The i.MX53 supports many types of external memory devices, including DDR2, low voltage DDR2, LPDDR2, DDR3, NOR Flash, PSRAM, cellular RAM, NAND Flash (MLC and SLC), OneNAND, and managed NAND including eMMC up to rev 4.4. Smart speed technologyThe i.MX53 device has power management throughout the IC 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. Multimedia powerhouseThe multimedia performance of the i.MX53 processor ARM core is boosted by a multilevel cache system, Neon (including advanced SIMD, 32-bit single-precision floating point support) and vector floating point coprocessors. The system is further enhanced by a multi-standard hardware video codec, autonomous image processing unit (IPU), and a programmable smart DMA (SDMA) controller. Powerful graphics acceleration The i.MX53 processors provide two independent, integrated graphics processing units: an OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics accelerator (33 Mtri/s, 200 Mpix/s, and 800 Mpix/s z-plane performance) and an OpenVG 1.1 2D graphics accelerator (200 Mpix/s). Interface flexibilityThe i.MX53 processor supports connection to a variety of interfaces, including LCD controller for two displays and CMOS sensor interface, high-speed USB on-the-go with PHY, plus three high-speed USB hosts, multiple expansion card ports (high-speed MMC/SDIO host and others), 10/100 Ethernet controller, and a variety of other popular interfaces 2 2 (PATA, UART, I C, and I S serial audio, among others). Advanced securityThe i.MX53 processors deliver hardware-enabled security features that enable secure e-commerce, digital rights management (DRM), information encryption, secure boot, and secure software downloads.

The i.MX53 application processor is a follow-on to the i.MX51, with improved performance, power efficiency, and multimedia capabilities. 1.1 Functional Part Differences and Ordering Information shows the functional differences between the different parts in the i.MX53 family.
