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 technology—The 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 scaling—The processors improve the power efficiency of devices
by scaling the voltage and frequency to optimize performance.
Multimedia powerhouse—The 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 acceleration—Each 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 flexibility—Each 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
(such as UART, I2C, and I2S serial audio, SATA-II, and PCIe-II).
Advanced security—The 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 management—The processors integrate linear regulators and internally generate
voltage levels for different domains. This significantly simplifies system power management
structure.

Introduction
The i.MX 6Dual/6Quad processors use dedicated hardware accelerators to meet the targeted multimedia
performance. The use of hardware accelerators is a key factor in obtaining high performance at low power
consumption numbers, while having the CPU core relatively free for performing other tasks.
The i.MX 6Dual/6Quad processors incorporate the following hardware accelerators:
• VPU—Video Processing Unit
• IPUv3H—Image Processing Unit version 3H (2 IPUs)
• GPU3Dv4—3D Graphics Processing Unit (OpenGL ES 2.0) version 4
• GPU2Dv2—2D Graphics Processing Unit (BitBlt)
• GPUVG—OpenVG 1.1 Graphics Processing Unit
• ASRC—Asynchronous Sample Rate Converter
Security functions are enabled and accelerated by the following hardware:
• ARM TrustZone including the TZ architecture (separation of interrupts, memory mapping, etc.)
• SJC—System JTAG Controller. Protecting JTAG from debug port attacks by regulating or
blocking the access to the system debug features.
• CAAM—Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module, containing 16 KB secure RAM and
True and Pseudo Random Number Generator (NIST certified)
• SNVS—Secure Non-Volatile Storage, including Secure Real Time Clock
• CSU—Central Security Unit. Enhancement for the IC Identification Module (IIM). Will be
configured during boot and by eFUSEs and will determine the security level operation mode as
well as the TZ policy.
• A-HAB—Advanced High Assurance Boot—HABv4 with the new embedded enhancements:
SHA-256, 2048-bit RSA key, version control mechanism, warm boot, CSU, and TZ initialization.
1.3
Updated Signal Naming Convention
The signal names of the i.MX 6 series of products have been standardized to better align the signal names
within the family and across the documentation. Some of the benefits of these changes are as follows:
• The names are unique within the scope of an SoC and within the series of products
• Searches will return all occurrences of the named signal
• The names are consistent between i.MX 6 series products implementing the same modules
• The module instance is incorporated into the signal name
This change applies only to signal names. The original ball names have been preserved to prevent the need
to change schematics, BSDL models, IBIS models, etc.
Throughout this document, the updated signal names are used except where referenced as a ball name
(such as the Functional Contact Assignments table, Ball Map table, and so on). A master list of the signal
name changes is in the document, IMX 6 Series Signal Name Mapping (EB792). This list can be used to
map the signal names used in older documentation to the new standardized naming conventions.

Enhanced Serial
Audio Interface
Connectivity
Peripherals
The Enhanced Serial Audio Interface (ESAI) provides a full-duplex serial
port for serial communication with a variety of serial devices, including
industry-standard codecs, SPDIF transceivers, and other processors.
The ESAI consists of independent transmitter and receiver sections, each
section with its own clock generator. All serial transfers are synchronized
to a clock. Additional synchronization signals are used to delineate the
word frames. The normal mode of operation is used to transfer data at a
periodic rate, one word per period. The network mode is also intended for
periodic transfers; however, it supports up to 32 words (time slots) per
period. This mode can be used to build time division multiplexed (TDM)
networks. In contrast, the on-demand mode is intended for non-periodic
transfers of data and to transfer data serially at high speed when the data
becomes available.
The ESAI has 12 pins for data and clocking connection to external
devices.

counter value can be captured using an external event and can be
configured to trigger a capture event on either the leading or trailing edges
of an input pulse. When the timer is configured to operate in “set and
forget” mode, it is capable of providing precise interrupts at regular
intervals with minimal processor intervention. The counter has output
compare logic to provide the status and interrupt at comparison. This
timer can be configured to run either on an external clock or on an internal
clock.

