VOL NXP i.MX6UL/i.MX6ULL SOM

Overview

The VOL NXP i.MX6UL/i.MX6ULL SOM module is a high-performance, ultra-efficient processor featuring an advanced implementation of a single ARM® Cortex®-A7 core, which operates at speeds of 528MHz (i.MX6UL/6ULL), 696MHz (i.MX6UL) and 792MHz (i.MX6ULL) for its variants. Equipped with a wide array of high-speed connectivity, VOL NXP i.MX6UL/i.MX6ULL SOM module is a small footprint hardware platform engineered to support IoT edge devices, smart appliances, wearables, and mobile terminals. Ideally suited for cost and power optimized embedded and industrial applications, this SOM is integrated with onboard PMIC, Flash, DDR3 and Ethernet PHY. It also supports different I/O interfaces like CAN, USB, SDIO, QSPI, SPI, I2C, UART, LCD, ADC, SAI, ESAI, JTAG, PWM, Smart Card interface, and GPIO.
