Product details
Overview
AM3352BZCE30 from Texas Instruments is a 600-MHz ARM Cortex-A8-based Sitara™ processor with 256KB L2 cache (ECC), 8-channel 12-bit SAR ADC, dual 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MACs (1-port enabled in ZCE package), and PRU-ICSS supporting EtherCAT and PROFIBUS for industrial real-time control. It integrates PowerVR SGX530 graphics, USB 2.0 DRD, and GPMC for NAND/NOR/SRAM interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the AM3352BZCE30 datasheet, AM3352BZCE30 pinout, AM3352BZCE30 application, or AM3352BZCE30 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 298-ball NFBGA (ZCE) package, industrial temperature range (–40°C to 105°C), single Ethernet port configuration, PRU-ICSS I/O pin limitations, and 600-MHz OPP performance point.
Technical Context
The AM3352BZCE30 implements a dual-core programmable real-time unit subsystem (PRU-ICSS) with two 200-MHz RISC processors, 8KB instruction/data RAM each, and 12KB shared RAM - enabling deterministic industrial protocol stacks independent of the Cortex-A8 core. Its memory subsystem supports DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L at 266/400 MHz data rates via a 16-bit EMIF with 1GB address space.
Power management includes SmartReflex™ Class 2B adaptive voltage scaling, five ADPLLs for clock generation, and three switchable power domains (MPU, GFX, PER). The device boots from external NAND/NOR/SD/MMC using 176KB on-chip ROM and supports secure boot with optional crypto acceleration (AES/SHA/RNG).

Pinout & Package
AM3352BZCE30 uses a 298-pin NFBGA (ZCE) package with 0.65-mm ball pitch and 13.0 mm × 13.0 mm body size. Pin functions are defined across three sections (left/middle/right) per TI SPRS717L datasheet Section 4.1.1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DDR_A0–DDR_A15 | Address bus (16-bit) | Connects to DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM for main system memory; requires matched trace lengths for timing compliance. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ARM-based industrial processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3354BZCE30 | Same ZCE package and pinout; higher 800-MHz OPP and full PRU-ICSS I/O pinout. | Supports dual Ethernet ports and enhanced industrial protocol stack depth vs. AM3352BZCE30's single-port limitation. | Select when requiring >600-MHz deterministic throughput or dual EMACs without PCB redesign. |
| AM3356BZCE30 | Same ZCE package; identical 600-MHz OPP but adds SGX530 graphics accelerator (AM3352BZCE30 lacks GPU). | Enables OpenGL ES 2.0 UI rendering and video playback - not supported on AM3352BZCE30 due to missing graphics IP. | Choose when HMI requires GPU-accelerated graphics but same thermal/power envelope as AM3352BZCE30 is required. |
Compared with AM3352BZCE30, AM3354BZCE30 offers higher CPU frequency and full PRU-ICSS I/O for expanded industrial protocols, while AM3356BZCE30 adds graphics capability at identical clock speed - making both viable alternatives depending on whether compute headroom or visual processing is the primary design constraint.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3352BZCE30?
The AM3352BZCE30 operates at a maximum guaranteed frequency of 600 MHz under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +105°C), corresponding to Operating Performance Point OPP2. This is confirmed in TI's SPRS717L datasheet Table 3-1 and Section 5.4, where OPP2 specifies 600-MHz operation with 1.1-V core voltage.
Does the AM3352BZCE30 support dual Ethernet ports?
No, the AM3352BZCE30 supports only one Ethernet MAC port (MII1/RMII1) in its ZCE package configuration, as documented in TI's SPRS717L Section 1.1 and Table 3-1. While the AM335x silicon includes two EMACs, the ZCE variant routes only one to external pins - unlike ZCZ-package variants which expose both.
What graphics capabilities does the AM3352BZCE30 include?
The AM3352BZCE30 does not integrate the PowerVR SGX530 graphics accelerator. Per TI's SPRS717L Table 3-1 and device comparison, graphics acceleration is present only in AM3354/AM3356/AM3357/AM3358/AM3359 variants - AM3352BZCE30 is explicitly marked with "-" under Graphics accelerator.
Which packages are available for the AM3352BZCE30?
The AM3352BZCE30 is exclusively offered in the 298-ball NFBGA (ZCE) package with 0.65-mm ball pitch and 13.0 mm × 13.0 mm body size, as specified in TI's SPRS717L Section 1.1 and Device Information table. The ZCZ (324-ball) variant is not available for AM3352.
What industrial communication protocols does the AM3352BZCE30 support via PRU-ICSS?
The AM3352BZCE30 supports EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and other industrial protocols through its PRU-ICSS subsystem, as stated in SPRS717L Section 1.1. However, due to limited PRU I/O pinout in the ZCE package, implementation depth may be constrained compared to ZCZ variants.
