AM3354BZCE60R

Overview

The AM3354BZCE60R is a microprocessor from the Texas Instruments Sitara family, featuring an ARM Cortex-A8 core operating at 600 MHz. It utilizes a 298-pin NFBGA package with a 0.65-mm ball pitch. The device includes 32 KB L1 instruction and data caches with single-error detection, alongside a 256 KB L2 cache with error-correcting code. Integrated subsystems include a PRU-ICSS for industrial communication, SGX530 3D graphics acceleration, and interfaces such as USB 2.0, Ethernet MACs, CAN, and UARTs.

Feature Summary

• Supports industrial protocols including EtherCAT, PROFINET, and PROFIBUS via the Programmable Real-Time Unit Subsystem.
• Integrates a PowerVR SGX530 3D graphics engine for advanced display rendering.
• Provides hardware security accelerators for AES, SHA, and random number generation.
• Features flexible memory controllers supporting mDDR, DDR2, DDR3, and DDR3L external storage.

Applications

• Gaming peripherals
• Home and industrial automation systems
• Consumer medical appliances
• Smart toll systems
• Connected vending machines

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ZCE' to confirm the 298-pin NFBGA package configuration and pinout compatibility. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required clock frequency and temperature range specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of processing power and industrial connectivity is required. The ZCE package variant offers a reduced pin count compared to the ZCZ version, suitable for cost-sensitive designs. Verify that the application requires the specific peripheral availability defined for the AM3354 model within the Sitara series.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the AM335x Sitara family, which scales from 300 MHz to 1 GHz. The AM3354 specifically targets applications needing 3D graphics and industrial real-time capabilities without the full feature set of higher-end models like the AM3358 or AM3359. It shares the same core architecture but differs in pinned-out peripherals and package options.
