i.MX 6ULZ Applications Processor

For best experience this site requires Javascript to be enabled. To enable on your browser, follow our accessibility instructions.

The i.MX 6ULZ processor is a high-performance, ultra cost-efficient consumer Linux processor featuring an advanced implementation of a single Arm^® Cortex^®-A7 core, which operates at speeds up to 900 MHz. The i.MX 6ULZ applications processor includes full audio suite: ESAI, I2S X 3, S/PDIF, and an integrated power management module that reduces the complexity of an external power supply and simplifies power sequencing. Each processor in this family provides various memory interfaces, including 16-bit LPDDR2, DDR3, DDR3L, raw and managed NAND flash, NOR flash, eMMC, Quad SPI and a wide range of other interfaces for connecting peripherals such as WLAN, Bluetooth^® and GPS.

i.MX 6 applications processors are part of NXP's EdgeVerse™ edge computing platform.
