The i.MX353 and the i.MX357 multimedia applications processors represent the next generation of ARM11 products with the right performance and integration to address applications within the industrial and consumer markets for applications such as HMI and display controllers.
Unless otherwise specified, the material in this data sheet is applicable to both the i.MX353 and
i.MX357 devices and referred to singularly throughout this document as i.MX35 or MCIMX35. The i.MX353 devices do not include a graphics processing unit (GPU). For information on i.MX35 devices for automotive applications, please refer to document number, MCIMX35SR2CEC.
The i.MX35 processor takes advantage of the ARM1136JF-S™ core running at 532 MHz that is
boosted by a multi-level cache system and integrated features such as LCD controller, Ethernet, and graphics acceleration for creating rich user interfaces.
The i.MX35 supports connections to various types of external memories, such as SDRAM, mobile DDR, and DDR2, SLC and MCL NAND Flash, NOR Flash and SRAM. The devices can be connected to a variety of external devices such as USB 2.0 OTG, ATA, MMC/SDIO, and Compact Flash.
Features:
The MCIMX35 is based on the ARM1136 platform, which has the following features:
• ARM1136JF-S processor
