Crossover applications processors deliver low-power processing and integrated security

Mouser now stocks the new i.MX 8ULP crossover applications processors from NXP Semiconductors. The device brings ultra-low power processing and advanced integrated security with EdgeLock secure enclave to simplify complex security implementations and provide excellent efficiency to IoT edge, medical, wearables, smart home, and a wide range of other applications.

The processors are pre-configured with NXP's Energy Flex architecture, optimising energy at the chip level for designing energy-efficient edge systems by combining heterogeneous domain computing, design techniques, and process technology along with a dedicated power management subsystem that provides more than 20 power mode combinations to supply exceptional efficiency across various applications.

These devices feature up to two Arm Cortex-A35 processors running at 800MHz, with an Arm Cortex-M33 core, 3D/2D GPUs, and a Cadence Tensilica Hifi 4 DSP and Fusion DSP for low-power audio/voice and edge AI and ML processing.

The MCIMX8ULP-EVK evaluation kits offer a demonstration and development platform for evaluating i.MX 8ULP applications processors. The kits are supplied in two variants with either a 15mm2 or 9.4mm2 sample option. Each kit comprises a carrier board and a compute module, which houses the i.MX 8ULP SoC. The carrier board supplies a suite of connectivity options for application development.
