Product details
Overview
AM3352ZCED50 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 weighing scales.
For engineers reviewing the AM3352ZCED50 datasheet, AM3352ZCED50 pinout, AM3352ZCED50 application, or AM3352ZCED50 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-time industrial protocol support details, and validated alternative options for embedded SoC selection.
Technical Context
The AM3352ZCED50 implements 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. It integrates PowerVR SGX530 graphics acceleration and a dedicated 64KB OCMC RAM accessible by all masters.
Its PRU-ICSS subsystem contains two 200-MHz programmable real-time units with 8KB instruction RAM, 8KB data RAM, and 12KB shared RAM (all parity-protected), enabling deterministic execution of industrial protocols including EtherCAT and PROFIBUS without CPU intervention.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ARM-based industrial SoC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3354ZCED60 | 600-MHz CPU, same ZCE package, but adds SGX530 3D graphics accelerator and full PRU-ICSS I/O pinout. | Required when HMI demands OpenGL ES 2.0 rendering or full EtherCAT slave pin availability beyond AM3352ZCED50's limited PRU I/O. | Select AM3354ZCED60 if graphics performance or expanded real-time I/O count is critical; otherwise AM3352ZCED50 offers lower cost and identical core functionality. |
| AM3356ZCED60 | 600-MHz CPU, same ZCE package, includes both USB 2.0 DRD ports (vs. one in AM3352ZCED50) and dual Ethernet MACs fully pinned out. | Suitable for applications requiring dual independent Ethernet interfaces (e.g., isolated control + IT network) or dual USB host/peripheral capability. | Choose AM3356ZCED60 only when second USB port or second Ethernet MAC is mandatory; AM3352ZCED50 suffices for single-network, single-USB field devices. |
Compared with AM3354ZCED60 and AM3356ZCED60, the AM3352ZCED50 provides identical 600-MHz Cortex-A8 performance and PRU-ICSS real-time capability in the ZCE package but omits secondary USB and full graphics - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, single-interface industrial controllers where those features are unused.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3352ZCED50?
The AM3352ZCED50 operates at a guaranteed maximum frequency of 600 MHz across its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C). This frequency is silicon-revision 2.x compliant and enables 1200 MIPS performance for deterministic real-time task execution in Linux or TI-RTOS environments. The AM3352ZCED50 does not support 800-MHz or 1-GHz operation - those speeds are reserved for higher-tier AM3357/AM3358 variants.
Does the AM3352ZCED50 support dual Ethernet MACs?
The AM3352ZCED50 die includes dual 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MACs, but only one is fully routed and functional in the ZCE package. Pinout documentation confirms MII1 signals are available, while MII0 signals are not bonded out. Therefore, AM3352ZCED50 supports exactly one Ethernet interface - unlike ZCZ-package variants which expose both MACs.
Which packages are compatible with the AM3352ZCED50?
The AM3352ZCED50 is exclusively offered in the 298-ball NFBGA ZCE package with 0.65-mm ball pitch and 13.0 mm × 13.0 mm body size. It is not available in the larger 324-ball ZCZ package. The ZCE package uses via-channel technology for improved signal integrity and thermal performance in dense industrial PCB layouts.
What industrial protocols does the PRU-ICSS in AM3352ZCED50 support?
The PRU-ICSS in AM3352ZCED50 supports EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and other real-time industrial protocols through TI's PRU-ICSS Ethernet IP and protocol stacks. While all AM335x PRU-ICSS instances share the same dual-PRU architecture, AM3352ZCED50's ZCE package limits PRU I/O pin availability - sufficient for basic EtherCAT slave operation but not full pinout for all protocol variants.
Is hardware cryptographic acceleration available on AM3352ZCED50?
Yes, the AM3352ZCED50 includes dedicated hardware accelerators for AES-128/192/256, SHA-1/224/256, and a true random number generator (TRNG). These modules operate independently of the Cortex-A8 CPU and are accessible via TI's Cryptographic Services Library - enabling secure boot, TLS handshake offload, and encrypted firmware updates without impacting real-time application latency.
