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 technologyThe 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 scalingThe processors improve the power efficiency of devices by scaling the voltage and frequency to optimize performance. Multimedia powerhouseThe 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 accelerationEach processor provides three independent, integrated graphics processing units: an OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics accelerator with four shaders (up to 200 MTri/s and OpenCL support), 2D graphics accelerator, and dedicated OpenVG 1.1 accelerator. Interface flexibilityEach 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 2 2 (such as UART, I C, and I S serial audio, SATA-II, and PCIe-II). Automotive environment supportEach 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 securityThe 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 managementThe processors integrate linear regulators and internally generate voltage levels for different domains. This significantly simplifies system power management structure. i.MX 6Dual/6Quad Automotive and Infotainment Applications Processors, Rev. 6, 11/2018 2 NXP Semiconductors
