Power-Efficient, ARM-Based i.MX 7 Processors from NXP Now Shipping from Mouser
September 13, 2016 - Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking i.MX 7 series processors from NXP® Semiconductors. This new generation of power-efficient and feature-rich applications processor is based on NXP's successful and broadly deployed i.MX platform. The i.MX 7 series delivers world-class core power efficiency and the industry's first general-purpose microprocessor family to incorporate both the ARM® Cortex®-A7 and the ARM Cortex-M4 cores. These technologies, together with the companion NXP PF3000 PMIC, unleash the potential for innovative, secure and power-efficient end-products for wearable computing and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
The first members of NXP's i.MX 7 series processors, available from Mouser Electronics, are the i.MX 7Solo and i.MX 7Dual product families. The i.MX 7Solo family devices feature a single Cortex-A7 core that operates at up to 800 MHz and a Cortex-M4 core, and the i.MX 7Dual family devices combine the Cortex-M4 processor with two Cortex-A7 cores running up to 1 GHz. The Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 achieve processor core efficiency levels of 100 μW/MHz and 70 μW/MHz respectively. All of the cores can be individually power-enabled to perform as needed, allowing the i.MX 7 series to meet the high-performance needs of running Linux, graphical user interfaces, wireless stacks or other high-bandwidth data transfers with one or both of the Cortex-A7 cores. The Cortex-M4 is able to perform real time tasks and act as a low power co-processor.
Through the use of an advanced 28nm ultra low leakage process technology and discrete power domain architecture, the Low Power State Retention (LPSR) mode consumes only 250 μW while supporting double data rate (DDR) self-refresh mode, general-purpose input/output (GPIO) wakeup, and memory state retention. High-bandwidth connections are provided through a variety of interfaces such as PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet with AVB support. Both of the i.MX 7 families support the performance and power driven range of external memories including eMMC5.0 and Low Power-DDR3 at up to 1066 MHz, meeting higher bandwidth applications.
Mouser is also stocking the NXP i.MX 7Dual Smart Application Blueprint for Rapid Engineering (SABRE) development board, which enables HDMI, LCD, and electronic paper display (EPD) technology. The board comes with an onboard Wi-Fi/Bluetooth® solution and the ability to easily expand the radio functionality through the mini PCIe expansion slot. Additionally, the SABRE board facilitates software development with the ultimate goal of faster time-to-market through the support of Linux OS, Android™ and FreeRTOS operating systems.
NXP's i.MX 7 series processors are ideal for a host of applications including wearables, secure point-of-sale equipment, smart home controls, industrial products, and a vast array of innovative IoT solutions.
