Minimal voltage of i.MX8M Mini / i.MX8X absolute maximum rating

[m_c]

Why the minimal voltage of i.MX8M and i.MX8M Mini absolute maximum rating is 0v?

Why the minimal voltage of i.MX8X absolute maximum rating is -0.3v?

Is because the semiconductor process or automotive grade or other reason?

Hello m.c,

Thank you for pointing this out. It was confirmed that there is no reason why the i.MX8M and i.MX8M Mini cannot tolerate a negative voltage of -0.3 on the pads and this will be reflected on the next release of the datasheets.

I hope this information helps!
