AM3352ZCZD72

Overview

The AM3352ZCZD72 is a microprocessor from the Texas Instruments Sitara AM335x series, featuring an ARM Cortex-A8 core operating at a maximum clock frequency of 720 MHz. It utilizes a 32-bit data bus and is housed in a PBGA-324 package with surface mount installation. The device operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +90°C and requires a 1.2 V supply voltage. Integrated memory includes 32 kB L1 instruction cache, 32 kB L1 data cache, and 256 kB L2 cache. I/O voltages support 1.8 V and 3.3 V levels.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an ARM Cortex-A8 processor core for high-performance computing tasks
• Includes hardware cryptographic acceleration and random number generation capabilities
• Supports multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet, USB, CAN, and MMC/SD/SDIO

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• Medical devices requiring subarctic temperature ratings
• Human-machine interface (HMI) panels

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to surface mount requirements. Check for obsolescence notices as availability may be limited.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 720 MHz processing speed is required alongside specific industrial temperature constraints. Consider pin compatibility with other AM335x variants if system upgrades are planned. Evaluate power consumption against available thermal management solutions for the target enclosure.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Sitara AM335x family of microprocessors designed for embedded applications. It shares architectural similarities with models like the AM3357 and AM3358 but differs in clock speed and temperature rating specifications. The Z suffix typically indicates specific packaging or testing criteria defined by the manufacturer.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other AM335x variants such as the AM3357BZCZD60 or AM3358ZCZD72, provided pinouts and software compatibility are verified. Cross-referencing datasheets is essential to ensure functional equivalence regarding peripheral availability and electrical characteristics.
