Introduction
Ordering Information
See
Table 1 on page 3
for ordering information.
The i.MX25 family of processors are designed to
meet the connectivity requirements of today’s
automobile infotainment systems. To meet these
requirements, the i.MX25 processors provide
high-end features, such as CAN, USB connectivity,
and audio connectivity at a price point that is
suitable for all vehicles.
At the core of the i.MX25 is Freescale's fast,
proven, power-efficient implementation of the
ARM® 926EJ-S™ core, with speeds of up to
400 MHz. The i.MX25 includes support for up to
133 MHz DDR2 memory, integrated 10/100
Ethernet MAC, and two on-chip USB PHYs. The
automotive versions of the i.MX25 offer
AEC-Q100 grade 3 qualification to meet stringent
automotive quality requirements. The device is
suitable for a wide range of applications, including
the following:
• USB Connectivity for media
storage/playback, personal media device
interface, and firmware updates

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.
• i.MX25 only supports Little Endian mode.
