3354-IX-X3A-RI

Overview

The Critical Link MitySOM-3354-IX-X3A-RI is a System-on-Module based on the Texas Instruments AM3354 processor. It features an ARM Cortex-A8 core running at up to 1 GHz with a NEON SIMD coprocessor. The module integrates 1 GB of DDR3 RAM and 512 MB of NAND flash memory. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Power is supplied via a single 3.3V to 5.0V input. The primary interface is a standard DDR3 SO-DIMM-204 connector, providing access to multiple communication ports including Ethernet, USB, CAN, and UARTs.

Feature Summary

• Memory Configuration: 1 GB DDR3 RAM and 512 MB Parallel NAND Flash
• Industrial Temperature Range: Rated for operation from -40°C to 85°C
• Standard Interface: DDR3 SO-DIMM-204 card edge connector

Applications

• Embedded Instrumentation
• Industrial Automation
• Medical Instrumentation
• Closed Loop Motor Control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'RI' confirms the industrial temperature rating (-40°C to 85°C) and the exact memory configuration (1GB DDR3/512MB NAND). Confirm availability status as product lifecycles may change. Ensure the host carrier board supports the SO-DIMM-204 form factor and provides the required 3.3V to 5.0V power supply input.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an industrial temperature range is required alongside high-performance processing. The AM3354 variant includes the SGX530 3D graphics accelerator, distinguishing it from lower-tier models like the AM3352 or AM3356 which lack this feature. Compare against the commercial version (suffix RC) if environmental conditions allow for 0°C to 70°C operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MitySOM-335x series of highly configurable processor cards. The series utilizes Texas Instruments Sitara AM335x processors and offers various memory and speed configurations. The MitySOM-335x modules are designed for rapid deployment in embedded systems requiring rich user interfaces and high system integration.

Replacement Considerations

The datasheet lists the 3354-IX-X3A-RC as a similar model with identical electrical specifications but a commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). No other direct cross-model replacements are documented in the provided source material.
