Product details
Overview
PVF30NN151CKU26 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Freescale) is a dual-core ARM-based application processor featuring an ARM Cortex-A5 core running at 266 MHz and an ARM Cortex-M4 core operating up to 167 MHz. It integrates 512 KB on-chip SRAM with ECC, dual 12-bit SAR ADCs (1 MS/s), dual 12-bit DACs, and supports LPDDR2/DDR3 memory interfaces. It targets industrial HMI, secure gateway, and edge-node control applications requiring real-time responsiveness alongside rich peripheral integration.
For engineers reviewing the PVF30NN151CKU26 datasheet, PVF30NN151CKU26 pinout, PVF30NN151CKU26 application, or PVF30NN151CKU26 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 176-pin LQFP-EP package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, security-disabled configuration, 1.5 MB total memory allocation, and dual-core asymmetric processing architecture optimized for concurrent OS execution and deterministic real-time tasks.
Technical Context
The PVF30NN151CKU26 implements an asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) architecture where the Cortex-A5 runs Linux or Android for high-level services while the Cortex-M4 handles time-critical I/O, motor control, or sensor fusion-communicating via shared memory and hardware semaphores. Its memory subsystem includes a 8/16-bit DRAM controller supporting LPDDR2 up to 400 MHz (ECC enabled only for 8-bit mode) and dual Quad SPI with XIP capability.
Security is implemented via ARM TrustZone, CAAM cryptographic acceleration module (16 KB secure RAM), SNVS with secure RTC, and High Assurance Boot (HAB) supporting encrypted boot-but this specific variant (NN = No Security) excludes CAAM and HAB functionality. Power management includes multiple stop/wait/run modes, peripheral clock gating, and low-voltage detection with programmable trip points.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the Cortex-A5 core in the PVF30NN151CKU26?
The PVF30NN151CKU26 features a fixed Cortex-A5 core speed of 266 MHz, as indicated by the "26" suffix in its part number. This is a factory-configured limit-not user-adjustable-and reflects the validated performance under full industrial temperature and voltage conditions. The PVF30NN151CKU26 does not support dynamic frequency scaling beyond this rated speed.
Does the PVF30NN151CKU26 include hardware cryptographic acceleration?
No, the PVF30NN151CKU26 does not include hardware cryptographic acceleration. Its "NN" designation indicates No Security, meaning the CAAM module, SNVS, and High Assurance Boot (HAB) are disabled. For cryptographic offload, consider the PVF30NS151CKU26 variant, which enables these features through fused security configuration.
What memory interfaces are supported by the PVF30NN151CKU26?
The PVF30NN151CKU26 supports LPDDR2/DDR3 via its 8/16-bit DRAM controller (up to 400 MHz, ECC only for 8-bit mode), 8/16-bit NAND Flash with ECC, 8/16/32-bit FlexBus for legacy peripherals, and dual Quad SPI with Execute-In-Place (XIP) capability. It does not support DDR4 or LPDDR3.
Is the PVF30NN151CKU26 pin-compatible with other Vybrid family members?
No, the PVF30NN151CKU26 is not pin-compatible with BGA-packaged Vybrid variants like MVF60NN151CMK40 due to fundamental package and ball/pad layout differences. Even among LQFP variants, pin assignments differ across speed grades and security options-always verify against the official PVF30NN151CKU26 pinout diagram before layout.
What is the role of the exposed pad (EP) in the PVF30NN151CKU26 LQFP package?
The exposed pad on the PVF30NN151CKU26 LQFP package must be soldered to a solid copper thermal pad on the PCB, connected to ground for optimal heat dissipation and electrical stability. It is not electrically isolated and contributes significantly to junction-to-board thermal resistance reduction-critical for sustained operation at 266 MHz in industrial ambient temperatures.
