Interface
Connectivity
Peripherals
The EMI is an external and internal memory interface. It performs arbitration
between multi-AXI masters to multi-memory controllers, divided into four major
channels: fast memories (Mobile DDR, DDR2) channel, slow memories
(NOR-FLASH/PSRAM/NAND-FLASH and so on) channel, internal memory
(RAM, ROM) channel and graphical memory (GMEM) Channel.
In order to increase the bandwidth performance, the EMI separates the buffering
and the arbitration between different channels so parallel accesses can occur.
By separating the channels, slow accesses do not interfere with fast accesses.

on-chip fuse elements. The module supports electrically programmable poly
fuses (e-Fuses). The IIM also provides a set of volatile software-accessible
signals that can be used for software control of hardware elements not requiring
non-volatility. The IIM provides the primary user-visible mechanism for
interfacing with on-chip fuse elements. Among the uses for the fuses are unique
chip identifiers, mask revision numbers, cryptographic keys, JTAG secure mode,
boot characteristics, and various control signals requiring permanent
non-volatility. The IIM also provides up to 28 volatile control signals. The IIM
consists of a master controller, a software fuse value shadow cache, and a set
of registers to hold the values of signals visible outside the module.

Brief Description
Security
Protecting read-only data from modification is one of the basic elements in
trusted platforms. The Run-Time Integrity Checker v3 (RTICv3) module, is a data
monitoring device responsible for ensuring that memory content is not corrupted
during program execution. The RTICv3 mechanism periodically checks the
integrity of code or data sections during normal OS run-time execution without
interfering with normal operation. The RTICv3’s purpose is to ensure the integrity
of the peripheral memory contents, protect against unauthorized external
memory elements replacement, and assist with boot authentication.
Security
SAHARA (Symmetric/Asymmetric Hashing and Random Accelerator) is a
security co-processor. It implements symmetric encryption algorithms, (AES,
DES, 3DES, and RC4), public key algorithms, hashing algorithms (MD5, SHA-1,
SHA-224, and SHA-256), and a hardware random number generator. It has a
slave IP bus interface for the host to write configuration and command
information, and to read status information. It also has a DMA controller, with an
AHB bus interface, to reduce the burden on the host to move the required data
to and from memory.
Security
Controller
Security
The Security Controller is a security assurance hardware module designed to
safely hold sensitive data such as encryption keys, digital right management
(DRM) keys, passwords, and biometrics reference data. The SCC monitors the
system’s alert signal to determine if the data paths to and from it are
secure—that is, cannot be accessed from outside of the defined security
perimeter. If not, it erases all sensitive data on its internal RAM. The SCC also
features a Key Encryption Module (KEM) that allows non-volatile (external
memory) storage of any sensitive data that is temporarily not in use. The KEM
utilizes a device-specific hidden secret key and a symmetric cryptographic
algorithm to transform the sensitive data into encrypted data.

Brief Description
JTAG manipulation is a known hacker’s method of executing unauthorized
program code, getting control over secure applications, and running code in
privileged modes. The JTAG port provides a debug access to several hardware
blocks including the ARM processor and the system bus.
The JTAG port must be accessible during platform initial laboratory bring-up,
manufacturing tests and troubleshooting, as well as for software debugging by
authorized entities. However, in order to properly secure the system,
unauthorized JTAG usage should be strictly forbidden.
In order to prevent JTAG manipulation while allowing access for manufacturing
tests and software debugging, the i.MX51A processor incorporates a
mechanism for regulating JTAG access. The i.MX51A Secure JTAG Controller
provides four different JTAG security modes that can be selected via e-fuse

SRTC counters are powered by dedicated supply rail NVCC_SRTC_POW. The
NVCC_SRTC_POW can be energized even if all other supply rails are shut
down. The power for this block comes from NVCC_SRTC_POW supply. When
this supply is driven by the MC13892 power management controller, this block
can be power backed up via the coin-cell feature of the MC13892.This register
is helpful for storing warm boot parameters. The SSRR also stores the system
security state. In case of a security violation, the SSRR mark the event (security
violation indication).
SSI-1
I2S/SSI/AC97 Connectivity
Interface
Peripherals
The SSI is a full-duplex synchronous interface used on the i.MX51A processor
to provide connectivity with off-chip audio peripherals. The SSI interfaces
connect internally to the AUDMUX which interfaces to the i.MX51 system
memory. The SSI supports a wide variety of protocols (SSI normal, SSI network,
I2S, and AC-97), bit depths (up to 24 bits per word), and clock/frame sync
options.
Each SSI has two pairs of 8x24 FIFOs and hardware support for an external
DMA controller in order to minimize its impact on system performance. The
second pair of FIFOs provides hardware interleaving of a second audio stream,
which reduces CPU overhead in use cases where two timeslots are being used
simultaneously.

modules that require external USB PHYs.

