MC9328MX21DVK Visão geral
An applications processor is a system-on-chip designed to run an operating system and execute complex multimedia workloads, typically targeting portable and embedded devices. It sits hierarchically below general-purpose microcontrollers and above fixed-function DSPs, bridging raw sensor input and human-facing UI rendering. The i.MX21 is part of NXP's Smart Speed family, which scales ARM9 performance against measured workload demand to minimize active current.
Key features of the MC9328MX21DVK include the ARM926EJ-S core with 16 KB instruction cache and 16 KB data cache, an MMU supporting standard operating systems, a peripheral pixel pipeline supporting LCD panels up to SVGA resolution, and a multimedia accelerator for MPEG-4 and H.263 codec acceleration. It supports LPDDR, SDR, and mobile DDR external memory interfaces, plus NAND Flash and CompactFlash boot options.
The architecture pairs the ARM926EJ-S core with an AHB peripheral bus and an IPS peripheral bus, enabling concurrent DMA-driven I/O while the CPU executes application code. The Smart Speed energy-management module dynamically scales the core voltage and clock based on workload, allowing the part to enter deep-stop modes during idle periods while preserving register and RAM state for fast wakeup.
Typical applications include portable handheld terminals, industrial HMI panels, single-board computers with LCD output, automotive telematics and infotainment head units, and point-of-sale terminals. The on-chip CMOS sensor interface makes it well-suited to barcode-scanning handhelds and digital still cameras, while the USB On-The-Go controller enables direct device-to-device file transfer without a host PC.
When designing with this part, designers should route the DDR memory bus with matched 50-ohm traces and place decoupling capacitors adjacent to every power pin to meet the 266 MHz timing budget. Boot configuration strapping must be correctly pulled at reset to select the desired boot source, and unused inputs must be tied to a defined logic level.

Notas de projeto
Route the DDR memory bus on the MC9328MX21DVK with matched 50-ohm traces and length-matched clock pairs to satisfy the 266 MHz timing budget. Place 100 nF decoupling capacitors adjacent to every power pin, plus bulk decoupling on each voltage rail. The 289-LFBGA package requires via-in-pad or microvia technology on the PCB to fan out the 0.8 mm ball pitch; standard through-hole vias will not fit between balls.
Boot-mode strapping resistors must be firmly tied to VCC or GND before reset; floating boot pins cause unpredictable boot source selection and brick the board on power-up. Per the i.MX21 reference manual, the boot pins also define the boot device width and timing mode, so incorrect values will silently fail to boot even with valid flash contents. Use 10 kohm pull resistors for noise immunity on long-trace boot pins.
Estimated: at 266 MHz full-load operation, the MC9328MX21DVK dissipates approximately 0.4 to 0.6 W into the LFBGA package (input data not directly available, label this as estimated). The 14x14 mm 289-LFBGA exposes a thermal pad that must be soldered to a continuous PCB ground plane with thermal vias to a bottom-side copper pour to maintain junction temperature within ratings. Without thermal vias, expect a 30-40 C/W rise above a bare-die LFBGA reference.
Keep the CMOS sensor interface traces short and length-matched, as the parallel data bus is timing-sensitive at the i.MX21 clock rates. Route the USB On-The-Go D+/D- pair as a 90-ohm differential with ground reference plane underneath, and place the ESD protection diode within 5 mm of the connector. Isolate the analog 1-Wire trace from digital switching nodes to prevent coupling into the touch or identification interface.
