Product details
Overview
MIMXRT1175CVM8A from NXP is a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M7 (1 GHz) + Cortex®-M4 (400 MHz) crossover MCU with 2 MB total SRAM (512 KB M7 TCM + 256 KB M4 TCM + 1 MB on-chip RAM), hardware AES-128/256 encryption, and support for Quad/Octal SPI, HyperFlash™, HyperRAM™, SDRAM, and NAND/NOR Flash - deployed in industrial HMI and edge ML inference systems.
For engineers reviewing the MIMXRT1175CVM8A datasheet, MIMXRT1175CVM8A pinout, MIMXRT1175CVM8A application, or MIMXRT1175CVM8A equivalent, key selection factors include dual-core real-time determinism, on-chip memory ECC configuration, secure boot enforcement via HAB, Ethernet AVB/TSN readiness, and 289-ball MAPBGA package compatibility with i.MX RT1170 family layout reuse.
Technical Context
The MIMXRT1175CVM8A implements asymmetric dual-core execution: the Cortex-M7 core handles high-throughput tasks (GUI rendering, ML model inference) while the Cortex-M4 manages deterministic real-time control loops (motor PWM, sensor acquisition) with sub-12 ns interrupt latency. Memory subsystem includes configurable ECC coverage across all SRAM blocks and dedicated TCMs for zero-wait-state code execution.
Security is enforced at silicon level via EdgeLock™ Assurance–certified hardware: ROM-based secure boot (HAB), AES engine supporting execute-in-place decryption from encrypted Quad/Octal SPI flash, TRNG, RSA-4096, ECDSA, and tamper-detection circuitry - all operating independently of software stack integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Cores | Arm Cortex-M7 @ 1 GHz + Cortex-M4 @ 400 MHz - enables concurrent high-performance compute and hard real-time control without OS-level scheduling overhead. |
| Total SRAM | 2 MB (512 KB M7 TCM + 256 KB M4 TCM + 1 MB on-chip RAM) - supports large frame buffers, neural network weights, and dual-core working sets without external DRAM. |
| Memory Crypto | AES-128/256 engine with execute-in-place (XIP) decryption - allows secure boot and runtime code execution directly from encrypted Quad/Octal SPI flash. |
| Ethernet | 10/100/1000 Mbps ENET w/ IEEE 1588, AVB, and TSN - enables time-synchronized industrial networking and deterministic audio/video streaming. |
| Security | HAB v4, RSA-4096, ECDSA, TRNG, tamper detection, and EdgeLock™ Assurance certification - meets IEC 62443-3-3 SL2 requirements for secure firmware lifecycle management. |
| Package | 289-ball MAPBGA (14 × 14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) - matches footprint of other i.MX RT117x variants for board-level scalability and BOM rationalization. |
| Temperature Range | Commercial grade: 0 °C to 95 °C - validated for non-automotive embedded applications including industrial HMIs and edge gateways. |
Pinout & Package
289-ball MAPBGA package (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.8 mm ball pitch), RoHS-compliant, lead-free, moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3). Pinout conforms to i.MX RT1170 family standard ball map; critical signal groups include dual eMMC/SD interfaces, 3× CAN-FD controllers, 12× UART, 6× I²C, 6× SPI, MIPI DSI/CSI (not enabled on MIMXRT1175CVM8A per family configuration table), and dedicated secure debug (Secure JTAG/SWD).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD_SOC | Main SoC power supply (1.0 V) | Supplies Cortex-M7/M4 cores, internal LDOs, and system logic; requires low-noise regulation and local decoupling. |
| VDD_USB | USB PHY power (3.3 V) | Independent rail for USB 2.0 OTG PHY operation; must be isolated from digital I/O domains. |
| ENET1_MDC | Ethernet MDIO clock | Drives IEEE 802.3 management interface for PHY configuration; requires controlled impedance trace routing. |
| QSPI_B_DATA0 | Quad SPI data line 0 | Primary XIP interface for encrypted boot image storage; supports 133 MHz DDR read timing for <100 ns access latency. |
| GPIO_AD_00 | General-purpose I/O (flexible function) | Configurable as FlexPWM output, ADC trigger, or UART RX - enables shared pin usage across multiple peripheral modes. |
| BOOT_MODE0 | Boot configuration strap | Pulled low at reset to select Quad SPI flash boot; fixed during production to enforce secure boot path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-core asymmetric architecture | Enables simultaneous GUI rendering (M7) and motor control loop execution (M4) without RTOS inter-core synchronization latency. |