Brief Description

(TZ)
Watch Dog
(TrustZone)
Timer
Peripherals
The TrustZone Watchdog (TZ WDOG) timer module protects against TrustZone
starvation by providing a method of escaping normal mode and forcing a switch
to the TZ mode. TZ starvation is a situation where the normal OS prevents
switching to the TZ mode. This situation should be avoided, as it can
compromise the system’s security. Once the TZ WDOG module is activated, it
must be serviced by TZ software on a periodic basis. If servicing does not take
place, the timer times out. Upon a time-out, the TZ WDOG asserts a TZ mapped
interrupt that forces switching to the TZ mode. If it is still not served, the TZ
WDOG asserts a security violation signal to the CSU. The TZ WDOG module
cannot be programmed or deactivated by a normal mode SW.

Special Signal Considerations
Table 3 lists special signal considerations for the i.MX51. The signal names are listed in alphabetical order.
The package contact assignments are found in Section 5, “Package Information and Contact
Assignments.” Signal descriptions are defined in the i.MX51 Multimedia Applications Processor
Reference Manual (MCIMX51RM).
Table 3. Special Signal Considerations
Signal Name
Remarks
CKIH1, CKIH2
Inputs feeding CAMPs (Clock Amplifiers) that have on-chip ac coupling precluding the need for
external coupling capacitors. The CAMPs are enabled by default, but the main clocks feeding the
on-chip clock tree are sourced from XTAL/EXTAL by default. Optionally, the use of a low jitter
external oscillators to feed CKIH1 or CKIH2 (while not required) can be an advantage if low jitter
or special frequency clock sources are required by modules driven by CKIH1 or CKIH2. See CCM
chapter in the i.MX51 Multimedia Applications Processor Reference Manual (MCIMX51RM) for
details on the respective clock trees.
After initialization, the CAMPs could be disabled (if not used) by CCM registers (CCR CAMPx_EN
field). If disabled, the on-chip CAMP output is low; the input is irrelevant. If unused, the user should
tie CKIH1/CKIH2 to GND for best practice.
CLK_SS
Clock Source Select is the input that selects the default reference clock source providing input to
the DPLLs. To use a reference in the megahertz range per Table 8, tie CLK_SS to GND to select
EXTAL/XTAL. To use a reference in the kilohertz range per Table 59, tie CLK_SS to NVCC_PER3
to select CKIL. After initialization, the reference clock source can be changed (initial setting is
overwritten).
Note: Because this input has a keeper circuit, Freescale recommends tying this input to directly
to GND or NVCC_PER3. If a series resistor is used its value must be ≤ 4.7 kΩ.
COMP
The user should bypass this reference with an external 0.1 µ F capacitor tied to GND. If TV OUT is
not used, float the COMP contact and ensure the DACs are powered down.
Note: Previous engineering samples required this reference to be bypassed to a positive supply.
FASTR_ANA and
FASTR_DIG
These signals are reserved for Freescale manufacturing use only. User must tie both connections
to GND.
GPANAIO
This signal is reserved for Freescale manufacturing use only. Users should float this output.

Features
Table 3. Special Signal Considerations (continued)
Signal Name
Remarks
GPIO_NAND
This is a general-purpose input/output (GPIO3_12) on the NVCC_NANDF_A power rail.
IOB, IOG, IOR,
IOB_BACK, IOG_BACK,
and IOR_BACK
These signals are analog TV outputs that should be tied to GND when not being used.
JTAG_nnnn
The JTAG interface is summarized in Table 4. Use of external resistors is unnecessary. However,
if external resistors are used, the user must ensure that the on-chip pull-up/down configuration is
followed. For example, do not use an external pull down on an input that has on-chip pull-up.
JTAG_TDO is configured with a keeper circuit such that the floating condition is eliminated if an
external pull resistor is not present. An external pull resistor on JTAG_TDO is detrimental and
should be avoided.
JTAG_MOD is referenced as SJC_MOD in the i.MX51 Multimedia Applications Processor
Reference Manual (MCIMX51RM). Both names refer to the same signal. JTAG_MOD must be
externally connected to GND for normal operation. Termination to GND through an external
pull-down resistor (such as 1 kΩ) is allowed.
NC
These signals are No Connect (NC) and should be floated by the user.
PMIC_INT_REQ
When using the MC13892 power management IC, the PMIC_INT_REQ high-priority interrupt input
on i.MX51 should be either floated or tied to NVCC_SRTC_POW with a 4.7 kΩ to 68 kΩ resistor.
This avoids a continuous current drain on the real-time clock backup battery due to a 100 kΩ
on-chip pull-up resistor.
PMIC_INT_REQ is not used by the Freescale BSP (board support package) software. The BSP
requires that the general-purpose INT output from the MC13892 be connected to the i.MX51 GPIO
input GPIO1_8 configured to cause an interrupt that is not high-priority.
The original intent was for PMIC_INT_REQ to be connected to a circuit that detects when the
battery is almost depleted. In this case, the I/O must be configured as alternate mode 0 (ALT0 =
power fail).
POR_B
This cold reset negative logic input resets all modules and logic in the IC.
Note: The POR_B input must be immediately asserted at power-up and remain asserted until
after the last power rail is at its working voltage.
RESET_IN_B
This warm reset negative logic input resets all modules and logic except for the following:
• Test logic (JTAG, IOMUXC, DAP)
• SRTC
• Memory repair – Configuration of memory repair per fuse settings
• Cold reset logic of WDOG – Some WDOG logic is only reset by POR_B. See WDOG chapter
in i.MX51 Multimedia Applications Processor Reference Manual (MCIMX51RM) for details.
RREFEXT
Determines the reference current for the USB PHY bandgap reference. An external 6.04 kΩ 1%
resistor to GND is required.
SGND, SVCC, and
SVDDGP
These sense lines provide the ability to sense actual on-chip voltage levels on their respective
supplies. SGND monitors differentials of the on-chip ground versus an external power source.
SVCC monitors on-chip VCC, and SVDDGP monitors VDDGP. Freescale recommends connection
of the SVCC and SVDDGP signals to the feedback inputs of switching power-supplies or to test
points.
STR
This signal is reserved for Freescale manufacturing use. The user should float this signal.
TEST_MODE
TEST_MODE is for Freescale factory use only. This signal is internally connected to an on-chip
pull-down device. Users must either float this signal or tie it to GND.

