Freescale expands i.MX51 microprocessor range

20 January 2010 DSP, Micros & Memory

The Freescale i.MX51 product family has been expanded to include new processors designed for use in automotive, industrial and consumer markets.

The new devices are the i.MX514 and i.MX516 processors for automotive applications and the i.MX512 and i.MX513 processors for industrial and consumer applications.

All devices in the i.MX51 family are pin-compatible and based on Freescale’s implementation of the ARM Cortex-A8 core. The products integrate five processing engines and deliver a variety of video, graphics and multimedia feature combinations to meet specific market requirements. The products feature an array of connectivity options and support multiple memory types, including DDR2. To streamline development and deliver a more comprehensive solution across multiple markets, Freescale offers board support packages (BSPs) for the Linux OS, Windows Embedded CE6.0 and the Android OS, all optimised for the i.MX51 family.

The i.MX512 and i.MX513 devices are designed to meet critical industrial market requirements such as user interfaces, sophisticated graphics processing and extensive connectivity options. Both devices deliver 600 MHz performance at industrial temperature ranges, and the i.MX513 additionally incorporates hardware video encode/decode functionality. Industrial applications for the processors include printers, factory automation equipment, medical devices, digital signage, home appliances and human-machine interface technology. The devices are also available in consumer versions, with the core performance enhanced to 800 MHz.

The i.MX514 and i.MX516 processors are planned for AEC-Q100 qualification and designed for a variety of in-dash and after-market automotive applications. Delivering 600 MHz performance at automotive temperature ranges, the products are suitable for display-based instrument clusters, navigation, telematics and infotainment platforms, as well as other automotive applications. They include advanced graphics capabilities, and the i.MX516 additionally incorporates a powerful video encode/decode hardware engine to provide multimedia experiences for drivers and passengers.
