NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) officially released the i.MX 91 application processor family. Building on NXP's more than two decades of leadership in developing multi-market applications processors, the i.MX 91 family offers an optimized combination of security, features, and power efficiency to meet next-generation Linux®-based IoT and industrial application needs.
product importance
Newly released protocols change the direction of new product categories in the IoT and industrial markets, such as Matter, the interoperable secure connectivity standard for the smart home of the future, or the ISO 15118-20 standard for electric vehicle chargers. Such new products are usually based on Linux, because Linux can provide developers with the scalability and programming convenience they need to facilitate application development and prolong product life. NXP's i.MX 91 family enables developers to rapidly create new Linux-based edge devices such as home controllers, connected appliances, home entertainment, industrial scanning and printing, building controls, electric vehicle chargers and medical platforms.
"The i.MX 91 family reinforces NXP's leadership in intelligent controllers," said Jim McGregor, principal analyst at TIRIAS Research. "Next-generation Linux devices based on i.MX 91 applications processors will be high-performance, cost-effective security solutions that enable faster, more timely, and easier deployment of new versions of protocols or standards. It provides an important platform for engineers to add intelligent functionality to traditional embedded and IoT systems while leveraging a wider range of i The .MX 9 Series provides scalability."
As the entry-level product of the i.MX 9 series, the i.MX 91 series has the scalability and programming convenience required by developers, making it easy to continuously update applications in the future. The i.MX 91 series can share hardware and software with NXP's i.MX 93 series, providing additional platform options for expanding product lines, maximizing reuse of investment in development and shortening time to market.
More details
"NXP's next-generation i.MX 91 family will lay the foundation for thousands of new device categories with outstanding performance, connectivity and EdgeLock Secure Enclave, which sets a new standard for Linux platforms in IoT and industrial applications. The i.MX 91 series facilitates rapid platform development, easier transition to new markets and applications, fully leverages existing investments, and simplifies products line update."
i.MX 91 application processor adopts Arm® Cortex®-A55, running frequency up to 1.4GHz; supports new LPDDR4 memory to ensure platform longevity and reliability; supports dual Gigabit Ethernet gateways or multi-network segments; provides dual USB Interface; provides basic I/O, suitable for products in smart factories, smart homes, smart offices, medical equipment, metering and cost-effective modular system platforms.
The integrated EdgeLock security zone provides advanced security features such as lifecycle management, tamper detection, secure boot and certification path simplification. Developers can easily gain access to these important security features through secure software support from NXP. The combination of security and ease of management is conducive to increasing the credibility and service life of the platform design, ensuring that the platform design will remain in the market for a long time.
The i.MX 91 series can be used together with NXP's co-developed cost-effective power management solution, which is also already part of the i.MX 93 series ecosystem. The EVK and software packages for the i.MX 91 family integrate with NXP's broad portfolio of scalable wireless solutions. These include the IW612, the first family of tri-band radios on a single chip to support Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth® 5.2 and 802.15.4. IW612 focuses on the Matter protocol, consumers can get rid of the restriction of a single protocol ecosystem, and enjoy seamless interoperability between different ecosystems and wireless network technologies.