IOMUX Configuration for Boot Media
Table 3. Special Signal Considerations (continued)
Signal Name
Remarks
VREF
When using VREF with DDR-2 I/O, the nominal 0.9 V reference voltage must be half of the
NVCC_EMI_DRAM supply. The user must tie VREF to a precision external resistor divider. Use a
1 kΩ 0.5% resistor to GND and a 1 kΩ 0.5% resistor to NVCC_EMI_DRAM. Shunt each resistor
with a closely-mounted 0.1 µF capacitor.
To reduce supply current, a pair of 1.5 kΩ 0.1% resistors can be used. Using resistors with
recommended tolerances ensures the ± 2% VREF tolerance (per the DDR-2 specification) is
maintained when four DDR-2 ICs plus the i.MX51 are drawing current on the resistor divider.
Note: When VREF is used with mDDR this signal must be tied to GND.
VREFOUT
This signal determines the Triple Video DAC (TVDAC) reference voltage. The user must tie
VREFOUT to an external 1.05 kΩ 1% resistor to GND.
VREG
This regulator is no longer used and should be floated by the user.
XTAL/EXTAL
The user should tie a fundamental-mode crystal across XTAL and EXTAL. The crystal must be
rated for a maximum drive level of 100 μW or higher. An ESR (equivalent series resistance) of
80 Ω or less is recommended. Freescale BSP (Board Support Package) software requires 24 MHz
on EXTAL.
The crystal can be eliminated if an external 24 MHz oscillator is available. In this case, EXTAL must
be directly driven by the external oscillator and XTAL is floated. The EXTAL signal level must swing
from NVCC_OSC to GND. If the clock is used for USB, then there are strict jitter requirements: < 50
ps peak-to-peak below 1.2 MHz and < 100 ps peak-to-peak above 1.2 MHz for the USB PHY. The
COSC_EN bit in the CCM (Clock Control Module) must be cleared to put the on-chip oscillator
circuit in bypass mode which allows EXTAL to be externally driven. COSC_EN is bit 12 in the CCR
register of the CCM.

Voltage at the package power supply contact must be maintained between the minimum and maximum voltages. The design
must allow for supply tolerances and system voltage drops.
The nominal values for the supplies indicate the target setpoint for a tolerance no tighter than ± 50 mV. Use of supplies with a
tighter tolerance allows reduction of the setpoint with commensurate power savings.
The NVCC_IPUx rails are isolated from one another. This allows the connection of different supply voltages for each one. For
example, NVCC_IPU2 can operate at 1.8 V while NVCC_IPU4 operates at 3.0 V.
In Read mode, Freescale recommends VDD_FUSE be floated or grounded. Tying VDD_FUSE to a positive supply
(3.0 V–3.3 V) increases the possibility of inadvertently blowing fuses and is not recommended.
The NAND Flash supplies are composed of three groups: A, B, and C. Each group can be powered with a different supply
voltage. For example, NVCC_NANDF_A = 1.8 V, NVCC_NANDF_B = 3.0 V, NVCC_NANDF_C = 2.7 V.
The analog supplies should be isolated in the application design. Use of series inductors is recommended.
Operation of the HS-I2C and I2C is not guaranteed when operated between the supply voltages of 1.95 to 2.7 V.

