XAM3359ZCZ

Overview

The XAM3359ZCZ is a Sitara AM335x series microprocessor manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features an ARM Cortex-A8 core operating at 720MHz within a 324-ball NFBGA package measuring 15x15 mm. The device supports industrial temperatures from -40°C to 105°C and includes integrated peripherals such as Ethernet, USB, and PRU-ICSS for real-time control.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a high-performance ARM Cortex-A8 processor with NEON SIMD capabilities
• Includes Programmable Real-Time Unit Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS)
• Features built-in POWERVR SGX graphics acceleration subsystem

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Smart metering and utility infrastructure
• Medical appliances and healthcare devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZCZA against official documentation to confirm pinout and package dimensions. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of processing power and real-time industrial communication is required. The integrated PRU-ICSS allows for deterministic control tasks independent of the main application processor, suitable for complex embedded environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Sitara AM335x family of microprocessors designed for cost-sensitive, high-volume applications. It provides a scalable platform combining general-purpose computing with specialized industrial interface capabilities, bridging the gap between simple MCUs and complex SoCs.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible alternatives include the AM3352BZCZA80R and AM3354BZCZA80R. These variants share the same package and pinout but differ in clock speed and peripheral availability.
