Product details
Overview
AM3352BZCEA60R 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 SGX530 3D graphics, USB 2.0 DRD, and GPMC for NAND/NOR/SRAM interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the AM3352BZCEA60R datasheet, AM3352BZCEA60R pinout, AM3352BZCEA60R application, or AM3352BZCEA60R equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated ZCE 298-ball BGA pin mapping, confirmed industrial protocol support (EtherCAT via PRU-ICSS), thermal rating (–40°C to 105°C), and direct alternative part comparisons for embedded automation and HMI designs.
Technical Context
The AM3352BZCEA60R implements a dual-core programmable real-time unit subsystem (PRU-ICSS) with two 200-MHz RISC processors, 12KB shared RAM (parity), and dedicated MII/Ethernet ports-enabling deterministic EtherCAT slave operation independent of the Cortex-A8 core. Its memory subsystem includes 16-bit DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR interface (up to 400-MHz clock), 64KB OCMC RAM, and GPMC with BCH-based 4-/8-/16-bit ECC for NAND flash.
Power management uses SmartReflex™ Class 2B adaptive voltage scaling and five ADPLLs to generate MPU, DDR, USB, and peripheral clocks. The device supports IEEE 1588v1 PTP timing synchronization and features a 24-bit LCD controller with DMA-driven raster engine, enabling high-resolution display output without CPU overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3352BZCEA60R?
The AM3352BZCEA60R is rated for 600 MHz operation per its official TI datasheet (SPRS717L, Rev. L). This frequency is guaranteed across the full –40°C to +105°C industrial temperature range and corresponds to 1200 MIPS performance. Silicon revision 2.x supports this speed; earlier revisions may be limited to 500 MHz or 600 MHz depending on lot date and characterization.
Does the AM3352BZCEA60R support EtherCAT communication?
Yes, the AM3352BZCEA60R supports EtherCAT through its integrated PRU-ICSS subsystem. The PRU-ICSS provides dedicated MII Ethernet ports and programmable real-time units capable of executing the EtherCAT slave protocol stack with sub-microsecond jitter. This capability is explicitly confirmed in TI's AM335x documentation and supported by TI's Industrial SDK.
What package type and ball count does the AM3352BZCEA60R use?
The AM3352BZCEA60R uses the ZCE package: a 298-ball NFBGA with 0.65-mm ball pitch and 13.0 mm × 13.0 mm body size. This via-channel package is optimized for thermal performance and signal integrity in industrial PCB layouts. Pin maps are fully documented in Section 4.1.1 of the SPRS717L datasheet.
How many Ethernet ports are available on the AM3352BZCEA60R?
The AM3352BZCEA60R supports one 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC in the ZCE package variant. While the AM335x family includes devices with dual EMACs (e.g., AM3358/AM3359 in ZCZ), the ZCE package physically routes only one MII/RMII/RGMII interface - confirmed by pin map Table 4-1 and device comparison Table 3-1 in SPRS717L.
Is the AM3352BZCEA60R qualified for extended temperature operation?
Yes, the AM3352BZCEA60R is qualified for operation from –40°C to +105°C, as specified in Table 3-1 of the SPRS717L datasheet under "Operating temperature range." This extended rating applies specifically to the ZCE package and 600-MHz speed grade, making it suitable for deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and outdoor equipment.
