Performance Compute Engine – NXP Technology
The i.MX 93 application processor integrates the scalable Arm Cortex-A55 core, bringing best-in-class performance and energy efficiency to Linux-based edge applications. The A55 core features the latest Armv8-A architecture extensions with dedicated instructions to accelerate machine learning (ML).
The Cortex-A55 cores are capable at running up to 1.7 GHz.
Display and Multimedia
The iMX93 uCOM Board has a 4-lane MIPI-DSI capable of supporting 1080p60 resolution, a 4-lane LVDS and 18-bit parallel display interfaces capable of 720p60 resolution.
With multiple display outputs, MIPI CSI camera inputs, flexible audio interfaces and comprehensive communication features, the iMX93 uCOM Board is ideal for HMI/GUI and multimedia applications.
Neural Processing Unit (NPU)
The i.MX 93 processors has a dedicated neural processing unit (NPU), Ethos-U65, which delivers a combination of performance and efficiency with an optimized footprint that enables developers to create high-performance, cost-effective and energy-efficient ML applications.
Built-in MCU and Heterogeneous Multicore Processing (HMP)
The 250 MHz Cortex-M33 processor can perform time-critical real-time compute and control. It can eliminate the need for an external microcontroller in the system design. The integrated Cortex-M33 core associated with the CAN FD interfaces provides a robust local control network for industrial applications.
This combination of different cores allows a feature rich OS, like Linux, to run on the Cortex-A cores while a Real-Time OS such as FreeRTOS can run on the Cortex-M33 core.

Power Optimized Design
Combining the fine-grained power management of the i.MX 93 with LPDDR4X memory and NXP’s efficient PCA9451AHNY PMIC results in a very power-efficient module. Power and clock frequency of heterogenous domains such as the application domain (Cortex-A55s), real-time domain (Cortex-M33, peripherals) and flex domains (NPU, DDR, etc.) can be individually controlled to provide the maximum flexibility to achieve the lowest power consumption possible tuned to use cases.
Board Format
Ultra compact form factor, 42×45 mm, using the proven Hirose DF40C connectors.
Temperature Range
The iMX93 uCOM Board is available in extended temperature range, -25 to +85 degrees Celsius, with industrial range (-40 or -30 degrees Celsius) on request. The board is suitable for always-on applications.
