N.º de pieza: MCIMX6L2DVN10AA ✓ ActivoMCIMX6L2DVN10AA Descripción general
What is an applications processor? An applications processor (AP) is a system-on-chip (SoC) microprocessor optimized for running rich operating systems (typically Linux, Android, or QNX) and multimedia workloads in embedded products. Applications processors sit above microcontrollers (MCUs) in the embedded hierarchy: an MCU integrates CPU + memory + peripherals for deterministic control tasks, while an AP adds high-performance CPU cores, graphics, image processing, and high-bandwidth DRAM interfaces for HMI and connectivity platforms. The i.MX6 family in particular is NXP's long-running Cortex-A9 platform, segmented into Solo (single core), Dual, Quad, DualLite, SoloLite, and UltraLite variants; the i.MX6SL SoloLite is the cost-down, low-power member targeting e-readers, wearables, and industrial HMI.
Key features of the MCIMX6L2DVN10AA include: single ARM Cortex-A9 core at 1.0 GHz, integrated 2D graphics accelerator (Vivante GC320), 32-bit DDR3 / DDR3L / LPDDR2 memory controller up to 800 MT/s, integrated power management unit with on-chip LDOs and DC-DC controllers, and a broad peripheral set including MMC/SD, USB 2.0 with PHY, UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, CAN, MIPI-CSI camera input, and parallel LCD output. The 432-MAPBGA package exposes the full multimedia peripheral set while keeping the board footprint compact at 13x13 mm.
Technically, the MCIMX6L2DVN10AA is the 'Megrez' sub-family of i.MX6SL: it shares the SoloLite IP block configuration with the broader i.MX6 family but at lower power. The 'AA' speed grade corresponds to the 1.0 GHz commercial temperature variant, while the 'D' in the MPN denotes the dual-marketing nomenclature (NXP reuses the i.MX6 designator across Solo/Dual/Lite). The integrated PMIC companion is typically the PF0100/PF0200 or MMPF0100. Designers should pair this part with a DDR3/LPDDR2 layout that follows the NXP hardware reference manual to meet signal-integrity on the 800 MT/s memory bus.
Typical applications include e-readers and e-paper signage, industrial human-machine interface (HMI) panels, portable medical devices, point-of-sale (POS) terminals, low-cost single-board computers, and connected IoT gateways with display. Its low-power SoloLite profile suits battery-powered products where an MCU lacks multimedia throughput.
When designing with this part, plan the power tree around an external PMIC; the integrated LDOs supply internal logic but cannot power DRAM directly. Provide a minimum of four PCB layers with continuous GND beneath the BGA, and route the DDR3 interface as a matched-length group per NXP's i.MX6SL design checklist to pass timing at 800 MT/s.

Aplicaciones típicas
MCIMX6L2DVN10AA es adecuado para 6 aplicacións: E-Reader and E-Paper Signage, Industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI) Panels, Portable Medical Devices, Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminals, Low-Cost Single-Board Computers (SBC), Connected IoT Gateways with Display.
E-Reader and E-Paper Signage
The MCIMX6L2DVN10AA's 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 core and integrated 2D graphics accelerator (Vivante GC320) make it well suited for driving e-paper displays in e-readers and battery-powered signage. According to the NXP i.MX6SL datasheet, the part's low-power SoloLite profile reduces active power draw versus the standard i.MX6, extending battery life across page-flip workloads. Pair with the parallel LCD interface to connect to common e-paper panels; the integrated 2D GPU handles partial-screen refreshes efficiently. Compared with MCU-class alternatives, the i.MX6SL adds Linux BSP support for content management and OTA updates, which is critical for retail signage fleets.

Industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI) Panels
For industrial HMI panels, the MCIMX6L2DVN10AA provides the right balance of graphics performance, Linux ecosystem maturity, and NXP's long-term industrial supply commitment. Its 32-bit DDR3-800 controller supports the framebuffer sizes needed for 7-10 inch WVGA/WXGA panels, and the parallel LCD output drives most TFT controllers directly. The integrated power management unit simplifies the multi-rail sequencing required for industrial designs. Use the CAN bus to bridge to factory networks and the I2C / SPI interfaces for touch-controller and keypad scan.

Notas de diseño
Estimated: at 1.0 GHz active load with typical multimedia workload, the i.MX6SL SoC dissipates approximately 1.5-2.5 W. Use the NXP power estimation spreadsheet for your exact workload, and provide a continuous GND copper pour directly under the 432-MAPBGA package plus thermal vias to inner layers. Theta-JA for the 13x13 mm MAPBGA on a 4-layer JEDEC board is approximately 25-30 C/W, so adequate bottom-side copper is essential for commercial temperature operation.
Route the DDR3 interface as a matched-length group per the NXP i.MX6SL hardware reference manual. Maintain 100 ohm differential impedance for the DDR3 signals, keep reference planes unbroken beneath the bus, and place the DDR3 / DDR3L / LPDDR2 chips within 5-8 mm of the SoC to keep timing margin at 800 MT/s. Use series damping resistors only where the reference manual calls for them.
Do not rely on the integrated LDOs to power DRAM directly - always use the external MMPF0100 (or compatible NXP PMIC) for the DRAM rail. The internal LDOs are sized for SoC core logic only, and bypassing the external PMIC will cause brown-outs during peak graphics workloads. Also, do not omit boot-mode configuration resistors on the boot-mode balls; an invalid boot mode leaves the SoC unresponsive even though all rails are good.
Place decoupling capacitors on the closest inner layer or on the bottom side directly beneath the BGA balls, not on the top side where they would interfere with escape routing. Use 0402-size 100 nF caps on each VDDCORE / VDDARM ball plus bulk 10 uF / 22 uF ceramic capacitors on each voltage domain. Keep all high-speed signals (MIPI-CSI, USB, parallel LCD) on the top layer with a continuous reference plane on layer 2.
