i.MX535: Multimedia Applications Processors - HD Video, High-Performance, Low-Power, ARM® Cortex®-A8 Core

The i.MX53 family of processors represents our next generation of advanced multimedia and power-efficient implementation of the ARM Cortex™-A8 core. With core processing speeds up to 1 GHz, the i.MX535 is optimized for both performance and power to meet the demands of high-end, advanced applications requiring mobility and a long battery life. 1080p HD video decode and 720p video encode, two dedicated graphics cores, multiple display and connectivity options, and high level of integration make the i.MX535 a choice platform for smart mobile devices.

The i.MX535 is supported by a companion power management IC (PMIC), MC34709.
