Introduction
The i.MX 6SoloLite processor features:
• Applications processor—The processor enhances the capabilities of high-tier portable applications
by fulfilling the ever increasing MIPS requirements of operating systems and games. The Dynamic
Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) provides significant power reduction, allowing the device
to run at lower voltage and frequency with sufficient MIPS for tasks, such as audio decode.
• Multilevel memory system—The multilevel memory system of each processor is based on the L1
instruction and data caches, L2 cache, and internal and external memory. The processor supports
many types of external memory devices, including DDR3, LPDDR2, NOR Flash, PSRAM,
cellular RAM, and managed NAND, including eMMC up to rev 4.4/4.41.
• Smart speed technology—The processor has power management throughout the IC that enables the
rich suite of multimedia features and peripherals to consume minimum power in both active and
various low power modes. Smart speed technology enables the designer to deliver a feature-rich
product, requiring levels of power far lower than industry expectations.
• Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling—The processor improves the power efficiency of devices
by scaling the voltage and frequency to optimize performance.
• Multimedia powerhouse—The multimedia performance of each processor is enhanced by a
multilevel cache system, NEON™ MPE (Media Processor Engine) co-processor, and a
programmable smart DMA (SDMA) controller.
• Powerful graphics acceleration—Each processor provides three independent, integrated graphics
processing units: 2D BLit engine, a 2D graphics accelerator, and dedicated OpenVG™ 1.1
accelerator.
• Interface flexibility—The processor supports connections to a variety of interfaces: LCD
controller, CMOS sensor interface (parallel), high-speed USB on-the-go with PHY, high-speed
USB host PHY, multiple expansion card ports (high-speed MMC/SDIO host and other),
10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller, and a variety of other popular interfaces (such as UART, I
2
C, and
I
2
S serial audio).
• Electronic Paper Display Controller—The processor integrates EPD controller that supports E Ink
color and monochrome with up to 2048 x 1536 resolution at 106 Hz refresh, 4096 x 4096 resolution
at 20 Hz refresh and 5-bit grayscale (32-levels per color channel).
• Advanced security—The processor delivers hardware-enabled security features that enable secure
e-commerce, digital rights management (DRM), information encryption, secure boot, and secure
software downloads. The security features are discussed in detail in the i.MX 6SoloLite security
reference manual (IMX6SLSRM). Contact your local NXP representative for more information.
• Integrated power management—The processor integrates linear regulators and generate internally
all the voltage levels for different domains. This significantly simplifies system power
management structure.
• GPIO with interrupt capabilities—The new GPIO pad design supports configurable dual voltage
rails at 1.8 V and 3.3 V supplies. The pad is configurable to interface at either voltage level.
