Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix D60 against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal specifications. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range and package type for the target design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history to account for any marking changes or errata updates prior to final procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 solution with integrated security features is required. Consider the 324-pin BGA package constraints during PCB layout planning. Evaluate the need for external memory interfaces if internal storage limits are insufficient. Confirm that the 1.1 V core voltage and 1.8/3.3 V I/O levels align with the system power architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Sitara AM335x series of microprocessors from Texas Instruments. These processors are designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications requiring Linux or RTOS capabilities. The AM3352 variant specifically targets industrial and medical markets with its extended temperature range and built-in security peripherals.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official AM335x family comparison table for verified substitutes. Variants such as AM3354 or AM3358 may offer different peripheral counts but require software adaptation.
