Features of the i.MX25 processor include the following:
• Advanced power management—The heart of the device is a level of power management
throughout the IC that enables the multimedia features and peripherals to achieve minimum system
power consumption in active and various low-power modes. Power management techniques allow
the designer to deliver a feature-rich product that requires levels of power far lower than typical
industry expectations.
• Multimedia powerhouse—The multimedia performance of the i.MX25 processor is boosted by a
16 KB L1 instruction and data cache system and further enhanced by an LCD controller (with
alpha blending), a CMOS image sensor interface, an A/D controller (integrated touchscreen
controller), and a programmable smart DMA (SDMA) controller.
• 128 Kbytes on-chip SRAM—The additional 128 Kbyte on-chip SRAM makes the device ideal for
eliminating external RAM in applications with small footprint RTOS. The on-chip SRAM allows
the designer to enable an ultra low power LCD refresh.
• Interface flexibility—The device interface supports connection to all common types of external
memories: MobileDDR, DDR, DDR2, NOR Flash, PSRAM, SDRAM and SRAM, NAND Flash,
and managed NAND.
• Increased security—Because the need for advanced security for tethered and untethered devices
continues to increase, the i.MX25 processor delivers hardware-enabled security features that
enable secure e-commerce, digital rights management (DRM), information encryption, robust
tamper detection, secure boot, and secure software downloads.
• On-chip PHY—The device includes an HS USB OTG PHY and FS USB HOST PHY.
• Fast Ethernet—For rapid external communication, a fast Ethernet controller (FEC) is included.
