Product details
Overview
AM3352BZCEA60 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 in ZCE package), and PRU-ICSS supporting EtherCAT and PROFINET for industrial real-time control. It integrates PowerVR SGX530 graphics, USB 2.0 DRD, CAN v2.0, and LCD controller for HMI applications.
For engineers reviewing the AM3352BZCEA60 datasheet, AM3352BZCEA60 pinout, AM3352BZCEA60 application, or AM3352BZCEA60 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated ZCE package pin mapping, confirmed industrial protocol support (EtherCAT/PROFIBUS), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for embedded automation and connected device design.
Technical Context
The AM3352BZCEA60 implements a dual-core programmable real-time unit subsystem (PRU-ICSS) with two 200-MHz RISC processors, 8KB instruction/data RAM (parity), and 12KB shared RAM-enabling deterministic I/O handling independent of the Cortex-A8 core. Its PRU-ICSS includes two MII Ethernet ports, one MDIO, and one UART, all supporting industrial Ethernet protocols.
It features a 16-bit DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR interface (400-MHz clock, 800-MHz data rate), GPMC with NAND/NOR/SRAM support and BCH 4/8/16-bit ECC, and a 24-bit LCD controller with DMA-driven raster engine capable of 2048×2048 resolution at 126-MHz pixel clock.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3352BZCEA60?
The AM3352BZCEA60 operates at a guaranteed maximum frequency of 600 MHz across its specified industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C). This speed is validated per TI's SPRS717L datasheet revision L and corresponds to silicon revision 2.x, delivering 1200 MIPS for Linux-based real-time applications. The AM3352BZCEA60 does not support 800-MHz or 1-GHz operation-those frequencies apply only to higher-tier variants like AM3357/AM3358.
Does the AM3352BZCEA60 support EtherCAT out of the box?
Yes, the AM3352BZCEA60 supports EtherCAT through its integrated PRU-ICSS subsystem, which includes dedicated MII Ethernet ports, MDIO, and programmable real-time units capable of processing EtherCAT frames with sub-microsecond jitter. TI provides certified EtherCAT slave stack and reference designs specifically validated for AM3352BZCEA60, enabling direct implementation without external FPGA or ASIC.
What package type and ball count does the AM3352BZCEA60 use?
The AM3352BZCEA60 uses the 298-ball NFBGA (ZCE) package with 0.65-mm ball pitch and 13.0 mm × 13.0 mm body size. This Via Channel package is explicitly documented in TI's SPRS717L datasheet Section 9.2 and distinguishes it from the 324-ball ZCZ variant. Pin assignments are fully detailed in Section 4.1.1 (ZCE Pin Map) of the same document.
Can the AM3352BZCEA60 run Linux and real-time tasks simultaneously?
Yes, the AM3352BZCEA60 supports concurrent Linux execution on the Cortex-A8 core and hard real-time tasks on the dual PRU-ICSS coprocessors. The PRUs operate independently with their own 200-MHz clocks, 8KB instruction/data RAM, and direct pin access-allowing deterministic I/O, EtherCAT frame handling, or PWM generation without OS scheduling latency. TI's Processor SDK Linux includes PRU firmware loaders and inter-processor communication (IPC) examples for AM3352BZCEA60.
What is the role of the 12-bit ADC in the AM3352BZCEA60?
The AM3352BZCEA60 integrates an 8-channel, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with 200 kSPS sampling rate, supporting both analog sensor acquisition and 4-/5-/8-wire resistive touch screen control. It routes inputs through an 8:1 analog multiplexer and includes internal reference buffers (VREFP/VREFN), making it suitable for medical diagnostics, weight sensing, and HMI touch panels without external ADC components.