Supply Power-Up/Power-Down Requirements and Restrictions
The system design must comply with the power-up and power-down sequence guidelines as described in
this section to guarantee reliable operation of the device. Any deviation from these sequences may result
in the following situations:
• Excessive current during power-up phase
• Prevention of the device from booting
• Irreversible damage to the i.MX51A processor (worst-case scenario)

2. NVCC_PERx refers to NVCC_PER 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
3. No power-up sequence dependencies exist between the supplies shown in the block diagram shaded in gray.
4. There is no requirement for VDDGP to be preceded by any other power supply other than NVCC_SRTC_POW.
5. If all of the UHVIO supplies (NVCC_NANDFx, NVCC_PER15 and NVCC_PER17) are less than 2.75 V then there is no
requirement on the power up sequence order between NVCC_EMI_DRAM and the UHVIO supplies. However, if the voltage
is 2.75 V and above, then NVCC_EMI_DRAM needs to power up before the UHVIO supplies as shown here.
Figure 2. Power-Up Sequence
NOTE
The POR_B input must be immediately asserted at power-up and remain
asserted until after the last power rail is at its working voltage.
For more information on power up, see i.MX51 Power-Up Sequence
(AN4053).

To maintain a valid level, the transitioning edge of the input must sustain a constant slew rate (monotonic) from the current DC
level through to the target DC level, VIL or VIH. Monotonic input transition time is from 0.1 ns to 1 s.
2 Overshoot and undershoot conditions (transitions above OVDD and below OVSS) on switching pads must be held below 0.6 V,
and the duration of the overshoot/undershoot must not exceed 10% of the system clock cycle. Overshoot/undershoot must be
controlled through printed circuit board layout, transmission line impedance matching, signal line termination, or other methods.
Non-compliance to this specification may affect device reliability or cause permanent damage to the device.
3 Hysteresis of 250 mV is guaranteed over all operating conditions when hysteresis is enabled.
4 I/O leakage currents are listed in Table 25.
The UHVIO type of I/O cells have to be configured properly according to their supply voltage level, in
order to prevent permanent damage to them and in order to not degrade their timing performance.
The HVE control bit of the I/O cell (in IOMUX control registers) should be set to 1 for Low voltage
operation and to 0 for High voltage operation.
The HVE bit should be set as follows:
• HVE = 0: High output voltage mode (3.0V to 3.6V)
• HVE = 1: Low output voltage mode (1.65V to 3.1V)
This is related to power domains, such as NVCC_NANDF, NVCC_PER15, and NVCC_PER17.
If HVE bit is not set properly when high voltage level is applied for long durations, it may cause permanent
damage over a period of time, causing reduced timing performance of the pad. Similarly, not setting HVE
bit properly for low voltage will degrade pad timing performance.
The below discussion clarifies concerns about boot-up period.
The HVE bit is set, by default, to 1 for low voltage operation. As a result, there might be a short period
conflict between the HVE bit value and the applied voltage. This conflict is acceptable under the following
conditions:
i.MX51A Automotive and Infotainment Applications Processors, Rev. 6
26
Freescale Semiconductor
Electrical Characteristics
•
•
The UHVIO pads receive supply voltage up to 3.3V (3.6V max); however, the pads do not toggle
during the boot-up sequence (using another interface as a boot code source), for boot-up period of
about 22 msec.
The UHVIO pads receive up to 3.15V (3.3V max) and are used for accessing the boot code, for
boot-up period of about 11 msec.
In any case, it is recommended to try to minimize the duration of this period and reduce the amount of
toggling on the pads as much as possible. For this, it is recommended to add proper HVE bit programming
to the DCD boot-up tables. DCD is a table located in the start of the image that can hold up to 60
address/values. ROM code reads addresses and writes values to it. This space should be sufficient to
reprogram the NAND Flash pads for HVE bits.

NOTE
Output driver impedance is measured with long transmission line of
impedance Ztl attached to I/O pad and incident wave launched into
transmission lime. Rpu/Rpd and Ztl form a voltage divider that defines
specific voltage of incident wave relative to OVDD. Output driver
impedance is calculated from this voltage divider (see Figure 3).

Device input range cannot exceed the electrical specifications of the CAMP, see Table 47.
The values specified here are internal to DPLL. Inside the DPLL, a “1” is added to the value specified by the user.Therefore,
the user has to enter a value “1” less than the desired value at the inputs of DPLL for PDF and MFD.
3 The maximum total multiplication factor (MFI + MFN/MFD) allowed is 15.Therefore, if the MFI value is 15, MFN value must be
zero.

dpdref is the time period of the reference clock after predivider.According to the specification, the maximum lock time in FOL
mode is 398 cycles of divided reference clock when DPLL starts after full reset.

NAND Flash Controller (NFC) Parameters
This section provides the relative timing requirements among different signals of NFC at the module level
in the different operational modes.
Timing parameters in Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16, Figure 17, Figure 19, and Table 50 show the default
NFC mode (asymmetric mode) using two Flash clock cycles per one access of RE_B and WE_B. Timing
parameters in Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16, Figure 18, Figure 19, and Table 50 show symmetric NFC
mode using one Flash clock cycle per one access of RE_B and WE_B.

