NXP i.MX RT1160 Crossover MCU
Balance performance and integration with NXP’s newest high-end solution
The NXP i.MX RT1160 Crossover MCU family, building upon the recently-launched RT1170 Crossover MCU portfolio, combines high-end capabilities with real-time responsiveness and ease-of-use on the single microcontroller.
The i.MX RT1160 is a dual-core MCU, boasting a 600 MHz Arm Cortex-M7 and a 240 MHz Cortex-M4. Both Arm Cortex cores include a good amount of tightly coupled memory that further improves overall system performance. The i.MX RT1160 device includes advanced security features along with up to 1MB SRAM, and 2D hardware GPU, 2 Ethernet ports, 2 HS USB OTG with PHY and support for a MIPI display and camera.

NXP i.MX RT Series Crossover Processors
The i.MX RT series of crossover MCUs are NXP’s line of crossover MCUs. Part of the EdgeVerse™ edge computing platform, the series featres the Arm® Cortex®-M core, real-time functionality and MCU usability at a cost-effective price. i.MX RT series bridges the gap between the traditional MCUs and the applications processor space, allowing MCU customers a path for significant performance and integration improvements, without sacrificing ease-of-use. Built on a foundation of scalability, energy efficiency, security, machine learning and connectivity, i.MX RT Series Crossover processors is a term defined by NXP in June 2017. They now offer both i.MX RT crossover MCUs and i.MX crossover applications processors.
