MC94MX21DVKN3 개요

The NXP MC94MX21DVKN3 is a 32-bit ARM926EJ-S microprocessor from the i.MX21 applications processor family, running at up to 350 MHz and housed in a 289-ball LFBGA package (14x14 mm). It is a ROMless system-on-chip that integrates an ARM926EJ-S core with a memory management unit, LCD controller, USB 1.x host/device controller, and SDRAM controller on a single die manufactured in 0.13 um CMOS.

An applications processor (AP) is a high-integration SoC designed to run an operating system and serve as the main CPU in embedded systems, going beyond a basic microcontroller by integrating multimedia interfaces, external memory control, and rich peripheral connectivity. The i.MX21 belongs to the i.MX family hierarchy: i.MX21 -> ARM9 applications processor -> applications processor -> microprocessor -> integrated circuit -> semiconductor. It enables product designers to add graphical user interfaces, touch input, and USB connectivity without a companion companion controller ASIC.

Key features include an ARM926EJ-S core with 16 KB instruction cache and 16 KB data cache, an integrated LCD controller supporting TFT/STN panels, two USB 1.x controllers (host and device), an SDRAM controller, and an operating voltage range suitable for battery-powered handheld designs. The 289-LFBGA package with 0.8 mm ball pitch supports high-density board layouts while providing the signal integrity required for 350 MHz operation.

The MC94MX21 uses a layered AHB/APB bus architecture with a JTAG debug interface, on-chip boot ROM options, and a comprehensive set of peripherals including I2C, SPI, UART, and SSI/I2S. Compared to the older i.MX1 (MC9328MX1), the i.MX21 boosts clock speed, memory addressing, and adds integrated LCD and USB On-The-Go support.

Typical applications include industrial HMI panels, point-of-sale terminals, portable medical devices, portable data collectors, and consumer electronics requiring multimedia and connectivity features. The low-power design with operating temperature range of -40 C to +85 C supports industrial and outdoor deployments.

Designers should provide proper power decoupling with 100 nF ceramic capacitors near each VDD ball and follow the NXP layout guide for the 289-LFBGA 0.8 mm pitch footprint to ensure manufacturing yield. USB signal traces must be 90 ohm differential and routed as short as possible to preserve signal integrity at USB 1.x full-speed operation.

선택 가이드

Choose the MC94MX21DVKN3 for repair, maintenance, and legacy continuation of existing products already designed around its 289-LFBGA footprint. Choose the MC94MX21DVKN3R2 instead if you are running high-volume SMT assembly and need 13-inch reels - same silicon, identical ball map, no PCB changes required. Avoid both for new designs; the i.MX family is obsolete and NXP recommends migration to i.MX28 or i.MX RT series for any 2026-era product development. All parts in this family are NOT AEC-Q100 automotive qualified - select i.MX RT with Q100 grade for new automotive programs.

설계 노트

The 289-LFBGA package dissipates heat primarily through the internal die and PCB copper. Operating temperature range is -40 C to +85 C. Ensure at least four solid thermal vias under the center die-attached balls and a continuous ground plane on the top layer to keep junction temperature within recommended limits in sealed enclosures.

Route USB DP/DM as a 90-ohm differential pair with continuous reference ground beneath. Maintain length matching within 150 mil. Place the USB ESD protection array within 3 mm of the BGA balls and the common-mode choke within 5 mm. These rules preserve USB 1.x full-speed signal integrity per USB 2.0 layout guidelines.

The MC94MX21DVKN3 is ROMless, so the system must boot from external NOR flash or serial flash via the EIM. Forgetting to populate the boot memory or to configure the BOOT[1:0] pins correctly leaves the SoC completely non-functional. Reference the i.MX21 reference manual chapter on System Boot for valid boot modes and pin configurations.
