NXP Semiconductors MIMXRT1064DVL6BR

Overview

MIMXRT1064DVL6BR from NXP Semiconductors is a crossover MCU based on the Arm Cortex-M7 core operating at 600 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 MIMXRT1064DVL6BR datasheet, MIMXRT1064DVL6BR pinout, MIMXRT1064DVL6BR application, or MIMXRT1064DVL6BR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 196-pin 10 × 10 mm MAPBGA package, 600 MHz real-time performance, integrated DCDC/LDO power management, FlexPWM for servo drive timing, and dual FlexCAN FD interfaces supporting up to 8 Mbps payload.

Technical Context

The MIMXRT1064DVL6BR 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 + 512 KB TCM/OCRAM configurable in 32 KB granularity.

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 total), four Quad Timers with quadrature decoding, and four ENC modules - all synchronized to the 600 MHz core clock without software overhead.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the MIMXRT1064DVL6BR?

The MIMXRT1064DVL6BR operates at a maximum core frequency of 600 MHz, as confirmed in Table 1 (page 6) and Section 1.1 "Features" of the IMXRT1064CEC Rev. 3 datasheet. This frequency is sustained under commercial temperature conditions (0–85°C) with proper power delivery and thermal management per Section 4.2 "System power and clocks".

Does the MIMXRT1064DVL6BR support secure boot, and how is it implemented?

Yes, the MIMXRT1064DVL6BR implements High Assurance Boot (HAB) using on-chip fuses and the CSU to authenticate signed firmware images before execution. The process leverages the DCP for SHA-256 hashing and AES-128 decryption, with keys stored in SNVS - all detailed in Section 5.1 "Security Overview" of the reference manual.

What package type and dimensions does the MIMXRT1064DVL6BR use?

The MIMXRT1064DVL6BR uses a 196-pin MAPBGA package measuring 10 × 10 mm with 0.65 mm pitch (package code VL), as specified in Section 7.1 "10 x 10 mm package information" (pages 87–98) of IMXRT1064CEC Rev. 3. It includes an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in industrial environments.

Can the MIMXRT1064DVL6BR execute code directly from external QuadSPI Flash?

Yes, the MIMXRT1064DVL6BR supports eXecute-In-Place (XIP) from QuadSPI Flash via its FlexSPI controller, enabling direct code execution without RAM loading. This capability is documented in Section 4.5 "External memory interface" and requires configuration of the FlexSPI LUT and AHB bus arbitration per the reference manual.

How many PWM channels does the MIMXRT1064DVL6BR provide, and what resolution do they support?

The MIMXRT1064DVL6BR integrates four FlexPWM modules, each supporting up to two independent 16-bit PWM channels (total 8 channels), with programmable dead-time insertion, fault monitoring, and complementary output pairs - as defined in Section 3.1 "Modules List" (Table 2) and Section 4.4 "System modules" of the datasheet.