Electrical Characteristics
With reference to the timing diagrams, a high is defined as 80% of signal value and low is defined as 20%
of signal value. All parameters are given in nanoseconds. The BGA contact load used in calculations is 20
pF (except for NF16 - 40 pF) and there is max drive strength on all contacts.
All timing parameters are a function of T, which is the period of the flash_clk clock (“enfc_clk” at system
level). This clock frequency can be controlled by the user, configuring CCM (SoC clock controller). The
clock is derived from emi_slow_clk after single divider. Table 49 demonstrates few examples for clock
frequency settings.

NOTE
A potential limitation for minimum clock frequency may exist for some
devices. When the clock frequency is too low the actual data bus capturing
might occur after the specified trhoh (RE_B high to output hold) period.
Setting the clock frequency above 25.6 MHz (T = 39 ns) guarantees proper
operation for devices having trhoh > 15 ns. It is also recommended to set the
NFC_FREQ_SEL Fuse accordingly to initiate the boot with 33.33 MHz
clock.
Lower frequency operation can be supported for most available devices in
the market, relying on data lines Bus-Keeper logic. This depends on device
behavior on the data bus in the time interval between data output valid to
data output high-Z state. In NAND device parameters this period is marked
between trhoh and trhz (RE_B high to output high-Z). In most devices, the
data transition from valid value to high-Z occurs without going through
other states. Setting the data bus pads to Bus-Keeper mode in the IOMUX
registers, keeps the data bus valid internally after the specified hold time,
allowing proper capturing with slower clock.

tDSR is calculated by the following formula:
Asymmetric mode: tDSR = tREpd + tDpd + 1/2T – Tdl2
Symmetric mode: tDSR = tREpd + tDpd – Tdl2
tREpd + tDpd = 11.2 ns (including clock skew)
where tREpd is RE propogation delay in the chip including IO pad delay, and tDpd is Data propogation delay
from IO pad to EMI including IO pad delay.
tDSR can be used to determine tREA max parameter with the following formula: tREA = 1.5T – tDSR.
2
Tdl is composed of 4 delay-line units each generates an equal delay with min 1.25 ns and max 1 aclk
period (Taclk). Default is 1/4 aclk period for each delay-line unit, so all 4 delay lines together generates
a total of 1 aclk period. Taclk is “emi_slow_clk” of the system, which default value is 7.5 ns (133 MHz).
3 NF17 is defined only in asymmetric operation mode.
NF17 max value is equivalent to max tRHZ value that can be used with NFC.
Taclk is “emi_slow_clk” of the system.
4 NF18 is defined only in Symmetric operation mode.
tDHR (MIN) is calculated by the following formula:
Tdl2 – (tREpd + tDpd)
where tREpd is RE propogation delay in the chip including IO pad delay, and tDpd is Data propogation delay
from IO pad to EMI including IO pad delay.
NF18 max value is equivalent to max tRHZ value that can be used with NFC.
Taclk is “emi_slow_clk” of the system.

t is the maximal WEIM logic (axi_clk) cycle time. The maximum allowed axi_clk frequency is 133 MHz, whereas the maximum
allowed BCLK frequency is 104 MHz. As a result, if BCD = 0, axi_clk must be ≤ 104 MHz. If BCD = 1, then 133 MHz is allowed
for axi_clk, resulting in a BCLK of 66.5 MHz. When the clock branch to WEIM is decreased to 104 MHz, other busses are
impacted which are clocked from this source. See the CCM chapter of the i.MX51 Reference Manual for a detailed clock tree
description.
2
BCLK parameters are being measured from the 50% point, that is, high is defined as 50% of signal value and low is defined
as 50% as signal value.
3
For signal measurements “High” is defined as 80% of signal value and “Low” is defined as 20% of signal value.

General WEIM Timing-Asynchronous Mode
Figure 26 through Figure 31, and Table 54 help to determine timing parameters relative to the chip select
(CS) state for asynchronous and DTACK WEIM accesses with corresponding WEIM bit fields and the
timing parameters mentioned above.
Asynchronous read and write access length in cycles may vary from what is shown in Figure 26 through
Figure 29 as RWSC, OEN, and CSN is configured differently. See i.MX51 reference manual for the
WEIM programming model.

FEC AC Timing Parameters
This section describes the electrical information of the Fast Ethernet Controller (FEC) module. The FEC
is designed to support both 10 and 100 Mbps Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 networks. An external transceiver
interface and transceiver function are required to complete the interface to the media. The FEC supports
the 10/100 Mbps MII (18 pins in total) and the 10 Mbps-only 7-wire interface, which uses 7 of the MII
pins, for connection to an external Ethernet transceiver. For the pin list of MII and 7-wire, see i.MX51
Multimedia Applications Processor Reference Manual (MCIMX51RM).
This section describes the AC timing specifications of the FEC.
4.7.4.1
MII Receive Signal Timing
The MII receive signal timing involves the FEC_RXD[3:0], FEC_RX_DV, FEC_RX_ER, and
FEC_RX_CLK signals. The receiver functions correctly up to a FEC_RX_CLK maximum frequency of
25 MHz + 1%. There is no minimum frequency requirement but the processor clock frequency must
exceed twice the FEC_RX_CLK frequency. Table 70 lists the MII receive channel signal timing
parameters and Figure 43 shows MII receive signal timings.

