AM3352ZZCZD

Overview

The AM3352ZZCZD is a microprocessor from the Texas Instruments Sitara AM335x series, featuring an ARM Cortex-A8 core. It operates at a maximum clock frequency of 600 MHz and utilizes a 32-bit data bus width. The component is housed in a PBGA-324 package with surface mount installation. It supports I/O voltages of 1.8 V and 3.3 V, while the core operates at 1.2 V. The device includes L1 instruction and data caches of 32 kB each, an L2 cache of 256 kB, and internal RAM and ROM storage. Interfaces include CAN, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART, and USB. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an ARM Cortex-A8 processor core for embedded control applications
• Supports multiple communication protocols including Ethernet, USB, and CAN
• Includes hardware acceleration features such as NEON SIMD and cryptographic engines

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers
• Medical devices requiring robust processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZZCZD against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal specifications. Ensure that the required operating temperature range aligns with the industrial grade rating. Cross-reference the datasheet for any recent product change notices regarding marking or assembly site changes before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 600 MHz Cortex-A8 performance level is required alongside extensive peripheral connectivity. Compare against lower-frequency variants like the AM3352BZCZ30 if power consumption is a primary constraint. Consider the PBGA-324 package constraints during PCB layout planning to ensure adequate thermal dissipation and signal integrity for high-speed interfaces.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Sitara AM335x family of microprocessors designed for cost-sensitive and power-efficient applications. It shares architectural similarities with other members of the series but is distinguished by its specific speed grade and packaging configuration. The part is intended for use in complex embedded systems requiring Linux or RTOS capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and speed grade should be verified via the TI AM335x family selector tool. Alternative packages such as NFBGA-298 may require schematic and layout modifications.
