The i.MX RT1050 can operate at a core speed of up to 600MHz (as opposed to existing MCUs with a maximum speed of 400MHz). This is the highest performing Cortex®-M7 solution, delivering 3020 CoreMark®/1284 DMIPS (>2 DMIPS/MHz). The i.MX RT1050 also boasts fast real-time responsiveness thanks to a high density of 512 KB TCM SRAM. The interrupt latency is as low as 20 nanoseconds, and is the shortest interrupt latency of any ARM® Cortex-based product thanks to a combination of high performance and the Cortex®-M7 core. All told, i.MX RT crossover processors outperform competitors by a factor of 2x. The i.MX RT1050 incorporates applications processor-quality performance, and also provides critical usability features from the MCU-based product design space: ease of use, low cost, and compatibility with existing real-time software infrastructure and compatibility with existing tool chains. The i.MX RT1050 supports product designs that include advanced multimedia for GUI and enhanced human machine interface (HMI) experience. Its features include 2D graphics acceleration engine, LCD display controllers, camera sensor interfaces, and audio interfaces for high-performance, multi-channel audio streaming. The i.MX RT1050 of crossover processors support greater design flexibility through extensive external memory interface options, including NAND, eMMC, QuadSPI NOR Flash and Parallel NOR Flash. By having high speed interfaces between external memory, combined with on-the-fly decryption enables secure external data storage; the need for embedded flash is eliminated. In terms of connectivity, i.MX RT1050 crossover processors offer support for both wired (Ethernet, USB, CAN) and wireless standards such as Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, BLE, Zigbee®, Thread™, and other options; making thousands of applications for the connected world possible.
