Power efficient application processors for ML, edge and IoT applications

Mouser now ships the i.MX 93 applications processors from NXP Semiconductors. This family delivers efficient ML acceleration with advanced security to support energy-efficient automotive, edge computing, industrial automation, and consumer IoT applications.

These application processors deliver power-efficient acceleration with NXP's integrated EdgeLock secure enclave, a preconfigured, self-managed and autonomous security subsystem, to support energy-efficient ML and edge computing. The processors combine the scalable Arm Cortex-A55 core and the Arm Ethos-U65 microNPU, enabling developers to create more capable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient ML applications. A 250MHz Arm Cortex -M33 processor performs time-critical, real-time compute and control that can eradicate the necessity for an external MCU in the system design.

The application processors feature MIPI-CSI and parallel image sensor interfaces, along with the NPU, to support monochrome and RGB vision applications. NXP's innovative Energy Flex architecture provides a rich and power-efficient set of interfaces, including two 1GbE, multiple audio channels, and multiple display interfaces for a wide range of applications, including smart homes, smart cities, factory automation, and audio soundbars.
