The 800 MHz core with NEON SIMD coprocessor handles multimedia and signal-processing tasks without an external DSP. The two USB 2.0 ports with integrated PHY eliminate external USB transceivers, saving board space and around a dollar in BOM cost per port. The single 10/100 Ethernet MAC is sufficient for most industrial networks; if you need dual Ethernet or Gigabit, this is not the part. Memory interface flexibility — LPDDR, LPDDR2, or DDR2 — lets you choose between low-power mobile DRAM or cheaper commodity DDR2, depending on your power budget and availability.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between MCIMX507CVK8BR2 and MCIMX508?
The MCIMX508 is a higher-performance member of the i.MX50 family with a faster core clock and additional cache. It is not pin-compatible — the package and ball-out differ. The MCIMX507CVK8BR2 is the cost-optimized entry point at 800 MHz.
What are the power supply requirements for MCIMX507CVK8BR2?
The I/O voltage rails are 1.2 V, 1.875 V, 2.775 V, and 3.0 V. The core voltage is derived from the 1.2 V rail. A dedicated PMIC or multiple LDOs are required — this is not a single-supply part.
