Product details
Overview
AM3354BZCEA60 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 PROFIBUS for industrial real-time control. It integrates PowerVR SGX530 graphics, USB 2.0 DRD, and GPMC for NAND/NOR/SRAM interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the AM3354BZCEA60 datasheet, AM3354BZCEA60 pinout, AM3354BZCEA60 application, or AM3354BZCEA60 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed industrial protocol support, exact package mapping to 298-ball NFBGA (ZCE), and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for embedded automation and HMI designs.
Technical Context
The AM3354BZCEA60 implements a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 CPU running at 300 MHz with NEON SIMD coprocessor, 32KB L1 instruction and 32KB L1 data cache (parity), and 256KB L2 cache with ECC. Its PRU-ICSS subsystem contains two 200-MHz programmable real-time units with 8KB instruction RAM, 8KB data RAM, and 12KB shared RAM - all with parity protection - enabling deterministic industrial protocol stacks independent of the ARM core.
It supports DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR memory interfaces at up to 532/800/400 Mbps data rates via a 16-bit EMIF, and includes a dedicated GPMC with BCH-based 4-/8-/16-bit ECC for NAND flash. The device uses SmartReflex Class 2B adaptive voltage scaling and dynamic voltage-frequency scaling (DVFS) across three switchable power domains (MPU, GFX, PER).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ARM-based industrial processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3356BZCEA60 | 600-MHz Cortex-A8, same ZCE package, identical peripheral set except higher CPU clock and DVFS support | Requires higher-power supply and thermal management; suitable for compute-intensive HMI or gateway tasks | Select when >300-MHz throughput is required and thermal budget allows 1.2× power increase |
| AM3352BZCZD60 | 600-MHz Cortex-A8 in 324-ball ZCZ package, adds second Ethernet port and full PRU-ICSS I/O pinout | Enables dual-network redundancy or separate control/data networks; larger PCB footprint required | Choose when dual Ethernet or expanded PRU I/O is mandatory and board space permits 15×15 mm package |
Compared with AM3354BZCEA60, AM3356BZCEA60 delivers 2× CPU performance in identical form factor but increases thermal load, while AM3352BZCZD60 trades compactness for dual Ethernet and full PRU pin access - making AM3354BZCEA60 optimal for thermally constrained, single-port industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3354BZCEA60?
The AM3354BZCEA60 is factory-specified and tested at a maximum operating frequency of 300 MHz. This fixed-speed grade ensures consistent thermal behavior and power consumption in extended temperature environments (–40°C to 125°C), eliminating the need for dynamic voltage-frequency scaling circuitry in thermally constrained designs. The AM3354BZCEA60 does not support higher OPPs like OPP100 or OPP200 found in faster variants.
Does the AM3354BZCEA60 support dual Ethernet ports?
No, the AM3354BZCEA60 in the ZCE package supports only one 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC. Although the AM335x silicon includes dual EMAC hardware, the ZCE package pins out only MII1 signals; MII2 is not bonded out. Dual Ethernet requires the ZCZ package variant (e.g., AM3354BZCZD60) or higher-grade parts like AM3358.
What industrial protocols does the PRU-ICSS in AM3354BZCEA60 support?
The PRU-ICSS in AM3354BZCEA60 supports EtherCAT, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and other real-time industrial protocols via TI's PRU-ICSS firmware libraries. While all AM335x devices include the PRU-ICSS hardware, the ZCE package has limited PRU I/O pinout - sufficient for basic EtherCAT slave or PROFIBUS DP implementations but not full multi-protocol concurrency.
Can the AM3354BZCEA60 boot from NAND flash with hardware ECC?
Yes, the AM3354BZCEA60 supports hardware BCH ECC (4-/8-/16-bit per 512-byte block) via its General-Purpose Memory Controller (GPMC). This enables reliable NAND flash boot and data storage without external ECC controllers, meeting industrial requirements for data integrity over 10+ year deployments.
What graphics capabilities does the AM3354BZCEA60 include?
The AM3354BZCEA60 integrates the PowerVR SGX530 3D graphics engine capable of 20 million polygons per second, supporting OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0, OpenVG 1.1, and Direct3D Mobile APIs. It includes a 24-bit LCD controller with up to 2048×2048 resolution and integrated DMA engine to offload frame buffer transfers from the ARM core.
