i.MX502: Multimedia Applications Processors - LCD Controller, ARM® Cortex®-A8 Core

With a ARM® Cortex™- A8 core and the integrated LCD controller, the i.MX502 provides the right level of performance and integration for portable applications such as DECT phones and vending machine displays. With a NEON™ DSP and a 266 MHz memory bus, the i.MX502 provides a level of performance that is not sacrificed by power consumption.

Supported by NXP® power management ICs (PMIC) MC34708 and MMPF0100, the i.MX502 supports a standy-by power of <1mW. Our proven combined solutions are available as reference designs with full software BSPs and backed by integrated technical support to offer quality solutions that get our customers to market faster.
