Product details
Overview
MIMXRT1176CVM8A from NXP is a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-M7 (1 GHz) + Cortex®-M4 (400 MHz) crossover MCU with 2 MB on-chip SRAM (512 KB M7 TCM + 256 KB M4 TCM + 1 MB RAM), hardware AES-128/256 and ECC-protected memory, and support for MIPI DSI/CSI, TSN Ethernet, and OpenVG™ 1.1 graphics acceleration - deployed in industrial HMI and edge AI inference gateways.
For engineers reviewing the MIMXRT1176CVM8A datasheet, MIMXRT1176CVM8A pinout, MIMXRT1176CVM8A application, or MIMXRT1176CVM8A equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-core real-time determinism, 12 ns interrupt latency, integrated memory crypto engine for XIP from HyperFlash™, and industrial temperature qualification (–40 °C to +105 °C).
Technical Context
The MIMXRT1176CVM8A implements asymmetric dual-core architecture: the Cortex-M7 core handles high-throughput tasks (GUI rendering, ML inference via eIQ™) while the Cortex-M4 executes deterministic real-time control loops (motor FOC, PWM timing). Both cores share access to the 2 MB SRAM pool with configurable ECC coverage and unified external memory controller supporting Octal SPI, HyperRAM™, SDRAM, and NAND.
Its security subsystem includes HAB v4, on-the-fly AES decryption for execute-in-place, TRNG, RSA-4096, and tamper detection - all certified under EdgeLock™ Assurance. The device integrates TSN-capable 1 Gbps Ethernet MAC with AVB/TSN timestamping and dual CAN-FD controllers for time-synchronized industrial networking.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIMXRT1175CVM8A | No MIPI DSI/CSI, no OpenVG™, no TSN Ethernet - lacks display and time-synchronized networking capabilities | Suitable for headless industrial controllers or cost-sensitive gateways without display or TSN | Select when display output and sub-microsecond time sync are not required - lower BOM cost and simplified layout |
| MIMXRT1176DVMAA | Same core configuration and peripherals, but automotive-qualified (–40 °C to +125 °C) and packaged in 289 MAPBGA with different ball map | Targeted at automotive ADAS domain controllers and infotainment gateways requiring AEC-Q100 Grade 2 | Choose for automotive environments - verify PCB redesign needed due to non-pin-compatible ballout vs. CVM8A |
Compared with MIMXRT1175CVM8A, the MIMXRT1176CVM8A adds MIPI DSI/CSI and TSN Ethernet for display-rich, time-coordinated systems; compared with MIMXRT1176DVMAA, it offers industrial qualification with identical pinout and footprint - enabling drop-in replacement in non-automotive thermal environments.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the MIMXRT1176CVM8A?
The MIMXRT1176CVM8A is qualified for industrial operation from –40 °C to +105 °C ambient temperature. This rating is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104 and applies to the full functional specification - including dual-core operation at 1 GHz/400 MHz, 2 MB SRAM access, and TSN Ethernet timing - without derating. The MIMXRT1176CVM8A does not support automotive-grade temperature ranges.
Does the MIMXRT1176CVM8A support execute-in-place (XIP) from encrypted external flash?
Yes, the MIMXRT1176CVM8A includes a dedicated memory crypto engine that performs on-the-fly AES-128/256 decryption of instructions fetched directly from Quad/Octal SPI or HyperFlash™ devices. This enables secure XIP without boot-time decryption delays, preserving real-time determinism. The MIMXRT1176CVM8A supports this feature across all supported flash interfaces and is validated in NXP's MCUXpresso SDK examples.
How many Ethernet interfaces does the MIMXRT1176CVM8A integrate, and what are their capabilities?
The MIMXRT1176CVM8A integrates one 1 Gbps Ethernet MAC with full TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) support, including IEEE 802.1AS (gPTP), 802.1Qbv (time-aware shaper), and 802.1Qci (per-stream filtering). It also includes a second 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC with IEEE 1588 timestamping. Both interfaces operate concurrently. The MIMXRT1176CVM8A does not include integrated PHYs - external PHYs are required for physical layer connectivity.
What display interfaces are supported by the MIMXRT1176CVM8A?
The MIMXRT1176CVM8A supports MIPI DSI (2-lane, up to 2.5 Gbps/lane), parallel LCD (up to 24-bit RGB), and MIPI CSI-2 (4-lane) for camera input. It also integrates the Pixel Processing Unit (PXP) for hardware-accelerated image operations and OpenVG™ 1.1 for vector graphics rendering. These interfaces are fully operational under the industrial temperature range and are supported in NXP's LVGL and Qt for MCUs reference stacks.
Is the MIMXRT1176CVM8A pin-compatible with other i.MX RT1170 family members in the same package variant?
The MIMXRT1176CVM8A shares the same 289-ball MAPBGA package footprint and pinout with MIMXRT1171CVM8A, MIMXRT1172CVM8A, MIMXRT1173CVM8A, and MIMXRT1175CVM8A - enabling hardware reuse across performance tiers. However, peripheral enablement (e.g., MIPI DSI, TSN, OpenVG™) varies by part number and is controlled by fuse settings and software configuration. The MIMXRT1176CVM8A is not pin-compatible with DVMAA or AVM8A variants due to differing ball maps.
