Overview

MIMXRT1064CVJ5B from NXP Semiconductors is an Arm Cortex-M7-based crossover processor operating at 528 MHz, integrating 4 MB on-chip Flash, 1 MB on-chip RAM (512 KB configurable as TCM), dual USB 2.0 HS OTG with PHY, two 10/100M Ethernet controllers with IEEE 1588 support, and a full suite of industrial I/O including FlexCAN FD, Quad SPI, SAI, and LCDIF - deployed in HMI, motor control, and smart appliance edge nodes.

For engineers reviewing the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B datasheet, MIMXRT1064CVJ5B pinout, MIMXRT1064CVJ5B application, or MIMXRT1064CVJ5B equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12×12 mm 196-pin MAPBGA package, -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature rating, integrated DCDC/LDO power management, and hardware-accelerated security features (HAB, DCP, BEE, TRNG, SNVS).

Technical Context

The MIMXRT1064CVJ5B implements a single Arm Cortex-M7 core with 32 KB L1 instruction cache, 32 KB L1 data cache, and VFPv5 FPU, enabling deterministic real-time execution at 528 MHz. Its memory subsystem includes boot ROM (128 KB), 4 MB Flash, and 1 MB SRAM split into 512 KB OCRAM and 512 KB flexibly allocatable TCM/OCRAM.

It integrates SEMC for SDRAM/NAND/NOR/PSRAM, dual uSDHC supporting eMMC 4.5 (200 MB/s) and SD 3.0 (100 MB/s), and four FlexPWM modules with 16-bit resolution and fault protection - all coordinated via eDMA (32-channel) and XBAR/AOI interconnect, with hardware debug via CoreSight, SWD, and JTAG.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B?

The MIMXRT1064CVJ5B operates at a maximum core frequency of 528 MHz, as specified in the i.MX RT1064 datasheet (Rev. 3, 03/2021). This frequency is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) and supported by the on-chip PLL and voltage regulation. The MIMXRT1064CVJ5B does not support the 600 MHz variant - that option is reserved for other part numbers in the family.

Does the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B include on-chip Flash memory?

Yes, the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B integrates 4 MB of on-chip Flash memory, enabling execute-in-place (XIP) operation and eliminating the need for external non-volatile storage in many applications. This Flash is accessible via the FlexSPI interface and supports hardware encryption through the Bus Encryption Engine (BEE), which is fully functional in the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B.

What package type and pin count does the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B use?

The MIMXRT1064CVJ5B uses a 196-pin MAPBGA package measuring 12 mm × 12 mm with 0.8 mm ball pitch. This package is explicitly listed in Table 1 of the i.MX RT1064 datasheet for the CVJ5A/CVJ5B variants and is distinct from the 10×10 mm variant used by CVL5A/CVL5B. The pinout is documented in Section 7.2 of the datasheet.

Which security features are implemented in hardware on the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B?

The MIMXRT1064CVJ5B includes hardware-accelerated security features: High Assurance Boot (HAB) for authenticated boot, Data Co-Processor (DCP) supporting AES-128 and SHA-256, Bus Encryption Engine (BEE) for on-the-fly QSPI Flash decryption, True Random Number Generator (TRNG), and Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS) with secure RTC. All are active and verified in the CVJ5B variant per the datasheet feature table.

Can the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B support dual Ethernet with IEEE 1588 precision time protocol?

Yes, the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B integrates two independent 10/100M Ethernet controllers (ENET1 and ENET2), both with full hardware support for IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol, including timestamping of frames at the MAC layer. This capability is confirmed in the "Features" section of Table 1 and the Ethernet chapter of the reference manual for the MIMXRT1064CVJ5B.
