AM3351BZCE60R

Overview

The AM3351BZCE60R is a microprocessor from the Texas Instruments Sitara family, featuring an ARM Cortex-A8 core. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 600 MHz with a 32-bit data bus width. The device utilizes a 298-pin NFBGA package and supports SMD/SMT installation. Internal memory includes 32 kB L1 instruction cache, 32 kB L1 data cache, and 256 kB L2 cache. It functions at a supply voltage of 1.1 V with I/O voltages of 1.8 V and 3.3 V. The operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an ARM Cortex-A8 processor core for high-performance computing tasks.
• Includes hardware acceleration capabilities for multimedia processing and NEON SIMD operations.
• Supports multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet, USB, CAN, I2C, SPI, and UART.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• Medical devices requiring robust connectivity
• Human-machine interface (HMI) displays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R' indicates reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm the exact speed grade corresponds to the 600 MHz requirement for your design. Ensure compatibility with the 298-pin NFBGA footprint during PCB layout. Check RoHS compliance status if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate that the industrial temperature range meets your environmental specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of processing power and peripheral integration is needed. It is suitable for applications requiring Gigabit Ethernet support without external PHYs. Consider the thermal performance within the specified industrial temperature range. Evaluate the available cache sizes against your application's memory access patterns. Ensure the 32-bit architecture aligns with your software development ecosystem.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments AM335x Sitara series, designed for embedded applications. It shares the same package and core architecture with variants like the AM3352 and AM3358. Differences typically lie in integrated peripherals, memory size, or temperature ratings. The Sitara line targets cost-sensitive yet feature-rich embedded markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other AM335x variants such as AM3352BZCE60 or AM3358BZCE60, provided pinout and peripheral requirements match. Verify that alternative parts meet the same 600 MHz speed grade and industrial temperature range. Cross-reference datasheets for differences in internal RAM or specific interface availability before substitution.
