Product Overview
The NXP® i.MX 93 processor family combines energy-efficient application processing, integrated machine learning acceleration, real-time control, and advanced security for intelligent edge applications. With dual Arm Cortex®-A55 application processors, a Cortex-M33 real-time core, and an integrated Arm Ethos™-U65 NPU, the platform is designed to deliver efficient edge computing while keeping power consumption and system complexity low.
The phyFLEX-i.MX 93 brings the capabilities of the i.MX 93 into a compact, production-ready SOM platform. Built around PHYTEC’s FPSC footprint standard, the module provides a flexible and mechanically robust foundation for integrating NXP technology into demanding embedded applications while simplifying hardware development and accelerating time to market.
With efficient application processing, dedicated real-time control, and on-device machine learning in a single platform, the phyFLEX-i.MX 93 is well suited for intelligent edge devices that need local processing without relying on the cloud. Its combination of low power, AI acceleration, and flexible FPSC design makes it a strong foundation for industrial IoT, smart automation, energy management, and connected embedded systems.
Features
Energy Efficient Edge Processing
On-Device Machine Learning
The integrated Arm Ethos™-U65 NPU provides dedicated acceleration for machine learning workloads, enabling local inference for applications such as classification, detection, and sensor processing. By processing AI workloads directly on the device, applications can reduce latency and dependence on cloud connectivity.
