NXP i.MX 91 processors for IoT, Edge, smart home, industrial applications
The NXP Semiconductors energy-efficient i.MX 91 system-on-chips (SoCs) are high-performance, affordable, secure solutions for evolving protocols and emerging standards. The i.MX 91 family is part of the i.MX portfolio of applications processors, featuring an Arm Cortex-A55 running at up to 1.4 GHz, support for platform longevity with LPDDR4 memory, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, dual USB ports, and a rich set of peripherals. Supported by NXP’s product longevity program, the i.MX 91 SoCs, integrated with EdgeLock® Secure Enclave (Advanced Profile), supply security features, including lifecycle management, tamper detection, secure boot, and a simplified certification path with consumer/industrial qualifications, targeting the medical, industrial, and consumer IoT market segments.
Mouser also stocks the NXP Semiconductors FRDM-IMX91S development board, which is designed to evaluate the i.MX 91 applications processor for Linux-based edge devices. The FRDM i.MX 91S integrates an NXP PF9453 PMIC and an IW610 based tri radio module providing Wi Fi 6, Bluetooth LE 5.4, and IEEE 802.15.4 connectivity. It includes support for Yocto based Linux and Debian images. It includes 256 MB NAND with direct NAND boot and a lightweight, reliability tuned filesystem that minimises resources—its small footprint maximises usable storage and keeps operation efficient. This development board is also designed for entry-level Linux use case evaluation, enabling developers to accelerate product development while significantly reducing cost.
The NXP Semiconductors i.MX 91 Evaluation Kit is designed for evaluating i.MX 91 processor applications and measuring power consumption on power rails. The NXP Semiconductors i.MX 91 kit consists of two interconnected boards: a compute module and a connectivity baseboard. The compute module, built with standard 6-layer technology, features an i.MX 91 SoC, 2GB LPDDR4, 16GB eMMC, NXP’s PMIC (PCA9451A), and power monitoring circuits. The connectivity baseboard features a standard M.2 KEY-E slot, enabling off-the-shelf connectivity modules, including NXP’s IW610-based Wi-Fi/Bluetooth options. It includes the GoPoint application, which allows designers to explore pre-installed demos, providing a foundation for accelerating design development.