FEC_TX_CLK signals. The transmitter functions correctly up to a FEC_TX_CLK maximum frequency
of 25 MHz + 1%. There is no minimum frequency requirement. In addition, the processor clock frequency
must exceed twice the FEC_TX_CLK frequency. Table 71 lists MII transmit channel timing parameters

A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for SDAH signal in order to bridge the undefined region of the
falling edge of SCLH.
2 The maximum hold time has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (ID no IC6) of the SCLH signal
3 A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I 2C-bus system, but the requirement of Set-up time (ID No IC8)
of 250 ns must then be met. This automatically is the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCLH signal.
If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCLH signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDAH line max_rise_time
(ID No IC10) + data_setup_time (ID No IC8) = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode I2C-bus specification)
before the SCLH line is released.

A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for I2DAT signal in order to bridge the undefined region of the
falling edge of I2CLK.
2 The maximum hold time has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (ID no IC5) of the I2CLK signal
3 A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system, but the requirement of Set-up time (ID No IC7)
of 250 ns must be met. This automatically is the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the I2CLK signal.
If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the I2CLK signal, it must output the next data bit to the I2DAT line
max_rise_time (IC9) + data_setup_time (IC7) = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode I2C-bus specification)
before the I2CLK line is released.

Image Processing Unit (IPU) Module Parameters
The purpose of the IPU is to provide comprehensive support for the flow of data from an image sensor
and/or to a display device. This support covers all aspects of these activities:
• Connectivity to relevant devices—cameras, displays, graphics accelerators, and TV encoders.
• Related image processing and manipulation: display processing, image conversions, and other
related functions.
• Synchronization and control capabilities such as avoidance of tearing artifacts.
4.7.8.1
Sensor Interface Timings
There are three camera timing modes supported by the IPU.
4.7.8.1.1
BT.656 and BT.1120 Video Mode
Smart camera sensors, which include imaging processing, usually support video mode transfer. They use
an embedded timing syntax to replace the SENSB_VSYNC and SENSB_HSYNC signals. The timing
syntax is defined by the BT.656/BT.1120 standards.
This operation mode follows the recommendations of ITU BT.656/ ITU BT.1120 specifications. The only
control signal used is SENSB_PIX_CLK. Start-of-frame and active-line signals are embedded in the data
stream. An active line starts with a SAV code and ends with a EAV code. In some cases, digital blanking
is inserted in between EAV and SAV code. The CSI decodes and filters out the timing-coding from the data
stream, thus recovering SENSB_VSYNC and SENSB_HSYNC signals for internal use. On BT.656 one
component per cycle is received over the SENSB_DATA bus. On BT.1120 two components per cycle are
received over the SENSB_DATA bus.
4.7.8.1.2
Gated Clock Mode
The SENSB_VSYNC, SENSB_HSYNC, and SENSB_PIX_CLK signals are used in this mode. See
Figure 50.

Freescale Semiconductor
Electrical Characteristics
A frame starts with a rising edge on SENSB_VSYNC (all the timings correspond to straight polarity of the
corresponding signals). Then SENSB_HSYNC goes to high and hold for the entire line. Pixel clock is valid
as long as SENSB_HSYNC is high. Data is latched at the rising edge of the valid pixel clocks.
SENSB_HSYNC goes to low at the end of line. Pixel clocks then become invalid and the CSI stops
receiving data from the stream. For next line the SENSB_HSYNC timing repeats. For next frame the
SENSB_VSYNC timing repeats.
4.7.8.1.3
Non-Gated Clock Mode
The timing is the same as the gated-clock mode (described in Section 4.7.8.1.2, “Gated Clock Mode”),
except for the SENSB_HSYNC signal, which is not used. See Figure 51. All incoming pixel clocks are
valid and cause data to be latched into the input FIFO. The SENSB_PIX_CLK signal is inactive (states
low) until valid data is going to be transmitted over the bus.

The timing described in Figure 51 is that of a typical sensor. Some other sensors may have a slightly
different timing. The CSI can be programmed to support rising/falling-edge triggered SENSB_VSYNC;
active-high/low SENSB_HSYNC; and rising/falling-edge triggered SENSB_PIX_CLK.

