NXP Semiconductors MIMXRT1170HDUG Hardware Development Manual

1 IntroductionThis document’s purpose is to help hardware engineers design and testtheir MIMXRT1170 processor-based designs. It provides information aboutboard layout recommendations and design checklists to ensure first-passsuccess and avoid board bring-up problems. This guide is released along withthe relevant device-specific hardware documentation such as data sheets,reference manuals, and application notes available on nxp.com.RT1160 shares the same design with RT1170, so engineers canalso use this document for RT1160.NOTE2 BackgroundThe i.MX RT1170 is a new processor family featuring NXP's advanced implementation of the high performance Arm® Cortex®-M7Core and power efficient Arm Cortex-M4 core. It provides high CPU performance and real-time response.The i.MX RT1170 has 2 MB of on-chip RAM in total, including a 512 KB RAM which can be flexibly configured as Tightly-CoupledMemory (TCM) or general purpose On-Chip RAM (OCRAM). The i.MX RT1170 integrates advanced power management modulewith DC-DC and LDOs that reduce complexity of external power supply and simplify power sequencing.It provides various memory interfaces, including SDRAM, Raw NAND FLASH, NOR FLASH, SD/eMMC, Quad SPI, HyperRAM/Flash. It also provides a wide range of other interfaces for connecting external peripherals, such as WLAN, BluetoothR, GPS,displays, and camera sensors. Like other i.MX processors, i.MX RT1170 also has rich audio and video features, including MIPICSI/DSI, LCD display, graphics accelerator, camera interface, S/PDIF, and I2S audio interface.The i.MX RT1170 applications processor can be used in areas such as industrial HMI, IoT, high-end audio appliance, low-endinstrument cluster, Point-of-Sale(PoS), motor control, and home appliances.3 Power supplyFor power supply voltage specifications, refer to the Operating Ranges table in the device data sheets. See Table 1 and Table 2for power supply decoupling recommendations.The Figure 1 in this section is applicable to RT1170 silicon and these tables do not include the on-chip LDO outputspecification, which can be found in the device data sheet.NOTEContents1 Introduction......................................12 Background..................................... 13 Power supply...................................14 Clocks..............................................75 Debugging and programming..........86 Boot, reset, and miscellaneous..... 107 Layout recommendations.............. 188 Related resources......................... 229 Revision history............................. 22MIMXRT1170HDUGHardware Development Guide for the MIMXRT1160/1170 ProcessorRev. 2 — 09/2021 User Guide
