Product details
Overview
AM3352BZCZ80 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 with integrated switch, and PRU-ICSS supporting EtherCAT and PROFINET - deployed in industrial HMIs, programmable logic controllers, and connected vending systems.
For engineers reviewing the AM3352BZCZ80 datasheet, AM3352BZCZ80 pinout, AM3352BZCZ80 application, or AM3352BZCZ80 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, real-time subsystem capabilities, memory interface specs, and validated alternative options for industrial embedded design.
Technical Context
The AM3352BZCZ80 integrates a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 CPU running at 600 MHz with NEON SIMD coprocessor, 32KB L1 instruction and 32KB L1 data cache (parity-protected), and 256KB L2 cache with ECC - enabling deterministic execution for Linux-based industrial control firmware. It features a dedicated PRU-ICSS subsystem with two 200-MHz programmable real-time units, 12KB shared RAM, and hardware-accelerated industrial protocol stacks including EtherCAT and PROFINET.
Its memory subsystem supports DDR2/DDR3/DDR3L at 266/400 MHz clock rates (532/800 Mbps data rate) via a 16-bit EMIF, while the GPMC provides flexible 8-/16-bit asynchronous access to NAND/NOR/SRAM with BCH-based 4-/8-/16-bit ECC. The device operates across –40°C to 105°C and uses SmartReflex™ Class 2B adaptive voltage scaling for thermal-aware power management.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3358BZCZ100 | 1-GHz Cortex-A8, same ZCZ package, identical peripheral set - higher performance but increased power and thermal demand. | Suitable for compute-intensive tasks like video analytics or multi-threaded SCADA gateways where 600-MHz headroom is insufficient. | Select when sustained >1.2-GIPS throughput is required and thermal design accommodates ~25% higher TDP. |
| AM3356BZCE60 | 600-MHz Cortex-A8 in 298-ball ZCE package (0.65-mm pitch, 13×13 mm), reduced PRU I/O pin count, single Ethernet port. | Targeted for space-constrained cost-sensitive applications such as compact sensor nodes or edge gateways with minimal I/O expansion. | Choose for BOM cost reduction and smaller PCB footprint where dual Ethernet and full PRU pinout are unnecessary. |
Compared with AM3352BZCZ80, AM3358BZCZ100 offers higher CPU throughput at the expense of thermal headroom, while AM3356BZCE60 trades package size and I/O count for lower system-level cost - making each suitable for distinct industrial form factors and performance tiers.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3352BZCZ80?
The AM3352BZCZ80 is rated for 600 MHz operation under recommended conditions (–40°C to 105°C). This frequency is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range and aligns with silicon revision 2.x specifications in the official AM335x datasheet SPRS717L. Higher frequencies (e.g., 800 MHz) are supported only by AM3357/AM3358 variants.
Does the AM3352BZCZ80 include hardware cryptographic acceleration?
Yes, the AM3352BZCZ80 integrates dedicated crypto hardware accelerators supporting AES-128/256 encryption/decryption, SHA-1/256 hashing, and a true random number generator (RNG). These blocks operate independently of the Cortex-A8 core and are accessible via TI's Crypto Library for secure boot, TLS offload, and firmware signature verification.
How many Ethernet ports does the AM3352BZCZ80 support?
The AM3352BZCZ80 supports two independent 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MACs with integrated switch fabric. Both ports support MII, RMII, and RGMII physical layer interfaces and include IEEE 1588v1 Precision Time Protocol hardware timestamping - enabling time-synchronized industrial networking without external PHYs.
What package type and ball count does the AM3352BZCZ80 use?
The AM3352BZCZ80 uses a 324-ball NFBGA package (ZCZ suffix) with 0.80-mm ball pitch and 15.0 mm × 15.0 mm body size. This package is mechanically and electrically compatible with other ZCZ-suffixed AM335x variants (e.g., AM3358BZCZ100) and supports full pinout access to all peripherals including dual Ethernet, PRU-ICSS I/O, and LCD interface signals.
Is the PRU-ICSS subsystem available on the AM3352BZCZ80?
Yes, the AM3352BZCZ80 includes the full Programmable Real-Time Unit Subsystem and Industrial Communication Subsystem (PRU-ICSS) with two 200-MHz PRUs, 12KB shared RAM, and hardware support for EtherCAT, PROFINET, and EtherNet/IP.