IPU Display Interface Timing
The IPU Display Interface supports two kinds of display’s accesses: synchronous and asynchronous. There
are two groups of external interface pins to provide synchronous and asynchronous controls accordantly.
4.7.8.4.1
Synchronous Controls
The synchronous control is a signal that changes its value as a function either of a system or of an external
clock. This control has a permanent period and a permanent wave form.
There are special physical outputs to provide synchronous controls:
• The ipp_disp_clk is a dedicated base synchronous signal that is used to generate a base display
(component, pixel) clock for a display.
• The ipp_pin_1– ipp_pin_7 are general purpose synchronous pins, that can be used to provide
HSYNC, VSYNC, DRDY or any else independent signal to a display.
The IPU has a system of internal binding counters for internal events (like HSYNC/VSYCN and so on)
calculation. The internal event (local start point) is synchronized with internal DI_CLK. A suitable control
starts from the local start point with predefined UP and DOWN values to calculate control’s changing
points with half DI_CLK resolution. A full description of the counters system is in the IPU chapter of the
i.MX51 Multimedia Applications Processor Reference Manual (MCIMX51RM).
4.7.8.4.2
Asynchronous Controls
The asynchronous control is a data oriented signal that changes its a value with an output data according
to an additional internal flags coming with the data.
There are special physical outputs to provide asynchronous controls, as follows:
• The ipp_d0_cs and ipp_d1_cspins are dedicated to provide chip select signals to two displays
• The ipp_pin_11– ipp_pin_17 are general purpose asynchronous pins, that can be used to provide
WR. RD, RS or any else data oriented signal to display.
NOTE
The IPU has independent signal generators for asynchronous signals
toggling. When a DI decides to put a new asynchronous data in the bus, a
new internal start (local start point) is generated. The signals generators
calculate predefined UP and DOWN values to change pins states with half
DI_CLK resolution.

4.7.8.5.1
Synchronous Interfaces to Standard Active Matrix TFT LCD Panels
IPU Display Operating Signals
The IPU uses four control signals and data to operate a standard synchronous interface:
• IPP_DISP_CLK—Clock to display
• HSYNC—Horizontal synchronization
i.MX51A Automotive and Infotainment Applications Processors, Rev. 6
Freescale Semiconductor
89
Electrical Characteristics
•
•
VSYNC—Vertical synchronization
DRDY—Active data
All synchronous display controls are generated on base of an internal generated “local start point”. The
synchronous display controls can be placed on time axis with DI’s offset, up and down parameters. The
display access can be whole number of DI clock (Tdiclk) only. The IPP_DATA can not be moved relative
to the local start point.
4.7.8.5.2
LCD Interface Functional Description
Figure 53 depicts the LCD interface timing for a generic active matrix color TFT panel. In this figure
signals are shown with negative polarity. The sequence of events for active matrix interface timing is:
• DI_CLK internal DI clock, used for calculation of other controls.
• IPP_DISP_CLK latches data into the panel on its negative edge (when positive polarity is selected).
In active mode, IPP_DISP_CLK runs continuously.
• HSYNC causes the panel to start a new line. (Usually IPP_PIN_2 is used as HSYNC)
• VSYNC causes the panel to start a new frame. It always encompasses at least one HSYNC pulse.
(Usually IPP_PIN_3 is used as VSYNC)
• DRDY acts like an output enable signal to the CRT display. This output enables the data to be
shifted onto the display. When disabled, the data is invalid and the trace is off.
(For DRDY can be used either synchronous or asynchronous generic purpose pin as well.)

— At a transition to an odd field (of the next frame), the negative edges
of VSYNC and HSYNC coincide.
At a transition is to an even field (of the same frame), they do not
coincide.
—
•
The active intervals—during which data is transferred—are marked by
the HSYNC signal being high.

Asynchronous Interfaces
Standard Parallel Interfaces
The IPU has four signal generator machines for asynchronous signal. Each machine generates IPU’s
internal control levels (0 or 1) by UP and DOWN are defined in Registers. Each asynchronous pin has a
dynamic connection with one of the signal generators. This connection is redefined again with a new
display access (pixel/component) The IPU can generate control signals according to system 80/68
requirements. The burst length is received as a result from predefined behavior of the internal signal
generator machines.
The access to a display is realized by the following:
• CS (IPP_CS) chip select
• WR (IPP_PIN_11) write strobe
• RD (IPP_PIN_12) read strobe
• RS (IPP_PIN_13) Register select (A0)
Both system 80 and system 68k interfaces are supported for all described modes as depicted in Figure 58,
Figure 59, Figure 60, and Figure 61. The timing images correspond to active-low IPP_CS, WR and RD
signals.
Each asynchronous access is defined by an access size parameter. This parameter can be different between
different kinds of accesses. This parameter defines a length of windows, when suitable controls of the
current access are valid. A pause between two different display accesses can be guaranteed by programing
of suitable access sizes. There are no minimal/maximal hold/setup time hard defined by DI. Each control
signal can be switched at any time during access size.

