FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MIMXRT1064DVL6A?

The MIMXRT1064DVL6A operates at a maximum core frequency of 600 MHz, as confirmed in Table 1 of the IMXRT1064CEC datasheet Rev. 3. This frequency is sustained under commercial temperature conditions (0–85°C junction) with appropriate voltage regulation and thermal management. The MIMXRT1064DVL6A achieves this speed using its Arm Cortex-M7 core with 32 KB instruction and data caches, enabling high instruction-per-cycle throughput for real-time control tasks.

Does the MIMXRT1064DVL6A include on-chip Flash memory?

Yes, the MIMXRT1064DVL6A integrates 4 MB of on-chip Flash memory, as specified in both the Introduction section and Table 1 of the IMXRT1064CEC datasheet. This Flash is used for secure boot, firmware storage, and XIP execution - eliminating dependency on external non-volatile memory in many designs. The MIMXRT1064DVL6A leverages this Flash in conjunction with HAB and BEE for authenticated and encrypted code loading.

What package type and pin count does the MIMXRT1064DVL6A use?

The MIMXRT1064DVL6A uses a 196-pin MAPBGA package measuring 10 × 10 mm with 0.65 mm pitch, as documented in the Package Information section and Table 1 of the IMXRT1064CEC datasheet. This package is distinct from the 12 × 12 mm variant (e.g., MIMXRT1064DVJ6A) and is optimized for compact industrial PCB layouts while maintaining thermal dissipation capability for continuous 600 MHz operation.

Which security features are implemented in the MIMXRT1064DVL6A?

The MIMXRT1064DVL6A implements multiple hardware-accelerated security features: High Assurance Boot (HAB) for signed firmware validation, 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 RTC. These are confirmed in Sections 1.1 and Table 1 of the IMXRT1064CEC datasheet and are active in the MIMXRT1064DVL6A without external components.

How many ADC channels does the MIMXRT1064DVL6A support?

The MIMXRT1064DVL6A supports 20 total ADC input channels - organized as two independent 12-bit ADC modules (ADC1 and ADC2), each with 16 channels, as stated in Section 1.1 and Table 2 of the IMXRT1064CEC datasheet. Both ADCs operate at up to 1 MSPS aggregate sampling rate and share reference pins (VREFH/VREFL), enabling simultaneous current/voltage sensing in motor control and power monitoring applications using the MIMXRT1064DVL6A.
