Product details
Overview
AM3352BZCE60 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 for industrial protocols including EtherCAT and PROFINET - deployed in industrial HMIs, programmable logic controllers, and connected weighing scales.
For engineers reviewing the AM3352BZCE60 datasheet, AM3352BZCE60 pinout, AM3352BZCE60 application, or AM3352BZCE60 equivalent, this page delivers verified SoC identity, validated ZCE 298-ball BGA package mapping, confirmed 600-MHz OPP, PRU-ICSS protocol support scope, and real-world industrial use context - all directly traceable to TI SPRS717L revision March 2020.
Technical Context
The AM3352BZCE60 implements a dual-core subsystem: a 600-MHz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU with NEON SIMD, 32KB L1 I/D cache (parity), and 256KB L2 cache (ECC); plus a separate PRU-ICSS with two 200-MHz RISC cores, 12KB shared RAM (parity), and dedicated MII/Ethernet PHY interfaces. Its memory subsystem supports DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L at 266/400 MHz (532/800 Mbps data rate) via a 16-bit EMIF with 1GB address space.
Power management includes SmartReflex Class 2B adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) and dynamic voltage-frequency scaling (DVFS) across three switchable domains (MPU, GFX, PER). The device integrates IEEE 1588v1 PTP support, dual CAN 2.0A/B controllers, six UARTs with IrDA/CIR, and a 24-bit LCD controller with integrated DMA-driven raster engine - all operating within −40°C to 105°C industrial temperature range.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3354BZCE60 | Same ZCE package, 300-MHz max frequency, no SGX530 graphics, limited PRU I/O pinout | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-graphical control applications where 600-MHz performance is unnecessary | Select when thermal budget or BOM cost constraints outweigh need for higher CPU throughput |
| AM3356BZCZ100 | 324-ball ZCZ package, 600-MHz speed, full PRU I/O, dual Ethernet ports enabled, 15.0 mm × 15.0 mm footprint | Required for designs needing second Ethernet port or expanded peripheral pin access beyond ZCE limits | Choose when dual MII/RMII interfaces or additional GPIO/eHRPWM channels are mandatory |
Compared with AM3354BZCE60, the AM3352BZCE60 delivers 100% higher CPU performance at same package size; versus AM3356BZCZ100, it trades one Ethernet port and larger footprint for lower assembly cost and thermal envelope - ideal for single-port industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3352BZCE60?
The AM3352BZCE60 operates at a guaranteed maximum frequency of 600 MHz per TI SPRS717L revision March 2020. This corresponds to Operating Performance Point (OPP) OPP100, delivering 1200 MIPS performance. Frequency is silicon-revision dependent - revision 2.x supports 600 MHz, while earlier revisions are limited to 500 MHz. The AM3352BZCE60 does not support 800 MHz or 1 GHz operation.
Does the AM3352BZCE60 include graphics acceleration?
No, the AM3352BZCE60 does not include the PowerVR SGX530 3D graphics accelerator. Per TI's AM335x device comparison table (SPRS717L Table 3-1), graphics capability is excluded from all ZCE-package variants including AM3352BZCE60. Graphics features are only present in ZCZ-package devices such as AM3358ZCZ and AM3359ZCZ. The AM3352BZCE60 retains full 24-bit LCD controller functionality with DMA-driven raster engine.
How many Ethernet ports are supported on the AM3352BZCE60?
The AM3352BZCE60 integrates two Gigabit Ethernet MACs but only one is enabled and routed in the ZCE 298-ball package. As confirmed in TI SPRS717L Table 3-1 and Section 1.1, the ZCE variant provides "1 port" for Ethernet media access. The second MAC is physically present in the silicon but not bonded out - making the AM3352BZCE60 a single-port industrial Ethernet solution. Dual-port capability requires ZCZ-package variants like AM3356BZCZ100.
What industrial protocols does the PRU-ICSS in AM3352BZCE60 support?
The PRU-ICSS in AM3352BZCE60 supports EtherCAT®, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™, and other industrial protocols as stated in TI SPRS717L Section 1.1. However, due to limited PRU I/O pinout in the ZCE package, only basic industrial protocol implementations are feasible - full-featured EtherCAT slave stacks require ZCZ variants. The AM3352BZCE60's PRU-ICSS remains fully functional for custom real-time I/O, encoder interfacing, and deterministic bit-banged protocols.
Is the AM3352BZCE60 qualified for extended temperature operation?
Yes, the AM3352BZCE60 is qualified for operation from −40°C to +105°C, meeting industrial temperature grade requirements. This is explicitly listed in TI SPRS717L Table 3-1 under "Operating temperature range" for AM3352. The qualification applies specifically to the 600-MHz speed grade and ZCE package - ensuring reliability in factory automation, outdoor kiosks, and transportation control systems without derating.
