Product details
Overview
AM1705CPTP3 from Texas Instruments is a 375-MHz ARM926EJ-S™ microprocessor with 16KB instruction cache, 16KB data cache, 128KB on-chip RAM, and integrated peripherals including 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC (RMII), three UARTs (one with RTS/CTS), two McASPs, USB 2.0 OTG with PHY, and PRUSS dual-core subsystem - deployed in industrial automation and portable data terminals.
For engineers reviewing the AM1705CPTP3 datasheet, AM1705CPTP3 pinout, AM1705CPTP3 application, or AM1705CPTP3 equivalent, key selection criteria include ARM926EJ-S core frequency (375 MHz @ 1.2 V), 176-pin HLQFP package with 0.5-mm pitch, EMIFA/EMIFB memory interface support, and real-time I/O capability via eHRPWM/eCAP/eQEP modules.
Technical Context
The AM1705CPTP3 implements an ARMv5TEJ-compliant ARM926EJ-S core with MMU, separate 16KB I-cache and D-cache (4-way associative, 32-byte line), 8KB vector RAM, and 64KB ROM. It executes both 32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb instructions and supports Jazelle® for Java acceleration.
Its subsystem integrates EDMA3 with 32 independent DMA channels and 8 QDMA channels, dual 64-bit timers (one configurable as watchdog), three eHRPWM modules with dead-band generation, and a programmable PRUSS with two 32-bit RISC cores - each with 4KB instruction RAM and 512B data RAM - all managed under a unified PSC clock-gating domain.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ARM microprocessor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM1808CPTP3 | 456-MHz ARM926EJ-S, same package, adds hardware crypto accelerator and SATA interface | Better suited for encrypted data logging or storage-heavy applications; higher core voltage (1.3 V) increases power draw | Select when cryptographic offload or SATA-based local storage is required - not drop-in due to voltage and peripheral differences |
| AM3352BZCZ100 | ARM Cortex-A8 @ 1 GHz, 196-pin BGA, includes 3D graphics, PRU-ICSS (enhanced PRU), and DDR2/DDR3 support | Targets richer UI (Qt, Android), higher throughput networking, and advanced motion control - requires PCB redesign | Choose for next-generation designs needing >2× CPU performance and modern graphics - not pin-compatible or software-binary compatible |
Compared with AM1705CPTP3, AM1808CPTP3 offers higher clock speed and crypto acceleration but demands tighter power regulation, while AM3352BZCZ100 delivers significantly greater compute density and peripheral modernization at the cost of full hardware and software requalification.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM1705CPTP3 and its corresponding core voltage?
The AM1705CPTP3 operates at a maximum frequency of 375 MHz with a nominal core supply voltage of 1.2 V. This rating is specified in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" section of the SPRS657F datasheet and applies to commercial and industrial temperature grades. Exceeding 1.2 V may cause instability or violate absolute maximum ratings.
Does the AM1705CPTP3 include an integrated USB PHY, and which USB modes does it support?
Yes, the AM1705CPTP3 integrates a full-speed USB 2.0 OTG PHY on-die. It supports USB 2.0 full-speed (12 Mbps) client mode and full-speed/low-speed (1.5 Mbps) host mode via the USB0 port. The PHY is accessed through dedicated pins (USB0_DP/DM) and requires no external transceiver for basic OTG functionality.
How many independent PWM outputs does the AM1705CPTP3 support, and what precision features are available?
The AM1705CPTP3 supports up to six independent PWM outputs via its three eHRPWM modules. Each module provides 16-bit time-base counters, programmable period/frequency, dead-band insertion, and PWM chopping - enabling precise motor phase control and digital power supply modulation in industrial drives.
Can the PRUSS subsystem in the AM1705CPTP3 run independently of the ARM926EJ-S core?
Yes, the PRUSS subsystem in the AM1705CPTP3 consists of two autonomous 32-bit RISC cores with dedicated instruction and data RAM. It can execute real-time tasks - such as encoder counting, GPIO bit-banging, or custom protocol handling - without ARM intervention, and may be disabled via software to reduce power consumption.
What external memory interfaces does the AM1705CPTP3 provide, and what are their supported protocols?
The AM1705CPTP3 provides two external memory interfaces: EMIFA supports 8-bit NOR Flash, NAND Flash, and SRAM with asynchronous timing; EMIFB supports 16-bit SDRAM with up to 128 MB address space. Both interfaces are fully configurable via registers and require no external glue logic for standard devices.
