Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' in the part number against official documentation to confirm the exact voltage and feature set, as variations exist within the AM3351 series. Ensure compatibility with required I/O voltages (1.8V or 3.3V) during design integration. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures are followed according to manufacturer guidelines for the NFBGA package.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 solution with industrial temperature ratings is required. Compare against other AM335x variants if different power supply requirements or extended temperature ranges are needed. Consider the available peripheral count and cache sizes relative to application complexity before finalizing the choice.

Part Context

This microprocessor belongs to the Sitara AM335x series, designed for cost-effective embedded applications requiring Linux or RTOS support. It shares architectural similarities with other members of the family but differs in specific electrical characteristics and pin configurations. The NFBGA-298 package allows for compact board designs while maintaining necessary connectivity options.