All four MMC/SD/SDIO controller IPs are identical and are based on the
uSDHC IP. They are:
• Conforms to the SD Host Controller Standard Specification version 3.0
• Fully compliant with MMC command/response sets and Physical Layer
as defined in the Multimedia Card System Specification,
v4.2/4.3/4.4/4.41 including high-capacity (size > 2 GB) cards HC MMC.
Hardware reset as specified for eMMC cards is supported at ports #3
and #4 only.
• Fully compliant with SD command/response sets and Physical Layer
as defined in the SD Memory Card Specifications, v3.0 including
high-capacity SDHC cards up to 32 GB and SDXC cards up to 2TB.
• Fully compliant with SDIO command/response sets and
interrupt/read-wait mode as defined in the SDIO Card Specification,
Part E1, v1.10
• Fully compliant with SD Card Specification, Part A2, SD Host
Controller Standard Specification, v2.00
All four ports support:
• 1-bit or 4-bit transfer mode specifications for SD and SDIO cards up to
UHS-I SDR104 mode (104 MB/s max)
• 1-bit, 4-bit, or 8-bit transfer mode specifications for MMC cards up to 52
MHz in both SDR and DDR modes (104 MB/s max)
However, the SoC-level integration and I/O muxing logic restrict the
functionality to the following:
• Instances #1 and #2 are primarily intended to serve as external slots or
interfaces to on-board SDIO devices. These ports are equipped with
“Card Detection” and “Write Protection” pads and do not support
hardware reset.
• Instances #3 and #4 are primarily intended to serve interfaces to
embedded MMC memory or interfaces to on-board SDIO devices.
These ports do not have “Card detection” and “Write Protection” pads
and do support hardware reset.
• All ports can work with 1.8 V and 3.3 V cards. There are two completely
independent I/O power domains for Ports #1 and #2 in four bit
configuration (SD interface). Port #3 is placed in his own independent
power domain and port #4 shares power domain with some other

Brief Description
The TrustZone Watchdog (TZ WDOG) timer module protects against
TrustZone starvation by providing a method of escaping normal mode and
forcing a switch to the TZ mode. TZ starvation is a situation where the
normal OS prevents switching to the TZ mode. Such a situation is
undesirable as it can compromise the system’s security. Once the TZ
WDOG module is activated, it must be serviced by TZ software on a
periodic basis. If servicing does not take place, the timer times out. Upon
a time-out, the TZ WDOG asserts a TZ mapped interrupt that forces
switching to the TZ mode. If it is still not served, the TZ WDOG asserts a
security violation signal to the CSU. The TZ WDOG module cannot be
programmed or deactivated by a normal mode Software.

1
A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for I2Cx_SDA signal to bridge the undefined region of the falling
edge of I2Cx_SCL.
2
The maximum hold time has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (ID no IC5) of the I2Cx_SCL signal.
3
A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system, but the requirement of Set-up time (ID No IC7)
of 250 ns must be met. This automatically is the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the I2Cx_SCL signal.
If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the I2Cx_SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the I2Cx_SDA line
max_rise_time (IC9) + data_setup_time (IC7) = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode I2C-bus specification)
before the I2Cx_SCL line is released.
4 C = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.

4.11.10 Image Processing Unit (IPU) Module Parameters
The purpose of the IPU is to provide comprehensive support for the flow of data from an image sensor
and/or to a display device. This support covers all aspects of these activities:
• Connectivity to relevant devices—cameras, displays, graphics accelerators, and TV encoders.
• Related image processing and manipulation: sensor image signal processing, display processing,
image conversions, and other related functions.
• Synchronization and control capabilities, such as avoidance of tearing artifacts.

4.11.10.2 Sensor Interface Timings
There are three camera timing modes supported by the IPU.
4.11.10.2.1 BT.656 and BT.1120 Video Mode
Smart camera sensors, which include imaging processing, usually support video mode transfer. They use
an embedded timing syntax to replace the IPU2_CSIx_VSYNC and IPU2_CSIx_HSYNC signals. The
timing syntax is defined by the BT.656/BT.1120 standards.
This operation mode follows the recommendations of ITU BT.656/ ITU BT.1120 specifications. The only
control signal used is IPU2_CSIx_PIX_CLK. Start-of-frame and active-line signals are embedded in the
data stream. An active line starts with a SAV code and ends with a EAV code. In some cases, digital
blanking is inserted in between EAV and SAV code. The CSI decodes and filters out the timing-coding
from the data stream, thus recovering IPU2_CSIx_VSYNC and IPU2_CSIx_HSYNC signals for internal
use. On BT.656 one component per cycle is received over the IPU2_CSIx_DATA_EN bus. On BT.1120
two components per cycle are received over the IPU2_CSIx_DATA_EN bus.
4.11.10.2.2 Gated Clock Mode
The IPU2_CSIx_VSYNC, IPU2_CSIx_HSYNC, and IPU2_CSIx_PIX_CLK signals are used in this
mode. See Figure 63.
