i.MX53
i.MX53 Processors
The i.MX53 family of processors represents NXP's next generation of advanced multimedia and power-efficient implementation of the ARM Cortex™-A8 core with core processing speeds up to 1.2 GHz. It is optimized for both performance and power to meet the demands of high-end, advanced applications. Ideal for a broad range of applications in the consumer, automotive, medical and industrial markets, the i.MX53 includes an integrated display controller, full HD capability, enhanced graphics and connectivity features.
View ProductsEnergy Efficiency Quick Facts
- Targets low-power multimedia processing and integration in general embedded, automotive, industrial and consumer applications
- Industry leading power consumption; operates without a heatsink
i.MX53 Quick Start Board
The first in the series, the i.MX53 Quick Start board is a open source development platform. Integrated with an ARM® Cortex™-A8 1 GHz processor and the NXP MC34708 PMIC, the Quick Start board includes a display controller, hardware-accelerated graphics, 1080p video decode and 720p encode as well as numerous connectivity options ideally suited for applications such as human machine interface in embedded consumer, industrial and medical markets.
