i.MX 6DualPlus/6QuadPlus Automotive Applications Processors, Rev. 3, 11/2018

2 NXP Semiconductors

Introduction

• Graphics rendering for Human Machine Interfaces (HMI)

• Video processing and display

The i.MX 6DualPlus/6QuadPlus processors offers numerous advanced features, such as:

• Multilevel memory system—The multilevel memory system of each 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, DDR3L, LPDDR2, NOR Flash,

PSRAM, cellular RAM, NAND Flash (MLC and SLC), OneNAND™, and managed NAND,

including eMMC up to rev 4.4/4.41.

• Smart speed technology—The processors have power management throughout the device that

enables the rich suite of multimedia features and peripherals to consume minimum power in both

active and various low power modes. Smart speed technology enables the designer to deliver a

feature-rich product, requiring levels of power far lower than industry expectations.

• Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling—The processors improve the power efficiency of devices

by scaling the voltage and frequency to optimize performance.

• Multimedia powerhouse—The multimedia performance of each processor is enhanced by a

multilevel cache system, Neon

MPE (Media Processor Engine) co-processor, a multi-standard

hardware video codec, 2 autonomous and independent image processing units (IPU), and a

programmable smart DMA (SDMA) controller.

• Powerful graphics acceleration—Each processor provides three independent, integrated graphics

processing units: an OpenGL

ES 3.0 3D graphics accelerator with four shaders (up to 198 MTri/s

and OpenCL support), 2D graphics accelerator, and dedicated OpenVG™ 1.1 accelerator.

• Interface flexibility—Each processor supports connections to a variety of interfaces: LCD

controller for up to four displays (including parallel display, HDMI1.4, MIPI display, and LVDS

display), dual CMOS sensor interface (parallel or through MIPI), high-speed USB on-the-go with

PHY, high-speed USB host with PHY, multiple expansion card ports (high-speed MMC/SDIO host

and other), 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet controller, and a variety of other popular interfaces

(such as UART, I

C, and I

S serial audio, SATA-II, and PCIe-II).

• Automotive environment support—Each processor includes interfaces, such as two CAN ports, an

MLB150/50 port, an ESAI audio interface, and an asynchronous sample rate converter for

multichannel/multisource audio.

• Advanced security—The processors deliver hardware-enabled security features that enable secure

e-commerce, digital rights management (DRM), information encryption, secure boot, and secure

software downloads. The security features are discussed in detail in the i.MX 6Dual/6Quad

security reference manual (IMX6DQ6SDLSRM).

• Integrated power management—The processors integrate linear regulators and internally generate

voltage levels for different domains. This significantly simplifies system power management

structure.
