BRIEF DESCRIPTION
This User's Manual describes the hardware of the TQMa7x revision 02xx in combination with the MBa7x revision 02xx and also
refers to some software settings.
A certain TQMa7x version does not necessarily provide all features described in this User's Manual. This User's Manual does also
not replace the NXP i.MX7 Reference Manuals (5), (6).
The TQMa7x is a universal Minimodule based on the NXP ARM
®
i.MX7 CPU. For i.MX7 details, see Table 7.
The Cortex
®-
A7 cores of these CPUs are clocked with up to 1 GHz.

The TQMa7x extends the TQC product range and offers an outstanding computing performance.
A suitable i.MX7 derivative (i.MX7Solo, i.MX7Dual) can be selected for each requirement.
All essential i.MX7 pins are routed to the TQMa7x connectors.
There are therefore no restrictions using the TQMa7x with respect to an integrated customised design.
All essential components like i.MX7, DDR3L SDRAM, eMMC, and power management are already integrated on the TQMa7x.
The TQMa7x main features are:
•
NXP i.MX7S (Solo) or i.MX7D (Dual), Cortex
®
-A7 + Cortex
®
-M4
•
Up to 2 Gbyte DDR3L SDRAM with 32 bit interface
•
Up to 32 Gbyte eMMC 5.0 NAND flash
•
Up to 256 Mbyte Quad-SPI NOR flash (assembly option)
•
64 kbit EEPROM
•
RTC (assembly option)
•
Temperature sensor
•
NXP Power Management Integrated Circuit
•
All essential i.MX7 pins are routed to the TQMa7x connectors
•
Extended temperature range
•
Single supply voltage 5 V
The MBa7x also serves as an evaluation board for the TQMa7x.
