i.MX 7 Series Applications Processors

r ■>

The i.MX 7 series is a highly integrated multi-market applications processor designed to

enable secure and portable applications within the Internet of Things.

TARGET APPLICATIONS

► Building automation

► Wearables

► Point-of-sale

► Enterprise scanners and printers

► E-Readers

► Smart home controls

► Patient monitoring

► loT solutions

The i.MX 7 series is the first device in the market utilizing

both the ARM® Cortex®-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores for general-

purpose programmable processing. Its heterogeneous

asymmetric architecture provides the ultimate flexibility

for customers by enabling a single-chip solution that can

run sophisticated operating systems and provide real-

time responsiveness. The i.MX 7 series incorporates four

independently controlled resource domains for maximum

effectiveness and security when partitioning system resources

such as memory and peripherals. The i.MX 7 series is

supported by NXP's companion power management ICs

(PMICs).

i.MX 7 SERIES FEATURES

The features of the i.MX 7 series processors include:

► Cortex-A7—The Cortex-A7 core enhances the capabilities

of portable, connected applications by fulfilling the ever-

increasing power-efficient MIPS needs of operating systems

and applications.

► Heterogeneous processing architecture—The dual-core

architecture enables the device to run a rich operating

system like Linux® on the Cortex-A7 core and an RTOS on

the Cortex-M4 core.

► Multi-level memory system—The multi-level memory

system of the Cortex-A7 processor is based on the L1

instruction and data caches, L2 cache, and internal and

external memory. The processors support many types of

external memory devices, including DDR3, low-voltage

DDR3L, LPDDR2 and LPDDR3, NOR Flash, NAND Flash

(MLC and SLC), QSPI and managed NAND including

eMMC rev. 5.0.