Standard Serial Interfaces
The IPU supports the following types of asynchronous serial interfaces:
1. 3-wire (with bidirectional data line).
2. 4-wire (with separate data input and output lines).
3. 5-wire type 1 (with sampling RS by the serial clock).
4. 5-wire type 2 (with sampling RS by the chip select signal).
The IPU has four independent outputs and one input. The port can be configured to provide 3, 4, or 5-wire
interfaces.
Figure 64 depicts the timing diagram of the 3-wire serial interface. The timing diagrams correspond to
active-low IPP#_CS signal and the straight polarity of the IPP_CLK signal.
For this interface, a bidirectional data line is used outside the chip. The IPU still uses separate input and
output data lines (IPP_IND_DISPB_SD_D and IPP_DO_DISPB_SD_D). The I/O mux should provide

P-ATA Timing Parameters
This section describes the timing parameters of the Parallel ATA module which are compliant with
ATA/ATAPI-5 specification.
Parallel ATA module can work on PIO/Multi-Word DMA/Ultra DMA transfer modes. Each transfer mode
has different data transfer rate, Ultra DMA mode 4 data transfer rate is up to 66 Mbyte/s. Parallel ATA
module interface consist of a total of 29 pins, Some pins act on different function in different transfer
mode. There are different requirements of timing relationships among the function pins conform with
ATA/ATAPI-5 specification and these requirements are configurable by the ATA module registers.

SRISE and SFALL shall meet this requirement when measured at the sender’s connector from 10–90% of full signal
amplitude with all capacitive loads from 15–40 pF where all signals have the same capacitive load value.
The user needs to use level shifters for 5.0 V compatibility on the ATA interface. The i.MX51 P-ATA
interface is 3.3 V compatible.
The use of bus buffers introduces delay on the bus and introduces skew between signal lines. These factors
make it difficult to operate the bus at the highest speed (UDMA-4) when bus buffers are used. If fast
UDMA mode operation is needed, this may not be compatible with bus buffers.
Another area of attention is the slew rate limit imposed by the ATA specification on the ATA bus.
According to this limit, any signal driven on the bus should have a slew rate between 0.4 and 1.2 V/ns with
a 40 pF load. Not many vendors of bus buffers specify slew rate of the outgoing signals.
When bus buffers are used, the ata_data bus buffer is special. This is a bidirectional bus buffer, so a
direction control signal is needed. This direction control signal is ata_buffer_en. When its high, the bus
should drive from host to device. When its low, the bus should drive from device to host. Steering of the
signal is such that contention on the host and device tri-state busses is always avoided.
In the timing equations, some timing parameters are used. These parameters depend on the implementation
of the i.MX51 P-ATA interface on silicon, the bus buffer used, the cable delay and cable skew.

SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) Timing
This section describes the electrical parameters of the SIM module. Each SIM module interface consists
of 12 signals (two separate ports each containing six signals). Typically a a port uses five signals.
The interface is designed to be used with synchronous SIM cards meaning the SIM module provides the
clock used by the SIM card. The clock frequency is typically 372 times the Tx/Rxdata rate, however the
SIM module can work with CLK frequencies of 16 times the Tx/Rx data rate.
There is no timing relationship between the clock and the data. The clock that the SIM module provides
to the SIM card is used by the SIM card to recover the clock from the data in the same manner as standard
UART data exchanges. All six signals (5 for bi-directional Tx/Rx) of the SIM module are asynchronous to
each other.
There are no required timing relationships between signals in normal mode. The SIM card is initiated by
the interface device; the SIM card responds with Answer to Reset. Although the SIM interface has no
defined requirements, the ISO-7816 defines reset and power-down sequences. (For detailed information,
see ISO-7816.)
Table 97 defines the general timing requirements for the SIM interface.

The terms WL and BL used in the timing diagrams and tables refer to
Word Length (WL) and Bit Length (BL).
The SSI timing diagrams use generic signal names wherein the names
used in the i.MX51 Multimedia Applications Processor Reference
Manual (MCIMX51RM) are channel specific signal names. For
example, a channel clock referenced in the IOMUXC chapter as
AUD3_TXC appears in the timing diagram as TXC.

NOTE
All the timings for the SSI are given for a non-inverted serial clock
polarity (TSCKP/RSCKP = 0) and a non-inverted frame sync
(TFSI/RFSI = 0). If the polarity of the clock and/or the frame sync have
been inverted, all the timing remains valid by inverting the clock signal
STCK/SRCK and/or the frame sync STFS/SRFS shown in the tables
and in the figures.
All timings are on Audiomux Pads when SSI is being used for data
transfer.
The terms WL and BL refer to Word Length (WL) and Bit Length (BL).
”Tx” and “Rx” refer to the Transmit and Receive sections of the SSI.
For internal Frame Sync operation using external clock, the FS timing is
same as that of Tx Data (for example, during AC97 mode of operation).

USB Serial Interface
In order to support four serial different interfaces, the USB serial transceiver can be configured to operate
in one of four modes:
• DAT_SE0 bidirectional, 3-wire mode
• DAT_SE0 unidirectional, 6-wire mode
• VP_VM bidirectional, 4-wire mode
• VP_VM unidirectional, 6-wire mode
The USB controller does not support ULPI Serial mode. Only the legacy serial mode is supported.

Signal Configuration as Fuse Override Input at Power Up. These are special I/O lines that control the boot up configuration
during product development. In production, the boot configuration is controlled by fuses.
2
External USB PHY selection is not functional.
3
Consider using an external 68 kΩ pull-up if system constraints indicate that the on-chip 100 kΩ pull-up is too weak.
