Texas Instruments AM3352BZCED60

Overview

AM3352BZCED60 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 - deployed in industrial HMIs, programmable logic controllers, and connected vending machines.

For engineers reviewing the AM3352BZCED60 datasheet, AM3352BZCED60 pinout, AM3352BZCED60 application, or AM3352BZCED60 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical identity, validated ZCE package mapping, confirmed 298-ball NFBGA pin functions, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for industrial SoC selection.

Technical Context

The AM3352BZCED60 implements a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 CPU with NEON SIMD coprocessor, 32KB L1 instruction and 32KB L1 data cache (parity-protected), and 256KB L2 cache with ECC - enabling deterministic real-time execution in Linux-based industrial control systems. Its PRU-ICSS subsystem operates independently at 200 MHz with 8KB instruction RAM and 8KB data RAM (both parity-protected), delivering hard real-time I/O handling without CPU intervention.

It integrates dual Ethernet MACs (MII/RMII/RGMII/MDIO), two CAN 2.0B controllers, six UARTs with flow control, three McSPI interfaces, three I²C masters/slaves, and a 24-bit LCD controller with integrated DMA engine - all accessible via a unified L3/L4 interconnect fabric. Power management includes SmartReflex Class 2B AVS and DVFS across three switchable domains (MPU, GFX, PER).

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

AM3352BZCED60 uses the 298-ball S-PBGA-N298 Via Channel (ZCE) package with 0.65-mm ball pitch and 13.0 mm × 13.0 mm body size. Ball assignments are organized into left/middle/right sections per TI SPRS717L Section 4.1.1.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3352BZCED60?

The AM3352BZCED60 is rated for 600 MHz operation per TI SPRS717L revision L. This frequency is silicon-validated under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +105°C) and supported by the on-die ADPLLs and SmartReflex AVS voltage scaling. The AM3352BZCED60 achieves 1200 MIPS at this speed, enabling real-time Linux execution in resource-constrained edge nodes.

Does the AM3352BZCED60 support dual Ethernet ports?

No, the AM3352BZCED60 in the ZCE package supports only one 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC. Dual EMAC capability is reserved for ZCZ-package variants (e.g., AM3356BZCZD60). The AM3352BZCED60's single EMAC implements MII, RMII, RGMII, and MDIO interfaces and supports IEEE 1588v1 Precision Time Protocol for time-sensitive networking.

What graphics capabilities does the AM3352BZCED60 include?

The AM3352BZCED60 does not integrate the PowerVR SGX530 3D graphics engine. Graphics acceleration is omitted in the AM3352 variant per TI's device comparison table (SPRS717L Table 3-1). The AM3352BZCED60 retains the 24-bit LCD controller with DMA engine and raster display support, but lacks tile-based rendering, USSE shader units, and OpenGL ES 2.0 API compliance found in AM3356/AM3357/AM3358/AM3359.

How many PRU-ICSS instances does the AM3352BZCED60 contain?

The AM3352BZCED60 contains one PRU-ICSS subsystem with two programmable real-time units (PRU0 and PRU1), each running at 200 MHz with 8KB instruction RAM and 8KB data RAM (both parity-protected), plus 12KB shared RAM. This matches all AM335x devices except AM3351, which omits PRU-ICSS entirely. The AM3352BZCED60's PRU-ICSS supports EtherCAT, PROFINET, and custom I/O protocols.

What is the ADC resolution and sampling rate of the AM3352BZCED60?

The AM3352BZCED60 integrates an 8-channel, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with a maximum sampling rate of 200 kSPS. It supports configurable input multiplexing, 4-/5-/8-wire resistive touch screen interface, and internal voltage references (VREFP/VREFN). All eight analog inputs (AIN0–AIN7) are accessible via dedicated pins and share the same ADC core in the AM3352BZCED60.
