Product details
Overview
AM3354BZCE60 from Texas Instruments is a 300-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 operates across –40°C to 125°C.
For engineers reviewing the AM3354BZCE60 datasheet, AM3354BZCE60 pinout, AM3354BZCE60 application, or AM3354BZCE60 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 298-ball NFBGA (ZCE) package, 300-MHz operating frequency, industrial temperature rating (–40°C to 125°C), single Ethernet port configuration, and PRU-ICSS I/O pin limitations versus ZCZ variants.
Technical Context
The AM3354BZCE60 implements a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 CPU with NEON SIMD coprocessor, 32KB L1 instruction and data caches (parity-protected), and 256KB L2 cache with ECC. Its PRU-ICSS subsystem contains two 200-MHz programmable real-time units with 8KB instruction/data RAM each and 12KB shared RAM, enabling deterministic industrial protocol offload.
It supports DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR/DDR3L memory via a 16-bit EMIF running at up to 400-MHz clock (800-MHz data rate), and includes GPMC for NAND/NOR/SRAM interfacing with BCH-based 4-/8-/16-bit ECC. The device uses SmartReflex Class 2B AVS and DVFS for adaptive voltage scaling across three switchable power domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3354BZCE60?
The AM3354BZCE60 operates at a fixed 300 MHz frequency per silicon revision 2.x specifications. This frequency is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range and supports all on-chip peripherals including DDR3 at 400-MHz clock (800-Mbps data rate). Higher-frequency variants like AM3356BZCE60 run at 600 MHz but share identical packaging and pinout.
Does the AM3354BZCE60 support EtherCAT protocol out of the box?
Yes, the AM3354BZCE60 supports EtherCAT through its integrated PRU-ICSS subsystem, which includes dedicated firmware and hardware resources for real-time EtherCAT slave operation. TI provides certified EtherCAT slave stack and reference designs compatible with AM3354BZCE60, enabling sub-100-µs cycle times without ARM core involvement.
How many Ethernet ports are functional on the AM3354BZCE60?
The AM3354BZCE60 implements one fully functional 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC (EMAC) with MII/RMII/RGMII/MDIO support. Although the SoC contains dual EMAC logic, only the first port (MII1) is enabled and routed in the ZCE package; the second port is disabled in this variant per TI's device comparison table.
What is the purpose of the PRU-ICSS in the AM3354BZCE60?
The PRU-ICSS in the AM3354BZCE60 consists of two independent 200-MHz programmable real-time units with dedicated RAM and peripherals, enabling deterministic real-time tasks such as industrial protocol processing (EtherCAT, PROFIBUS), custom PWM generation, encoder feedback handling, and GPIO bit-banging-all without CPU scheduling latency or Linux kernel interference.
Can the AM3354BZCE60 operate in extended temperature environments?
Yes, the AM3354BZCE60 is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for extended industrial environments including motor control cabinets, outdoor utility meters, and factory-floor automation equipment. This rating is explicitly confirmed in Table 3-1 of the SPRS717L datasheet for the AM3354 variant with ZCE packaging.
