i.MX 91 Cortex-A55 in 37 x 39mm system-on-module

Myir has announced a 37 x 39mm system-on-module (SoM) built around NXP’s i.MX 91 processor, which has a single 1.4GHz Arm Cortex-A55 core.

“This module maintains pin compatibility with Myir’s existing i.MX93 MYC-LMX9X series, allows customers to scale designs without hardware redesigns,” according to the company. “It is capable of running Linux [6.6.36], making it perfect for electric vehicle charging stations, smart homes and industrial gateways.”

As the older MYC-LMX9X has dual 1.7GHz Cortex-A55 cores, a 250MHz Cortex-M33 and a 0.5Top/s neural processor, the new part, called MYC-LMX91, is very much a little cousin.


In-package, MYC-LMX91 has 1Gbyte LPDDR4 RAM, 8Gbyte eMMC and 32kbyte of EEPROM.


Interfaces include 2x USB 2.0, 2x Gbit/s Ethernet, 2x CAN-FD, 8x UART, 8x SPI, 8x I2C, 2x I3C, 4x ADC and 24bit parallel RGB display – all through the 218pad LGA footprint – this is not an exhaustive list, and some interfaces share pins.

5V power is required at 2A, and operation is over -40 to +85°C.

An optional add-ons is MY-TFT070CV2, a 7inch LCD.

Myir is based in Shenzhen. Find MYC-LMX91 and its development board on this Myir web page

At the end of last year, Variscite announced a 55 x 30mm NXP’s i.MX 91 system-on-module.
