I am curious about the maximum CPU clock frequency of IMX6 part MCIMX6U7CVM08Ax.
Referring to document "i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite Applications Processors for Industrial Products" (IMX6SDLIEC), a breakdown of the MCIMX6U7CVM08Ax part number reveals the following parameters:
• i.MX6 DualLite, 2x Arm Cortex-A9 64-bit DDR with VPU, GPU, no EPDC, no MLB
• Industrial temperature grade
• 21 mm x 21 mm, 0.8 mm pitch, MAPBGA Package
• 800 MHz Maximum CPU frequency
• Default fusing settings
I see that there are similar parts of the commercial temperature grade that support a CPU frequency of up to 1 GHz. For example, part number MCIMX6U5DVM10Ax.
Referring to document "i.MX 6Solo/6DualLite Applications Processors for Consumer Products" (IMX6SDLCEC), a breakdown of the MCIMX6U5DVM10Ax part number reveals the following parameters:
• i.MX6 DualLite, 2x Arm Cortex-A9 64-bit DDR with VPU, GPU, MLB, no EPDC
• Commercial temperature grade
• 21 mm x 21 mm, 0.8 mm pitch, MAPBGA Package
• 1 GHz Maximum CPU frequency
• Default fusing settings
Superficially, the difference between the two seems to be that the industrial temperature part lacks the MLB and has a reduced maximum CPU frequency.
If I were restricted to the industrial temperature grade part MCIMX6U7CVM08Ax, could you advise on whether it would it be physically possible to clock the device at 1 GHz, provided it receives adequate cooling and/or I avoid using at the higher end of the industrial temperature range (e.g. only using it within the specified commercial temperature range)?
In other words, would it be possible to treat the industrial temperature part as if it were the commercial temperature part, provided the commercial temperature ratings are respected?
Thanks in advance.
