Product details
Overview
MIMXRT117HAVM8A from NXP Semiconductors is an automotive-qualified dual-core crossover processor featuring an Arm Cortex-M7 core running at 800 MHz and an Arm Cortex-M4 core at 400 MHz, with 2 MB on-chip SRAM (including 512 KB configurable TCM), integrated DCDC/LDO power management, and support for MIPI DSI/CSI, parallel LCD, FlexPWM, and three FlexCAN-FD interfaces. It targets high-reliability automotive instrument clusters and industrial HMIs requiring real-time control and rich multimedia.
For engineers reviewing the MIMXRT117HAVM8A datasheet, MIMXRT117HAVM8A pinout, MIMXRT117HAVM8A application, or MIMXRT117HAVM8A equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional differentiation within the i.MX RT1170 family, and validated alternative options for automotive-grade design-in.
Technical Context
The MIMXRT117HAVM8A implements a tightly coupled dual-core architecture where the Cortex-M7 handles high-performance tasks (e.g., graphics rendering via PXP/GPU2D, audio processing via four SAI modules) while the Cortex-M4 manages deterministic real-time functions (e.g., motor control via four FlexPWMs with 16-bit resolution and quadrature decoding). Both cores share access to 2 MB of on-chip RAM, with 512 KB flexibly allocated as TCM or OCRAM under FlexRAM control.
Its automotive qualification (-40°C to +125°C junction) is enabled by integrated hardware security including High Assurance Boot (HAB), Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM) with PKHA/RNG4/AES-128, Secure Non-Volatile Storage (SNVS), and tamper detection. Power delivery is simplified by on-die DCDC regulators (1.0 V and 1.8 V outputs) and LDOs, eliminating external PMIC dependency in many designs.

Pinout & Package
289-pin plastic MAPBGA package, 14 mm × 14 mm body size, 0.8 mm ball pitch, RoHS-compliant, automotive temperature grade (-40°C to +125°C junction).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-core automotive crossover processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MIMXRT1176AVM8A | Includes GPU2D vector graphics acceleration and full PXP feature set; higher M7 TCM allocation (512 KB vs 256 KB shared in HAVM8A). | Required for OpenVG 1.1 compliance and real-time Bezier curve rendering in advanced HUD applications. | Select when vector graphics performance exceeds PXP-only capabilities and budget allows premium feature set. |
| MIMXRT1172AVM8A | Omits MIPI DSI/CSI, GPU2D, and second 1 Gb ENET; retains parallel LCD, FlexCAN-FD ×3, and same dual-core clock speeds. | Suitable for cost-sensitive instrument clusters using LVDS or RGB panels without camera input or AVB streaming. | Choose for entry-level automotive HMIs where display bandwidth and vision processing are not required. |
Compared with MIMXRT117HAVM8A, MIMXRT1176AVM8A adds vector graphics acceleration for HUD rendering but increases cost and power, while MIMXRT1172AVM8A removes MIPI interfaces and GPU2D to reduce BOM and thermal load - making HAVM8A the optimal balance of display capability, security, and automotive I/O for mid-tier digital clusters.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for MIMXRT117HAVM8A?
MIMXRT117HAVM8A is qualified for automotive use with a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. This rating is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements and applies to all functional blocks including the Cortex-M7/M4 cores, memory subsystem, and I/O peripherals. Thermal design must ensure case temperature remains within limits under maximum power dissipation conditions specified in the IMXRT1170AEC datasheet Section 4.2.
Does MIMXRT117HAVM8A support encrypted boot from external Flash?
Yes, MIMXRT117HAVM8A supports encrypted boot via On-the-Fly AES Decryption (OTFAD) for FlexSPI-connected NOR/NAND flash. The OTFAD module performs AES-128 Counter Mode decryption in hardware, enabling secure XIP execution without exposing decrypted firmware in external memory. This functionality is enabled through fuse programming and requires proper key provisioning using NXP's HAB tools during manufacturing.
How much SRAM is available for general-purpose use in MIMXRT117HAVM8A?
MIMXRT117HAVM8A provides 2 MB of on-chip SRAM, with 1.25 MB dedicated OCRAM available for general-purpose use. The remaining 768 KB is configurable as TCM (512 KB shared between M7 and M4, 256 KB M4-only) - meaning actual allocatable non-TCM RAM is fixed at 1.25 MB unless TCM allocation is reduced via FlexRAM configuration at boot time.
Which display interfaces are active on MIMXRT117HAVM8A?
MIMXRT117HAVM8A supports MIPI DSI (2-lane, 1.5 Gbps), MIPI CSI (2-lane, 1.5 Gbps), parallel RGB LCD via eLCDIF (WXGA@60fps), and enhanced LCDIFv2 (8-layer alpha blending). All four interfaces are simultaneously available per the i.MX RT1170AEC datasheet Table 1 and Figure 3 block diagram - enabling dual-display architectures such as driver-facing cluster + passenger infotainment panel.
Is MIMXRT117HAVM8A pin-compatible with other i.MX RT1170 variants in the same package?
Yes, all i.MX RT1170 variants with the "VM" suffix (e.g., MIMXRT1176AVM8A, MIMXRT1172AVM8A) share identical 289-pin MAPBGA mechanical footprint and ball assignment. Signal functionality differs per variant (e.g., MIPI DSI present in HAVM8A but absent in 1172AVM8A), but PCB layout and thermal design are fully reusable across the family - enabling scalable platform development.
