NXP’s i.MX RT Crossover MCUs create unrivalled IoT experiences with high-performance processing, integration and security.
Ushering in the GHZ MCU era, NXP’s crossover processors and MCUs combine the ease of MCUs with the complexity of applications processors into a hybrid device designed to address the growing consumer demand for enhanced user experiences in smart and secure high-performance products. Included in this class of products is the i.MX RT series of crossover MCUs.
This series combines unprecedented performance and reliability with high levels of integration and security to propel industrial, IoT and automotive applications. The i.MX RT series includes:
- High-performing Arm® Cortex®-M and DSP cores
- Hardware accelerators (PXP, 2D GPU, PowerQuad DSP coprocessor)
- Large, low-latency on-chip SRAM memory
- Low-power operation including low dynamic power with integrated DC-DC converter and low-power quiescent power modes
- Integration with advanced multimedia for GUI and enhanced HMI
- Extensive memory interface options, including Quad/Octal SPI and HyperFlash™/HyperRAM™, SDRAM, NAND Flash, NOR Flash, SD/eMMC
- Security featuring hardware protected keys for secure boot, AES engine for data encryption, on-the-fly decryption for execute-in-place (XIP) from Quad/Octal SPI/HyperFlash, hardware elliptic curve cryptography and a cryptography hardware coprocessor
