What is an applications processor? An applications processor is a highly integrated system-on-chip (SoC) microprocessor that combines a CPU core (here ARM920T, an early ARM9 family core), memory-management hardware, graphics/display peripherals, and connectivity IP into a single device. Applications processors sit hierarchically below 'microprocessor' and above 'MCU' in the embedded taxonomy: they target richer operating systems (Linux, WinCE) than typical MCUs and provide higher clock rates plus richer peripheral integration than discrete microcontrollers. The i.MXL specifically evolved from Freescale's DragonBall line (68K ancestry) into the ARM9 era, positioning itself as a low-power multimedia-capable processor for handheld and portable products.
Key features of the MC9328MXLDVP15R2 include: ARM920T core with MMU and separate 16 KB instruction / 16 KB data caches; integrated LCD controller capable of driving color STN/TFT panels; USB 1.1 device port; MMC/SD host bus interface for removable storage; SSI/SPI, UART, I2C, fast-infrared (FIR) and PWM peripherals; A/D converter and GPIO; 1.8 V core / 3.3 V I/O dual-rail supply; and a 225-pin MAPBGA package. The combination of on-die peripheral richness and low power consumption made the i.MXL a popular choice for PDAs, industrial handhelds, and early-generation smart devices in the early-to-mid 2000s.
Technically, the ARM920T core implements the ARMv4T instruction set, supporting both 32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb instructions for code-density optimization. The 225-ball MAPBGA uses a 0.80 mm pitch on a 13x13 mm body, allowing compact PCB layouts suitable for handheld enclosures. The device also integrates a 16-entry write buffer and a 32-bit external system bus, with boot options from external NOR flash, NAND flash, or serial ROM depending on system configuration.
Typical applications include PDA / handheld organizers, industrial data terminals, portable medical monitors, point-of-sale terminals, low-end smart appliances, and embedded Linux / WinCE demonstration platforms. In each of these, the i.MXL's integrated LCD controller, MMC/SD host, and USB device eliminate the need for companion controller chips, reducing BOM cost and PCB area.
When designing with this part, note that the 1.8 V core rail typically requires an external LDO from a 3.3 V source; bulk decoupling on each supply pin and short trace routing to ground vias are essential for the high-frequency core. Because the MC9328MXLDVP15R2 is a long-EOL part now serviced only through authorized aftermarket distributors (e.g. Rochester Electronics), designers planning new designs should evaluate current NXP i.MX RT or i.MX 6/7/8 successors instead.

Notes de conception
Power sequencing for the MC9328MXLDVP15R2 requires the 3.3 V I/O rail to ramp before the 1.8 V core rail by at least 1 ms, or both rails can be ramped simultaneously if the rise time is monotonic. Per the NXP datasheet, a single LDO from 3.3 V to 1.8 V (such as NXP's PF0100 or discrete LP38690) typically suffices for the core. Decoupling: place a 100 nF X7R ceramic as close as possible to every supply pin group, plus a 10 uF bulk tantalum near the IC. Estimated: at 150 MHz the core draws approximately 180 mA from the 1.8 V rail, requiring the LDO to deliver at least 250 mA with adequate thermal margin.
The 225-MAPBGA package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance theta_JA of approximately 25 C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC test board. For typical handheld applications at 150 MHz and 1.8 V (core power ~324 mW, I/O power ~250 mW), the junction temperature rise above ambient is roughly 15 C - well within the 95 C operating limit. However, when migrating to the 200 MHz grade (MC9328MXLVP20), the core power roughly scales to ~432 mW and the temperature rise becomes ~17 C. Ensure PCB copper area under the BGA includes thermal vias to the inner ground plane for adequate heat spreading.
BGA PCB layout for the 225-MAPBGA requires a microvia-in-pad or sub-0.10 mm laser-via stack-up because the 0.80 mm ball pitch leaves only ~0.50 mm escape trace width between balls. Use a 4- or 6-layer stack-up with continuous reference ground planes under the device for the high-speed SDRAM bus. Match trace lengths within +/- 25 mils for the SDRAM clock, sync, and data groups. Solder paste stencil aperture should be 0.40 mm diameter for the 0.80 mm balls to achieve correct solder joint volume; follow IPC-7530 guidelines for BGA paste printing.
Common pitfalls with the MC9328MXLDVP15R2: (1) assuming the 150 MHz DVP15 grade supports 200 MHz operation - it does not; the part will malfunction and may be damaged. (2) Forgetting the external SDRAM termination - the i.MXL memory controller does not include on-die termination; SDRAM traces longer than 50 mm require series resistors at the SDRAM end. (3) Boot-mode configuration: bootstrap pins must be pulled correctly at reset for the chosen boot source (NOR, NAND, or serial ROM); incorrect strapping causes silent boot failure. Always refer to the boot-mode table in the datasheet before board bring-up.
