Product details
Overview
AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-qualified Sitara™ microcontroller featuring a single-core Arm® Cortex®-R5F MCU (400MHz), a C66x DSP core (550MHz), 2MB on-chip RAM, dual MCAN with CAN-FD support, and hardware security module (HSM) for secure boot and crypto acceleration - deployed in robotics, machine vision, and automotive audio systems.
For engineers reviewing the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 datasheet, AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 pinout, AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 application, or AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated package mapping (NZN 225-pin nFBGA), confirmed pin functions, real-world use cases, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for functional safety–critical industrial and automotive designs.
Technical Context
The AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 implements a deterministic real-time subsystem centered on a single Cortex-R5F core with 32KB I-Cache/32KB D-Cache and SECDED ECC on all memories, paired with a dedicated C66x DSP core delivering 17.6 GMAC at 550MHz. Its memory architecture allocates 960KB to the Main subsystem and 384KB to the DSP subsystem within a shared 2MB OCSRAM pool.
It integrates industrial-grade connectivity including 3× ePWM, 1× eCAP, 2× MCAN (CAN-FD), 4× SPI, 3× I²C, 4× UART, and 3× McASP, alongside dual 4-lane MIPI D-PHY CSI-2.0 receivers (only in ZCE package) - but the NZN package variant omits MIPI CSI-2 and Aurora/LVDS debug interfaces per device comparison table.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar real-time microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM2732CLSFHQNZNRQ1 | Dual-core Cortex-R5F (vs. single-core); 3.5625MB OCSRAM (vs. 2MB); includes MIPI CSI-2 and LVDS debug interfaces - only available in ZCE package. | Required for applications needing parallel R5F cores (e.g., lockstep safety or asymmetric multiprocessing) or camera input via MIPI. | Select AM2732CLSFHQNZNRQ1 only if dual R5F cores, higher RAM, or MIPI CSI-2 are mandatory - otherwise AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 offers cost and thermal advantage in NZN package. |
| AM2731CASFHQNZNRQ1 | Same core count and memory size, but uses 1.8V-only I/O (vs. dual 1.8V/3.3V) and lacks HSM - no secure boot or crypto acceleration. | Suitable for non-security-critical industrial control where cost sensitivity outweighs firmware protection needs. | Choose AM2731CASFHQNZNRQ1 for cost-optimized, non-automotive applications without security or mixed-voltage I/O requirements - AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 remains required for automotive Q1 qualification and HSM. |
Compared with AM2732CLSFHQNZNRQ1, the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 trades dual R5F cores and MIPI support for lower power and NZN package compatibility; versus AM2731CASFHQNZNRQ1, it adds HSM, dual-voltage I/O, and AEC-Q100 certification - making it the sole choice for certified automotive telematics and secure robotics gateways.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1?
The AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for extended automotive grade operation from −40°C to +140°C junction temperature. This rating is validated per TI's production test flow and applies specifically to the NZN package variant used in this part number - enabling under-hood deployment in engine control and telematics units.
Does the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 support CAN-FD, and how many interfaces are available?
Yes, the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 integrates two fully independent Modular Controller Area Network (MCAN) modules with native CAN-FD support, compliant with ISO 11898-1:2015. Each interface supports bit rates up to 5 Mbps and payloads up to 64 bytes - sufficient for high-speed vehicle network communication in automotive gateway and domain controller applications.
Is the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 pin-compatible with other AM273x variants like AM2732?
No, the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 is not pin-compatible with AM2732 variants. While both share the NZN 225-pin nFBGA package, the AM2732 requires the ZCE 285-pin package to implement MIPI CSI-2 and LVDS debug interfaces - features omitted in the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1. Pin assignments differ significantly between ZCE and NZN footprints.
What security features are implemented in the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1's Hardware Security Module (HSM)?
The AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1 includes a programmable embedded HSM supporting secure authenticated and encrypted boot, customer-programmable root keys, symmetric keys (AES-256), asymmetric keys (RSA-4K or ECC-512), key revocation, and crypto accelerators for PKA, AES, and TRNG/DRBG - all documented in TI's AM273x Security User's Guide (SPRUIZ5).
Which external power management IC is recommended for use with the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1?
Texas Instruments recommends the LP87745-Q1 - a 4-phase, 5-A multiphase buck converter PMIC with functional safety features - for powering the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1. It supports simplified power sequencing, reduced rail count, and ASIL-B compliance, aligning with the AM2731CLSFHQNZNRQ1's automotive safety architecture.
