DRA829JMTGBALFRQ1

Soc System On Chip Overview

The DRA829JMTGBALFRQ1 is a Texas Instruments automotive-grade system-on-chip based on the Arm v8 64-bit architecture. It features a dual-core Arm Cortex-A72 cluster operating at up to 2.0 GHz, six Arm Cortex-R5F microcontrollers, and dedicated accelerators including a C7x DSP, two C66x DSPs, an MMA for deep learning, and a PowerVR Rogue 8XE GE8430 GPU. The device integrates an Ethernet switch supporting eight external ports, four PCIe Gen3 controllers, sixteen CAN-FD modules, and USB 3.0 DRD interfaces. Manufactured using 16-nm FinFET technology, it utilizes a 24 mm × 24 mm, 827-pin FCBGA package.

Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required functional safety and security configurations. The Q1 designation indicates AEC-Q100 qualification. Confirm that the selected variant supports the necessary ISO 26262 ASIL ratings or security features such as secure boot and customer-programmable keys, as these are available only on select part numbers within the family.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications requiring heavy data bandwidth networking and advanced compute integration. The integrated MCU island eliminates the need for an external system MCU. Ensure the design accommodates the 16-nm FinFET process requirements and the 827-ball FCBGA package constraints. Verify SDK support for the specific J721E base part number features intended for use in the final application.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the Jacinto 7 DRA829 processor family, which includes variants like DRA829V and DRA829J. The 'J' designation typically denotes a specific feature set compared to other family members, such as the inclusion of video encoding/decoding and additional DSP cores. The device serves as a central compute hub for integrating traditional ECUs with modern digital cockpit systems.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the source material. When evaluating alternatives, verify compatibility with the Processor SDK RTOS/Linux environment and ensure the replacement supports the required 827-pin FCBGA footprint and pin multiplexing configurations.
