Millions of i.MX31 processors are powering consumer, industrial, automotive, medical and general embedded devices. With on-chip media accelerators, multiple connectivity interfaces and package options, the i.MX31 and i.MX31L are suitable for a broad spectrum of multimedia oriented applications. As the first in the Freescale i.MX portfolio to achieve automotive AEC-Q100 grade 3 qualification, the i.MX31 processor is the engine in the acclaimed Ford SYNC. Design engineers need choices; Freescale delivers.
