Product details
Overview
AM3351BZCEA60 from Texas Instruments is a 300-MHz ARM Cortex-A8-based Sitara™ processor with 256KB L2 cache (ECC), 8-channel 12-bit SAR ADC, PRU-ICSS for industrial protocols, and 16-bit DDR2/DDR3/mDDR interface - used in cost-optimized industrial HMIs and embedded control systems requiring deterministic real-time I/O.
For engineers reviewing the AM3351BZCEA60 datasheet, AM3351BZCEA60 pinout, AM3351BZCEA60 application, or AM3351BZCEA60 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (298-ball NFBGA, ZCE), confirmed 300-MHz OPP, validated PRU-ICSS protocol support (EtherCAT/PROFIBUS), and precise ADC timing specs per TI SPRS717L Rev L.
Technical Context
The AM3351BZCEA60 implements a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 CPU at 300 MHz (OPP1), paired with PowerVR SGX530 graphics acceleration and a dedicated PRU-ICSS subsystem featuring two 200-MHz programmable real-time units, 12KB shared RAM, and dual MII Ethernet ports supporting industrial protocols. Its memory subsystem includes 64KB OCMC RAM, 176KB boot ROM, and 16-bit EMIF supporting DDR2-532 and DDR3-800 data rates.
Power management uses SmartReflex Class 2B adaptive voltage scaling and five ADPLLs to generate MPU, DDR, USB, and peripheral clocks; the PRCM module enables deep-sleep modes with RTC wake-up via EXT_WAKEUP or alarm-triggered PMIC_POWER_EN assertion. The device integrates IEEE 1588v1 PTP support, dual CAN 2.0B controllers, and three eHRPWM modules with dual-edge symmetric/asymmetric output configuration.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3351BZCEA60?
The AM3351BZCEA60 is rated for 300 MHz operation (OPP1) per TI SPRS717L Rev L. It does not support higher OPPs like OPP2 (600 MHz) or OPP3 (800 MHz) due to silicon revision and feature disablement - confirmed in Table 3-1 of the device comparison section.
Does the AM3351BZCEA60 include a graphics accelerator?
No, the AM3351BZCEA60 omits the PowerVR SGX530 3D graphics engine. This is explicitly indicated in Table 3-1 of SPRS717L, where the "Graphics accelerator (SGX530)" row shows "-" for AM3351, distinguishing it from AM3354/AM3357/AM3358/AM3359 variants.
How many Ethernet MAC ports are supported on the AM3351BZCEA60?
The AM3351BZCEA60 supports one 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC port (ZCE package limitation). While the functional block diagram shows dual EMAC, Table 3-1 confirms "ZCE: 1 port" under the "Ethernet media access controller (EMAC) with 2-port switch" row - matching the pin map's single MII set.
What USB capabilities does the AM3351BZCEA60 provide?
The AM3351BZCEA60 integrates one USB 2.0 High-Speed Dual-Role Device (DRD) port with integrated PHY. As stated in Table 3-1, "ZCE: 1 port" - meaning it supports host/peripheral mode switching but lacks the second USB port present on ZCZ-package variants.
Is the PRU-ICSS fully enabled on the AM3351BZCEA60?
Yes, the PRU-ICSS subsystem is present and functional on AM3351BZCEA60, including both PRUs, 12KB shared RAM, and dual MII Ethernet interfaces. However, Table 3-1 notes "ZCE: Limited PRU I/Os pinned out", meaning fewer GPIOs are accessible compared to ZCZ variants - verified in the ZCE pin map.
