→ COM / SOM→ SMARC→ NXP i.MX 9
NXP i.MX 9 is the latest generation of NXP application processors for industrial and IoT devices. On a SMARC module, it gives you a ready-to-use ARM platform with AI acceleration and hardware security, in the compact 82 × 50 mm SMARC form factor.
i.MX 93: efficient and secure
- Arm Cortex-A55 application cores plus a Cortex-M33 real-time core
- Arm Ethos-U65 microNPU for lightweight machine learning
- EdgeLock secure enclave for device security
- Very low power for fanless and battery-powered products
i.MX 95: performance and functional safety
- Up to 6 Arm Cortex-A55 cores plus real-time Cortex-M cores
- NXP eIQ Neutron NPU for faster AI inference
- Image signal processor for camera applications
- Designed for safety-relevant industrial and automotive-grade applications
- Multi-gigabit Ethernet with TSN
Typical applications
Smart HMIs, machine vision, industrial gateways, medical devices, energy management and building automation.
Why choose SMARC i.MX 9
For new ARM designs that need AI, security (Cyber Resilience Act readiness) and a long roadmap, i.MX 9 is the reference. If your software is already built on i.MX 8, see our SMARC i.MX 8 guide.
