Product details
Overview
AM3352BZCEA30 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 PROFINET 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 AM3352BZCEA30 datasheet, AM3352BZCEA30 pinout, AM3352BZCEA30 application, or AM3352BZCEA30 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 298-ball NFBGA (ZCE) package, -40°C to 105°C industrial temperature rating, 64KB OCMC RAM, DDR3/DDR2/mDDR interface, and PRU-ICSS programmability for deterministic I/O offload.
Technical Context
The AM3352BZCEA30 implements a dual-core PRU-ICSS subsystem with two 200-MHz RISC processors, 8KB instruction/data RAM (parity), and 12KB shared RAM (parity), enabling independent real-time protocol stacks like EtherCAT without CPU intervention. Its MPU subsystem delivers 1200 MIPS at 600 MHz with NEON SIMD, L1/L2 cache hierarchy, and adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) via SmartReflex™ Class 2B.
It supports IEEE 1588v1 PTP timing synchronization, dual eHRPWM modules (6 outputs), three eQEP interfaces for motor position feedback, and a 24-bit LCD controller with DMA-driven raster engine - all accessible through a unified memory architecture with hardware mailbox and spinlock IPC between Cortex-A8, PRU-ICSS, and PRCM.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3354BZCZA30 | 324-ball ZCZ package; supports dual Ethernet ports and full PRU-ICSS I/O pinout; rated for -40°C to 90°C | Requires larger PCB footprint and different thermal layout; enables dual-EMAC redundancy or separate control/data networks | Select when dual-gigabit Ethernet or extended PRU peripheral access is required; not drop-in compatible due to package and pinout differences |
| AM3356BZCZA30 | Same ZCZ package as AM3354 but operates at 600 MHz with full PRU-ICSS I/O and dual Ethernet; identical temperature range (-40°C to 90°C) | Offers same peripheral count as AM3354 but with higher thermal margin for fanless enclosures | Choose for designs needing full peripheral access and dual Ethernet in ZCZ package; requires PCB redesign from ZCE |
Compared with AM3352BZCEA30, AM3354BZCZA30 and AM3356BZCZA30 provide dual Ethernet and expanded PRU I/O but require larger 324-ball packages and different thermal management - making AM3352BZCEA30 optimal for space-constrained, single-port industrial controllers operating across extended temperature ranges.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3352BZCEA30?
The AM3352BZCEA30 is rated for 600 MHz operation per the official AM335x datasheet SPRS717L. This frequency is validated across the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) and corresponds to 1200 MIPS performance. Silicon revision 2.x supports this speed; earlier revisions are limited to 500 MHz or 600 MHz depending on lot.
Does the AM3352BZCEA30 support dual Ethernet MACs?
The AM3352BZCEA30 silicon includes dual Ethernet MAC hardware, but only one port is enabled and routed in the ZCE package. Pinout documentation confirms MII1 signals are available while MII0 signals are not bonded out. Therefore, AM3352BZCEA30 supports a single 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet interface in hardware.
What package type and ball count does the AM3352BZCEA30 use?
The AM3352BZCEA30 uses a 298-ball NFBGA package (ZCE suffix) with 0.65-mm ball pitch and 13.0 mm × 13.0 mm body size. This Via Channel package is distinct from the 324-ball ZCZ variant and features optimized thermal vias for industrial convection-cooled applications.
Can the AM3352BZCEA30 run Linux and real-time operating systems simultaneously?
Yes - the AM3352BZCEA30 supports concurrent execution of Linux on the ARM Cortex-A8 core and real-time tasks on the dual PRU-ICSS subsystem. TI provides Processor SDK Linux and TI-RTOS, and the hardware mailbox/IPC mechanism enables deterministic communication between the two execution environments without OS interference.
What industrial protocols does the PRU-ICSS in AM3352BZCEA30 support?
The PRU-ICSS in AM3352BZCEA30 supports EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and other industrial protocols via downloadable firmware. While the ZCE package has limited PRU I/O pinout compared to ZCZ variants, it retains full PRU instruction set and memory resources needed to implement protocol stacks with sub-millisecond cycle times.
