Product details
Overview
MIMXRT1064CVL5A 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 hardware-accelerated security including HAB, DCP (AES-128/SHA-256), BEE, and TRNG - deployed in industrial HMI and motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MIMXRT1064CVL5A datasheet, MIMXRT1064CVL5A pinout, MIMXRT1064CVL5A application, or MIMXRT1064CVL5A equivalent, key selection criteria include its 196-pin 10 × 10 mm MAPBGA package, -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature grade, integrated DCDC/LDO power management, FlexPWM for servo drive timing, and dual FlexCAN FD interfaces for deterministic fieldbus communication.
Technical Context
The MIMXRT1064CVL5A implements a single Arm Cortex-M7 core with 32 KB I-cache, 32 KB D-cache, VFPv5 FPU, and MPU supporting 16 protection regions. Its memory subsystem includes boot ROM (128 KB), 4 MB Flash, and 1 MB SRAM split into 512 KB OCRAM and 512 KB TCM/OCRAM with flexible allocation.
Peripherals are organized via IOMUXC for pin multiplexing and XBAR/AOI for cross-triggering. Real-time capabilities are reinforced by four FlexPWM modules (16-bit resolution, up to 8 channels each), four Quad Timers with quadrature decoding, and four ENC modules - all tightly coupled to the 528 MHz core clock without software intervention.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar crossover processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIMXRT1064CVJ5A | Same core, memory, and peripheral set; differs only in 196-pin 12 × 12 mm MAPBGA (0.8 mm pitch) package. | Requires larger PCB area and different thermal pad layout; identical electrical behavior and software compatibility. | Select when board layout accommodates 12 × 12 mm footprint and higher pin pitch simplifies routing in dense designs. |
| MIMXRT1052CVL5B | Omits 4 MB on-chip Flash (0 MB), reduces SRAM to 512 KB, removes one USB OTG, one Ethernet, one SAI, and one FlexCAN FD channel. | Suitable for cost-sensitive motor control where external QSPI Flash is acceptable and dual Ethernet is unnecessary. | Choose when Flash size and dual network interfaces are not required - reduces BOM cost by ~18% with minimal firmware porting effort. |
Compared with MIMXRT1064CVL5A, MIMXRT1064CVJ5A offers identical functionality in a larger package for easier assembly, while MIMXRT1052CVL5B trades on-chip Flash and connectivity for lower unit cost - making the MIMXRT1064CVL5A optimal for space-constrained, feature-rich industrial edge nodes requiring secure boot and dual-fieldbus support.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MIMXRT1064CVL5A?
The MIMXRT1064CVL5A operates at a maximum frequency of 528 MHz. This speed is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) and is achieved using the on-chip PLL with stable power delivery from the integrated DCDC regulator. The MIMXRT1064CVL5A does not support the 600 MHz variant found in some other i.MX RT106x SKUs.
Does the MIMXRT1064CVL5A include on-chip Flash memory, and how is it used?
Yes, the MIMXRT1064CVL5A integrates 4 MB of on-chip Flash memory. It serves as non-volatile storage for boot code, application firmware, and configuration data. The Flash supports XIP (execute-in-place) operation for FlexSPI-connected devices but is primarily used for secure boot images validated by High Assurance Boot (HAB) before execution begins.
How many PWM channels does the MIMXRT1064CVL5A support for motor control applications?
The MIMXRT1064CVL5A supports up to 32 PWM channels via four FlexPWM modules (eight channels per module). Each channel provides 16-bit resolution, programmable dead-time insertion, fault protection inputs, and hardware synchronization - enabling precise three-phase inverter control, stepper microstepping, and multi-axis servo coordination in a single MIMXRT1064CVL5A device.
What security features are hardware-accelerated in the MIMXRT1064CVL5A?
The MIMXRT1064CVL5A includes hardware-accelerated security features: High Assurance Boot (HAB) for signed image verification, Data Co-Processor (DCP) for AES-128/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 tamper-resistant RTC. These operate independently of the Cortex-M7 core to maintain real-time performance.
Is the MIMXRT1064CVL5A pin-compatible with other i.MX RT106x variants like MIMXRT1064CVJ5A?
No, the MIMXRT1064CVL5A is not pin-compatible with MIMXRT1064CVJ5A. While both are 196-pin MAPBGA devices, the MIMXRT1064CVL5A uses a 10 × 10 mm body with 0.65 mm pitch, whereas the MIMXRT1064CVJ5A uses a 12 × 12 mm body with 0.8 mm pitch. Pin assignments differ due to distinct ball maps - PCB redesign is required for substitution.
