Mouser Electronics Stocks NXP Semiconductors i.MX RT1180 Crossover MCUs

Mouser Electronics, the industry leader in New Product Introduction (NPI), has announced it is now stocking the i.MX RT1180 crossover microcontrollers (MCUs) from NXP Semiconductors.

This product is a dual-core real-time MCU, featuring a high-performance Arm Cortex-M7 core operating at up to 800MHz and a Cortex-M33 core operating at up to 300MHz. It is designed for a wide range of applications including industrial/building automation, motion control/robotics, motor drives, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), remote I/O, and IoT.

The i.MX RT1180 features industrial gateway functionality and supports industrial real-time communication protocols such as PROFINET, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP. Additionally, following NXP's acquisition of port GmbH in 2025, options to utilize specialized networking stacks are also available. Furthermore, the i.MX RT1180 series supports the Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) protocol and is equipped with 1.5MB of on-chip RAM with ECC protection.

In terms of power, it features a power management module integrating DC-DC converters and low-dropout (LDO) regulators, reducing the complexity of external power circuits and simplifying power sequencing. Regarding security, it integrates advanced functions such as the EdgeLock Secure Enclave, Physical Unclonable Function (PUF), On-the-Fly AES Decryption (OTFAD), Trusted Resource Domain Controller (TRDC), Battery-Backed Security Module (BBSM), and Inline Encryption Engine (IEE). The operating temperature range is industrial grade, from -40°C to +125°C.

Mouser also offers the MIMXRT1180-EVK evaluation kit, FRDM-IMXRT1186 development board, and Remote I/O Platform (RIOP) (PLCIOKIT) to provide an extensible platform for demonstrating and prototyping NXP i.MX RT1180 series capabilities.
