MIMXRT1062DVL6A

Overview

The MIMXRT1062DVL6A is a high-performance i.MX RT series crossover microcontroller powered by an Arm Cortex-M7 core operating at up to 600 MHz. It bridges the gap between traditional MCUs and application processors by offering 1024 KB of on-chip RAM and extensive connectivity without the complexity of a full Linux-based SoC. This device is optimized for real-time responsiveness with low-latency execution from internal memory or external flash.

Why Choose This Part

This processor offers a massive 1024 KB of RAM, allowing for large frame buffers or high-speed data logging without external memory. The Cortex-M7 core includes a floating-point unit and provides deterministic real-time performance that traditional application processors cannot match. It also features integrated power management with a DCDC converter to simplify board-level power sequencing.

Applications

Getting Started

Engineers should start with the MIMXRT1060-EVK evaluation kit to test peripheral performance and memory throughput. Software development is supported through MCUXpresso IDE, IAR Embedded Workbench, and Keil MDK, with a comprehensive SDK providing drivers for SDRAM, USB, and Ethernet. For hardware design, pay close attention to the 196-pin BGA breakout and the high-speed Quad SPI/Octal SPI flash routing requirements.
