Product Overview

The MIMXRT1021DAG5A is a high-performance crossover MCU of NXP i.MX RT1020 series, built on ARM Cortex-M7 core up to 500MHz. Equipped with 256KB configurable on-chip SRAM, dual Ethernet, CAN-FD and USB 2.0 OTG peripherals, this 144-pin LQFP chip fits industrial controllers, smart grid, medical monitoring and consumer IoT devices.

Core Advantages

Extreme Performance ARM Cortex-M7 Core

500MHz operation with double-precision FPU, supporting motor control, high-speed data and DSP audio calculation.

Flexible Tightly Coupled Memory (TCM)

256KB RAM configurable as I-TCM/D-TCM, delivering single-cycle execution for critical program loops.

Rich Industrial Connectivity

Dual 10/100 Ethernet, CAN-FD and high-speed USB simplify industrial bus data transmission without extra controllers.

Cost-Effective Packaging

Standard 144-pin LQFP supports common 4-layer PCB designs, cutting assembly costs vs dense BGA packages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is a crossover MCU like MIMXRT1021DAG5A?

A: It combines high-speed processor performance and rich peripherals with low-latency, easy-to-use MCU features. It has no built-in flash and runs programs from external high-speed memory.

Q2: Why TCM memory matters for this chip?

A: TCM is high-speed RAM directly connected to Cortex-M7 core. The 256KB RAM split into I-TCM and D-TCM enables single-cycle access at 500MHz, eliminating cache delay for real-time tasks.

Q3: Where does the chip store firmware without internal flash?

A: It boots from external QSPI / HyperFlash via FlexSPI controller. XIP technology lets it execute programs directly from cheap external flash with near on-chip flash speed.

Q4: Does MIMXRT1021DAG5A integrate power management?

A: Yes, it contains built-in DC-DC converter and LDO regulators. Only a single 3.3V external power supply is needed, simplifying PCB layout design.

Q5: Are free samples available for testing?

A: We support small free sample orders for prototype verification. Fill in the inquiry form to apply for samples and stock confirmation.

Q6: What is the lead time for bulk orders of this model?

A: Regular stock items ship within 1-2 working days. Out-of-stock bulk orders take 4-8 weeks based on factory production schedules.

Q7: Is this component industrial temperature grade?

A: Yes, its operating temperature range covers -40°C ~ +85°C, suitable for industrial control, medical and outdoor IoT equipment.

Q8: Can you provide official original datasheet?

A: Original NXP datasheet is attached upon inquiry submission, including electrical parameters, pinout diagram and PCB layout guides.
