i.MX537 Applications Processor
Enabling enhanced graphics and connectivity for
industrial and medical devices
Overview
The i.MX53 family of processors represents
Freescale’s next generation of advanced
multimedia and power-efficient implementation
of the ARM^® Cortex™-A8 core. With core
processing speeds up to 800 MHz, the
i.MX537 is optimized for both performance
and power to meet the demands of high-end,
advanced applications. An integrated display
controller, 1080p HD video decode and
720p video encode, enhanced graphics and
connectivity features make the i.MX537 ideal
for a wide range of applications that require
rich user interfaces with high color displays,
such as patient monitors and human-machine
interfaces (HMI).
Software Flexibility
Development on the i.MX537 is made easier
with Freescale board support packages
optimized for multimedia and low-power
operation. BSPs are available for the following
operating systems:
• Android™
• Windows^® Embedded Compact 7
• Linux^®
Industrial Needs
Like the rest of the i.MX portfolio, the i.MX537
processor provides key environmental
differentiators for the industrial market. These
include 3.3-volt I/O support, an 0.8 mm pitch
package to reduce PCB and manufacturing
costs, extended temperature coverage for
harsh environments, industrial qualification
i.MX
for extended reliability, a formal long product
supply guarantee to support product life
spans and a strong ecosystem, including
module manufacturers, software integrators
and development tools.
