Preliminary
7
n Up to 4 GB, 32-bit LPDDR4-1200 memory.
n 16 GB, 8-bit eMMC memory. Higher density available depending on product variant.
n NXP PF8100 Power Management IC (PMIC):
l 7x DC/DC buck converters.
l 4x LDO regulators.
l OTP (one-time-programmable) memory.
l Coin cell charger.
n CryptoAuthentication device.
n Security accelerators:
l Enhanced High Assurance Boot (HAB) secure and encrypted boot.
l Random Number Generator with a high-quality entropy source generator and NIST
certifiable HMAC-based DRBG.
l RSA up to 4096, Elliptic Curve up to 1023.
l AES-128/192/256, DES, 3DES, ARC4, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-224/256/384/512.
l Dedicated Security Controller for Flashless SHE and HSM support, Trustzone, RTIC.
l Built-in ECDSA/DSA protocol support.
l 10x tamper pins: up to 5 active or 10 passive.
l Voltage and temperature tamper detection to help prevent against side-channel style
attacks.
l 64 kB Secure RAM (can be erased via tamper detection).
n 2x2 MIMO IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n/ac.
n Bluetooth 5.0.
n Debug interfaces:
l System JTAG controller.
l Single Wired Debug (SWD) interface for the MCA.
n i.MX 8X interfaces:
l PCIe 3.0 with L1 substate support. In wireless modules, this interface is used by the
Wireless MAC and is not available for general purposes.
l 1x USBOTG 3.0 with PHY - USB 3.0 can be used as USB 2.0.
l 1x USBOTG 2.0 (with PHY).
l 2x Gb Ethernet with AVB.
l 3x CAN/CAN-FD.
l Media Local Bus (MLB25/50).
l 6x UARTs:
o
4x UARTs, three of which support hardware flow control. (One of the UARTs with
hardware flow control is used by the Bluetooth and is not available for general purposes
in wireless variants.)
o
1x UART tightly coupled with Cortex-M4F cores.
o
1x SCU (not available for general use).
l 10x I2C. Note that I2C ports associated with a specific PHY (e.g. MIPI DSI) can be used
generally but require the PHY to be powered on even if the PHY itself is not used:
