AM3351BZCE30R

Overview

The AM3351BZCE30R is a microprocessor from the Texas Instruments Sitara family, featuring an ARM Cortex-A8 core. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 300 MHz with a 32-bit data bus width. The device includes 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches, plus a 256 kB L2 cache. It utilizes a 298-NFBGA package (13x13 mm) and supports I/O voltages of 1.8 V and 3.3 V. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 processor with NEON SIMD and multimedia capabilities for efficient processing.
• Includes integrated hardware security features such as cryptography support and a random number generator.
• Supports multiple memory interfaces including LPDDR, DDR2, DDR3, and DDR3L via an internal RAM controller.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• Human-machine interface (HMI) displays
• Medical equipment systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E3' against official datasheets to confirm voltage and temperature ratings. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed due to moisture sensitivity level 3. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 300 MHz Cortex-A8 performance level is required within an industrial temperature range. Consider the 298-pin NFBGA footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate peripheral availability, specifically Ethernet and USB PHY integration, against system interface needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AM3351 series within the broader Sitara processor portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with other AM33xx devices but differs in specific pin counts and peripheral configurations. It serves as a mid-range solution compared to higher-performance AM335x variants.

Replacement Considerations

AM3351BZCEA30R is a documented variant within the same series, potentially differing in voltage specifications or packaging details. Verify electrical compatibility and pinout alignment before substitution.
