AM3715CBCDNBPTX

Overview

The AM3715CBCDNBPTX is a Sitara ARM microprocessor featuring an ARM Cortex-A8 core operating up to 1.0 GHz, fabricated on 45-nm CMOS technology. It integrates a POWERVR SGX graphics accelerator and NEON SIMD coprocessor. The device utilizes a 515-pin s-PBGA package with the CBC suffix, characterized by a .65mm ball pitch on the top layer and a .5mm ball pitch on the bottom layer. It supports adaptive core logic voltages ranging from 0.9 V to 1.2 V and includes 256 KByte of L2 cache.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a POWERVR SGX graphics accelerator supporting Tile Based Architecture for high-performance rendering
• Includes a NEON SIMD coprocessor capable of executing both integer and floating-point operations
• Supports dynamic voltage and frequency scaling via SmartReflex technology for optimized power management
• Features a comprehensive set of multimedia interfaces including camera ISP and display processors

Applications

• Portable Data Terminals
• Navigation Systems
• Auto Infotainment
• Gaming Devices
• Medical Imaging Equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix NBPTX against official Texas Instruments documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and moisture sensitivity levels. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the CBC package pinout and thermal requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-performance graphics acceleration and multimedia processing are required alongside standard ARM Cortex-A8 capabilities. Consider the CBC package constraints if stackable memory is not needed, as POP implementation is unavailable in this variant.

Part Context

This microprocessor belongs to the AM37x generation of Sitara devices, designed for applications demanding low power consumption and high performance. It maintains backward compatibility with previous Cortex-A8 Sitara and OMAP processors, facilitating migration for existing system architectures.
