power management integrated circuits (PMICs).
TEN SCALABLE FAMILIES
The i.MX 6QuadPlus family encompasses a quad-core
platform running up to 1.2 GHz* with 1 MB of L2 cache,
hardware accelerated graphics and 64-bit DDR3 or 2-channel,
32-bit LPDDR2 support. Integrated FlexCAN and MLB busses,
PCI Express® and SATA-2 provide excellent connectivity while
integration of dual-lane MIPI display ports, a MIPI camera
port and HDMI v1.4 makes it an ideal platform for consumer,
automotive and industrial multimedia applications.

Document Number: IMX6SRSFS REV 14
The i.MX 6Quad family encompasses
a quad-core platform running up to 1.2
GHz with 1 MB of L2 cache, hardware
accelerated graphics and 64-bit DDR3
or 2-channel, 32-bit LPDDR2 support.
Integrated FlexCAN and MLB busses, PCI
Express® and SATA-2 provide excellent
connectivity while integration of dual lane
MIPI display ports, MIPI camera port and
HDMI v1.4 makes it an ideal platform
for consumer, automotive and industrial
multimedia applications.
The i.MX 6DualPlus MCU family provides
dual cores running up to 1.2 GHz* with
1 MB of L2 cache, enhanced hardware
accelerated graphics, prefetch and resolve
engine and optimized 64-bit DDR3
or 2-channel, 32-bit LPDDR2 support.
Leveraging the same integration of the
i.MX 6QuadPlus family, the i.MX 6DualPlus
provides a scalable solution for consumer,
automotive and industrial applications.
The i.MX 6Dual family provides dual
cores running up to 1.2 GHz with 1 MB of
L2 cache, hardware accelerated graphics
and 64-bit DDR3 or 2-channel, 32-bit
LPDDR2 support. Leveraging the same
integration of the i.MX 6Quad family, the
i.MX 6Dual provides a scalable solution
for consumer, automotive and industrial
applications.
The i.MX 6DualLite family introduces
dual cores running up to 1.0 GHz with
512 KB of L2 cache, and 64-bit DDR3 or
2-channel, 32-bit LPDDR2 support. With
integrated FlexCAN and MLB busses,
PCI Express, LVDS, and support for MIPI
cameras and displays as well as HDMI
v1.4, the device is a great fit for consumer,
automotive and industrial multimedia-
centric applications.
The i.MX 6Solo family provides a single
core running up to 1.0 GHz with 512 KB
of L2 cache and 32-bit DDR3/LPDDR2
support. Integrated LVDS, MIPI display,
MIPI camera port, HDMI v1.4, FlexCAN
and MLB enable the i.MX 6Solo MCU
family to be a flexible platform for
consumer, automotive and industrial
applications.
The i.MX 6SoloX family introduces single
cores running up to 1.0 GHz (Cortex-A9)
and 227 MHz (Cortex-M4) with 256 KB
of L2 cache and 32-bit DDR3/LPDDR2
support. Integrated LVDS, FlexCAN, and
PCIe Express enable the i.MX 6SoloX
to be a low-power and flexible platform
for consumer, automotive and industrial
applications that require real-time
responsiveness and a higher level of
system integrity.
The i.MX 6SoloLite family provides a
single core running up to 1.0 GHz with
256 KB of L2 cache and 32-bit DDR3/
LPDDR2 support. Targeted integration
of an electronic paper display (EPD)
controller makes it an ideal solution for
next generation e-readers and other
emerging consumer and embedded
devices using EPD technology.
The i.MX 6UltraLite family introduces
a single Cortex-A7 core running up to
696 MHz with 128 KB of L2 cache and
16-bit DDR3/LPDDR2 support. This
efficient, cost–optimized multi-market
applications processor, with integrated
power management, advanced security
unit and wide range of connectivity
interfaces, provides new ways to address
performance scalability and low power for
secure smart homes and IoT applications.
The i.MX 6ULL family introduces a single
Cortex-A7 core running up to 528 MHz
with 128 KB of L2 cache and 16-bit DDR3/
LPDDR2 support. The i.MX6ULL family
provides the lowest power, optimized
feature integration and most competitive
cost to meet the requirements of IoT
gateways, end nodes and consumer
electronics.
