Freescale’s i.MX31 Combines ARM11’s Core Performance
with Smart Speed Technology for Low Power
Top-level support ensures enhanced product development.
The Freescale i.MX31 multimedia applications processor is ideal
for power-thirsty applications such as video and audio media
players, mobile gaming consoles, and GPS systems, as well as
smartphones, PDAs, ultra-portable handheld computers, and
other wireless mobile devices. Based on an ARM11 core, the
i.MX31 processor includes leading power management, security,
digital rights management, and image-processing technology, a
formidable combination of features to drive high-performance
video, audio, and 3D gaming content on wireless mobile devices.
The processors are designed with Freescale’s Smart Speed
Technology that enables ultra low power consumption and
performance equivalent to processors with much higher
megahertz.

effective kit that includes a smaller form-factor base board and
system on a module card engine to enable rapid evaluation and
design with the i.MX31.
Microsoft WindowsCE.net and Windows Mobile, and Symbian,
are available for use with this development system.

Smart Speed Technology
The i.MX31 is built using Freescale’s proprietary Smart Speed
technology architecture. Among the many innovative power-
saving techniques Freescale engineers designed into the
processors is a patent-pending Dynamic Process Temperature
Compensation (DPTC) mechanism, Dynamic Voltage and
Frequency Scaling (DVFS). Parallelism is achieved via the 6 x 5
Smart Speed Crossbar Switch that virtually eliminates wait states
and enables the processor to drive equivalent performance to
processors with much higher clock speeds.
i.MX Family
Freescale’s i.MX family of applications processors has
demonstrated leadership in the portable handheld market. The
i.MX31 multimedia applications processor is the latest addition
to this family and builds on its low-power, high-performance
heritage. Freescale has shipped more than 60 million chips of its
industry-founding applications processors. That means designers
can choose products with a technology pedigree to handle all the
creativity they can imagine.
