AM3352BZCZ80

Overview

The AM3352BZCZ80 is a microprocessor from the Texas Instruments Sitara family, featuring an ARM Cortex-A8 core. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 800 MHz with a 32-bit data bus width. The device utilizes a PBGA-324 package and supports surface mount installation. Internal memory includes 32 kB L1 instruction cache, 32 kB L1 data cache, and 256 kB L2 cache. It functions within a voltage range of 1.26 V and withstands temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an ARM Cortex-A8 processor core for embedded control applications
• Provides multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet, CAN, USB, I2C, SPI, and UART
• Supports external DDR2, DDR3, and DDR3L memory types for system expansion

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• Human-machine interface (HMI) displays
• Medical equipment processing units
• Smart energy metering systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZCZ indicates the PBGA-324 package configuration. Confirm the operating temperature grade matches industrial requirements (-40°C to +125°C). Ensure compatibility with required I/O voltages of 1.8 V and 3.3 V. Check for RoHS compliance status in official documentation before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-performance computing is needed alongside rich peripheral connectivity. The 800 MHz speed suits complex GUI rendering and protocol handling. Compare against lower-frequency variants if thermal constraints are strict. Verify pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for the Sitara AM335x series.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Texas Instruments Sitara AM335x series of microprocessors. These devices are designed for cost-sensitive, power-efficient embedded applications requiring Linux or RTOS support. The series shares architectural similarities with other members like the AM3354 and AM3358, differing primarily in clock speed and peripheral availability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include AM3352BZCZ100 for higher clock speeds or AM3359BZCZA80 for similar performance with potentially different voltage profiles. Ensure pin-to-pin compatibility and software driver support remain consistent during substitution.
