AM3352BZCE60

Overview

The AM3352BZCE60 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 PBGA-298 package and functions within a voltage range of 1.1 V. It supports I/O voltages of 1.8 V and 3.3 V, operating between -40°C and +125°C. Internal memory includes 32 kB L1 instruction cache, 32 kB L1 data cache, 256 kB L2 cache, 64 kB RAM, and 176 kB ROM.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an ARM Cortex-A8 processor core for embedded control applications
• Supports multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet, CAN, USB, SPI, I2C, and UART
• Includes hardware security features such as cryptography and random number generation

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• Medical devices requiring robust processing
• Smart grid infrastructure components
• Human-machine interface (HMI) panels

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '60' to confirm the 600 MHz speed grade and industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +125°C). Ensure the PBGA-298 package matches your PCB footprint requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-performance Cortex-A8 MPU is required alongside extensive connectivity options like dual Ethernet MACs and USB OTG. Consider the industrial temperature range if the deployment environment exceeds standard commercial limits. Evaluate pin count compatibility with the 298-ball BGA layout during schematic design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AM335x Sitara series, designed for cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding embedded systems. It shares architectural similarities with other AM335x variants but differs in speed grades and package types. The series targets applications needing Linux or RTOS capabilities with integrated peripherals.

Replacement Considerations

Check AM3352BZCZD60 for NFBGA-324 package alternatives. Verify AM3352BZCE30 for lower 300 MHz speed requirements. Cross-reference AM3358BZCE60 for enhanced graphics capabilities.
