Product details
Overview
AM3354BZCED30 from Texas Instruments is a 300-MHz ARM Cortex-A8-based Sitara™ processor with 256KB L2 cache (ECC), 64KB OCMC RAM, dual 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MACs (1-port in ZCE package), PRU-ICSS for industrial protocols (EtherCAT, PROFINET), and 8-channel 12-bit SAR ADC. It targets industrial HMIs, programmable logic controllers, and embedded gateways requiring real-time I/O control and Linux-capable processing.
For engineers reviewing the AM3354BZCED30 datasheet, AM3354BZCED30 pinout, AM3354BZCED30 application, or AM3354BZCED30 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated package mapping to 298-ball NFBGA (ZCE), confirmed PRU-ICSS peripheral support, exact DDR3/DDR2/mDDR memory interface specs, and two rigorously validated alternative parts for industrial SoC selection.
Technical Context
The AM3354BZCED30 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-protected), 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-each supporting industrial Ethernet via dual MII ports and MDIO.
Memory subsystem includes 16-bit EMIF supporting DDR2 (532-Mbps), DDR3 (800-Mbps), mDDR (400-Mbps), and LPDDR, plus GPMC for NAND/NOR/SRAM with BCH 4-/8-/16-bit ECC. Power management uses SmartReflex Class 2B AVS and DVFS across three switchable domains (MPU, GFX, PER) and two non-switchable domains (RTC, WAKEUP).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | ARM Cortex-A8 @ 300 MHz - fixed-frequency operation per silicon revision 2.x; enables deterministic real-time response in industrial control loops. |
| L2 Cache | 256KB with ECC - prevents silent data corruption in safety-critical applications; required for certified industrial firmware execution. |
| EMIF Support | 16-bit DDR2/DDR3/mDDR/LPDDR - supports up to 1GB address space; enables cost-optimized external memory design with single x16 chip or dual x8 configuration. |
| PRU-ICSS | Dual 200-MHz PRUs + 12KB shared RAM - offloads EtherCAT frame processing and GPIO bit-banging from ARM core, reducing OS latency. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar industrial SoC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3356BZCZD30 | 600-MHz Cortex-A8, 324-ball ZCZ package, full 2-port Ethernet pinout, SGX530 graphics enabled | Requires larger PCB footprint (15×15 mm vs. 13×13 mm); supports dual-display HMI and higher-throughput EtherCAT master stacks | Select when >300-MHz CPU performance, dual Ethernet PHY connectivity, or 3D graphics acceleration are mandatory. |
| AM3352BZCED30 | 600-MHz Cortex-A8 in same 298-ball ZCE package; no PRU-ICSS I/O pins exposed; no SGX530 graphics | Lacks EtherCAT/PROFINET hardware offload; limited to basic industrial I/O without real-time protocol acceleration | Choose for cost-sensitive applications needing higher CPU speed but no industrial Ethernet or graphics - avoids PRU licensing overhead. |
Compared with AM3354BZCED30, AM3356BZCZD30 provides 2× CPU throughput and full dual-Ethernet routing at the cost of larger package and higher power; AM3352BZCED30 trades PRU-ICSS capability for higher clock speed in identical ZCE form factor, making it suitable only for non-real-time control tasks.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3354BZCED30?
The AM3354BZCED30 operates at a fixed 300 MHz CPU frequency per silicon revision 2.x specifications. This frequency is factory-configured and not user-adjustable via DVFS; higher-speed variants like AM3356BZCZD30 run at 600 MHz but require different package and thermal design.
Does the AM3354BZCED30 support DDR3 memory?
Yes, the AM3354BZCED30 supports DDR3 memory at 400-MHz clock (800-Mbps data rate) via its 16-bit EMIF. It also supports DDR2, mDDR, and LPDDR in the same interface, with configurable timing parameters in the PRU-ICSS and PRCM modules.
How many Ethernet ports are accessible on the AM3354BZCED30 ZCE package?
The AM3354BZCED30 in the 298-ball ZCE package exposes one full MII Ethernet port (MII1) with RX/TX data, control, and clock signals. The second MAC is present in silicon but not routed to package balls - unlike the ZCZ variant which exposes both ports.
What industrial protocols does the PRU-ICSS in AM3354BZCED30 support?
The PRU-ICSS in AM3354BZCED30 supports EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, and Ethernet Powerlink via TI's industrial SDK. Protocol stacks execute directly on the PRU cores, enabling sub-microsecond jitter and deterministic I/O without ARM core intervention.
Is the AM3354BZCED30 qualified for extended temperature operation?
Yes, the AM3354BZCED30 is qualified for –40°C to 125°C operation, meeting industrial extended temperature requirements. This rating applies specifically to the 300-MHz and 600-MHz frequency variants; thermal derating guidelines are provided in TI SPRS717L Section 5.8.
