1062CVL5B pinout, MIMXRT1062CVL5B application, or MIMXRT1062CVL5B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 196-pin 10×10 mm MAPBGA package, -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature grade, dual FlexSPI with XIP support, 2×12-bit ADCs (20-channel total), and full peripheral complement including SAI×3, SPDIF, MQS, and FlexPWM×4 for motor drive.

Technical Context

The MIMXRT1062CVL5B implements a single high-performance Arm Cortex-M7 core with 32 KB L1 instruction cache, 32 KB L1 data cache, and VFPv5 FPU, operating at up to 528 MHz. Its memory subsystem includes boot ROM (128 KB), flexibly allocatable TCM/OCRAM, and external memory interfaces (SDRAM, NAND/NOR, eMMC/SD, Quad SPI).

It integrates dedicated multimedia accelerators - PXP for 2D graphics (rotation, CSC, alpha blending), LCDIF supporting WXGA parallel RGB, and CSI for 24-bit camera input - alongside real-time peripherals: GPT×2, PIT×4, QTimer×4, ENC×4, FlexPWM×4 (16-bit, 8 channels), and WDOG×4. Security is enforced via HAB, DCP (AES-128/SHA-256), BEE (on-the-fly QSPI decryption), TRNG, and SNVS.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MIMXRT1062CVL5B?

The MIMXRT1062CVL5B operates at a maximum core frequency of 528 MHz. This speed is guaranteed across its full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) and supported by on-chip PLLs and voltage regulation. The 528 MHz rating applies specifically to the Arm Cortex-M7 core and is validated under worst-case silicon, voltage, and temperature conditions per NXP's IMXRT1060IEC datasheet Rev. 4.

Does the MIMXRT1062CVL5B support external SDRAM, and what are the timing limits?

Yes, the MIMXRT1062CVL5B supports 8-bit and 16-bit SDRAM interfaces with data rates up to SDRAM-166 (166 MHz clock, 333 MT/s). It implements a full SEMC (Serial and External Memory Controller) supporting burst lengths, CAS latency, and refresh timing programmable via registers. The MIMXRT1062CVL5B datasheet specifies tRC = 55 ns, tRP = 20 ns, and tRAS = 42 ns minimum for standard operation.

How many ADC channels does the MIMXRT1062CVL5B provide, and what is their resolution?

The MIMXRT1062CVL5B integrates two independent 12-bit successive-approximation ADCs (ADC1 and ADC2), totaling 20 usable input channels. Each ADC supports simultaneous sampling, hardware trigger synchronization, and programmable sample time. The effective resolution remains 12 bits across the full industrial temperature range, with INL specified at ±1.5 LSB and SNR at 66 dB typical per NXP's electrical characteristics table.

Is the MIMXRT1062CVL5B pin-compatible with other i.MX RT106x variants in the same package?

Yes, all i.MX RT106x parts in the 10×10 mm, 0.65 mm pitch MAPBGA package-including MIMXRT1061CVL5A/B, MIMXRT1062CVL5A/B, and MIMXRT1064CVL5B-are pin-compatible. Signal assignments, power domains, and mechanical footprint are identical; only functional enablement (e.g., LCDIF, CSI, PXP) differs per part number. This allows hardware reuse across performance tiers.

What security features are hardware-accelerated in the MIMXRT1062CVL5B?

The MIMXRT1062CVL5B includes three dedicated hardware security blocks: Data Co-Processor (DCP) for AES-128 (ECB/CBC) and SHA-1/256; Bus Encryption Engine (BEE) for on-the-fly AES-128 decryption of FlexSPI flash; and Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS) with tamper-resistant RTC and zeroizable master key. These operate independently of the Cortex-M7 core, enabling secure boot (HAB v4), encrypted firmware updates, and runtime key protection without software overhead.
