NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced the i.MX RT1170 family of crossover MCUs that combines unprecedented performance, reliability, and high levels of integration to propel industrial, IoT and automotive applications. The NXP i.MX RT1170 family reinforces the Company's commitment to advance edge computing with its EdgeVerse portfolio of solutions and marks a technology breakthrough with MCUs that run up to 1GHz while maintaining low-power efficiency. Additionally, to achieve an optimal balance of power, performance, and cost-effective integration, the solution uses advanced 28nm FD-SOI technology, making NXP the first company to build MCUs in this advanced technology node. The i.MX RT1170 MCU features include: a dual-core architecture with the Arm Cortex -M7 core running up to 1GHz and Cortex-M4 running up to 400MHz, 2D vector graphics core, NXP's pixel processing pipeline (PxP) 2D graphics accelerator, and EdgeLock 400A, the Company's advanced embedded security technology. Moreover, it is architected to deliver a record-setting 12ns interrupt response time, 6468 CoreMark score and 2974 DMIPS while executing from on-chip memory.
