AM6441BSFFHAALV

Overview

The AM6441BSFFHAALV is a single-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 microprocessor from the AM64x Sitara family, operating at up to 1.0 GHz. It integrates two dual-core Arm Cortex-R5F subsystems and one single-core Cortex-M4F MCU. The device features two PRU_ICSSG industrial communication subsystems with TSN support, a CPSW3G Ethernet switch, USB 3.1 DRD, PCIe Gen2, and up to 2MB of on-chip RAM with ECC. It utilizes a 17.2mm x 17.2mm FCBGA-441 package.

Feature Summary

• Heterogeneous architecture combining application processing cores with real-time R5F MCUs and an isolated M4F safety core.
• Integrated gigabit industrial communication capabilities via dual PRU_ICSSG subsystems supporting TSN and multiple protocols.
• Comprehensive security infrastructure including hardware Root-of-Trust, secure boot, and cryptographic acceleration engines.
• Functional safety compliance designed for IEC 61508 applications with dedicated isolation features and error monitoring.

Applications

• Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
• Motor drives
• Remote I/O systems
• Industrial robots
• Condition-monitoring gateways

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific feature code suffix in the ordering part number against the official datasheet nomenclature table. Confirm that the selected variant includes the required functional safety certifications or industrial communication protocol stacks, as these are determined by the specific device configuration codes rather than the base model alone.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires a balance of Linux-capable application processing and deterministic real-time control within a single SoC. The presence of two PRU_ICSSG units makes it suitable for complex industrial networking tasks requiring time-sensitive data handling alongside standard connectivity interfaces like USB and PCIe.

Part Context

This processor belongs to the AM64x Sitara Industrial-grade family, which extends the capabilities of previous generations to support gigabit industrial Ethernet networks. It is designed to bridge the gap between high-performance computing and strict real-time requirements found in modern automation environments.