| On-chip SRAM with configurable ECC | Allows selective ECC enablement per memory block - balancing reliability vs. performance for safety-critical vs. throughput-critical workloads. |
| Hardware-accelerated cryptography | Offloads AES, SHA-2, ECDSA, and RSA operations from CPU - preserves M7/M4 cycles for application logic and reduces boot time by >40% vs. software-only crypto. |
| Multi-protocol Ethernet controller | Single MAC supports IEEE 1588 timestamping, AVB traffic shaping, and TSN time-aware shapers - eliminates need for external TSN switch in distributed control nodes. |
| Flexible memory interface matrix | Supports concurrent use of Octal SPI (code), SDRAM (frame buffer), and eMMC (log storage) - removes external memory arbitration logic and simplifies PCB layer count. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-core crossover MCU applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIMXRT1176CVM8A | Includes MIPI DSI/CSI interfaces and tamper protection circuitry not present in MIMXRT1175CVM8A; identical CPU clocks, SRAM, and security engines. | Required for designs needing direct display/camera connectivity or enhanced physical anti-tampering; adds $1.20 BOM cost. | Select when MIPI video pipeline or certified tamper response is mandatory; otherwise MIMXRT1175CVM8A offers optimal cost/performance balance. |
| MIMXRT1172CVM8A | Lacks Cortex-M4 core and associated TCM/ECC; M7 only at 1 GHz; no hardware AES engine or HAB support; reduced peripheral set (no CAN-FD, fewer UART/I²C). | Suitable for non-secure, single-threaded GUI applications without real-time control; cannot run secure boot or execute encrypted code from flash. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-security-critical HMIs where dual-core determinism and cryptographic acceleration are unnecessary. |
Compared with MIMXRT1176CVM8A, MIMXRT1175CVM8A removes unused video interfaces to lower unit cost while retaining full dual-core performance and EdgeLock™ security - making it ideal for industrial control nodes requiring deterministic latency but no display output. Versus MIMXRT1172CVM8A, it delivers verified real-time isolation and hardware crypto essential for certified edge AI deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of each core in the MIMXRT1175CVM8A?
The MIMXRT1175CVM8A features an Arm Cortex-M7 core rated at up to 1 GHz and a Cortex-M4 core rated at up to 400 MHz. Both frequencies are guaranteed for commercial-grade operation (0 °C to 95 °C). The MIMXRT1175CVM8A does not support industrial or automotive temperature grades per its qualification row in the family fact sheet.
Does the MIMXRT1175CVM8A support MIPI DSI or MIPI CSI interfaces?
No, the MIMXRT1175CVM8A does not support MIPI DSI or MIPI CSI interfaces. According to the i.MX RT1170 family configuration table, these interfaces are excluded from the MIMXRT1175 variant. They are only available on MIMXRT1172, MIMXRT1173, and MIMXRT1176 devices. The MIMXRT1175CVM8A retains parallel LCD and CSI interfaces instead.
What memory encryption capabilities does the MIMXRT1175CVM8A provide?
The MIMXRT1175CVM8A includes a hardware AES-128/256 engine supporting execute-in-place (XIP) decryption from Quad/Octal SPI and HyperFlash™. It also integrates a memory crypto engine for on-the-fly decryption of external SDRAM/LPSDRAM contents, and supports secure boot via HAB v4 with encrypted image validation before execution.
Is the MIMXRT1175CVM8A pin-compatible with other i.MX RT1170 family members?
Yes, the MIMXRT1175CVM8A uses the same 289-ball MAPBGA package (14 mm × 14 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) as all other i.MX RT1170 family members listed in the fact sheet. Signal ball mapping is identical across variants, enabling drop-in replacement for most peripherals - though unused functions (e.g., MIPI pins on MIMXRT1175CVM8A) remain unconnected.
What security certifications apply to the MIMXRT1175CVM8A?
The MIMXRT1175CVM8A is part of NXP's EdgeLock™ Assurance program, which includes design assurance aligned with IEC 62443-3-3 SL2. It implements HAB v4 for secure boot, hardware TRNG, RSA-4096, ECDSA, SHA-2, and tamper detection circuitry - all validated under NXP's Common Criteria EAL5+ evaluation for the broader i.MX RT1170 platform.
