Product details
Overview
AM3354BZCZA80 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 (ZCZ package), and PRU-ICSS supporting EtherCAT and PROFINET - deployed in industrial HMIs, programmable logic controllers, and smart metering gateways.
For engineers reviewing the AM3354BZCZA80 datasheet, AM3354BZCZA80 pinout, AM3354BZCZA80 application, or AM3354BZCZA80 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated package mapping, confirmed peripheral configuration, and real-world industrial use cases - all grounded in TI's SPRS717L production data sheet and device-specific ordering information.
Technical Context
The AM3354BZCZA80 implements a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 CPU running at 300 MHz (OPP1), paired with PowerVR SGX530 graphics acceleration and a dedicated PRU-ICSS subsystem featuring two 200-MHz programmable real-time units, 12KB shared RAM, and hardware support for industrial Ethernet protocols including EtherCAT and PROFINET. It integrates 64KB OCMC RAM accessible to all masters and supports retention for fast wakeup.
Its memory subsystem includes a 16-bit DDR2/DDR3/LPDDR controller (266/400 MHz clock), GPMC with NAND/NOR/SRAM support and BCH-based ECC up to 16-bit per 512-byte block, and a 12-bit ADC capable of 200 kSPS with resistive touch screen controller functionality. Clock management uses five ADPLLs and SmartReflex Class 2B adaptive voltage scaling.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3356BZCZA60 | 600-MHz CPU, same ZCE package, identical peripheral set but higher OPP rating | Higher throughput for multi-threaded Linux workloads; requires upgraded power delivery and thermal design | Select when deterministic real-time latency is less critical than overall compute throughput |
| AM3352BZCZD60 | ZCZ package (324-ball), 600-MHz CPU, adds SGX530 graphics and full PRU-ICSS I/O pinout vs. AM3354BZCZA80's ZCE-limited I/O | Supports dual-display LCD + HDMI output and full industrial protocol pin availability | Choose for HMI-rich applications requiring maximum peripheral accessibility and graphics bandwidth |
Compared with AM3354BZCZA80, AM3356BZCZA60 offers 2× CPU performance at the cost of higher power and thermal demand, while AM3352BZCZD60 trades the ZCE package's compact footprint for expanded I/O and graphics - making AM3354BZCZA80 optimal for thermally constrained, cost-sensitive industrial edge nodes where 300-MHz deterministic operation suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3354BZCZA80?
The AM3354BZCZA80 is rated for 300 MHz operation (OPP1) per TI's SPRS717L datasheet. This frequency is silicon-qualified and supported across the full –40°C to 125°C industrial temperature range. Higher OPPs (e.g., OPP2 at 600 MHz) are not enabled for this specific part number - only AM3356/AM3357/AM3358 variants support those speeds. The AM3354BZCZA80 maintains consistent timing margins and thermal behavior at 300 MHz, making it ideal for thermally constrained designs.
Does the AM3354BZCZA80 include an integrated graphics accelerator?
No, the AM3354BZCZA80 does not include the PowerVR SGX530 graphics accelerator. Per TI's device comparison table (SPRS717L Table 3-1), graphics capability is explicitly marked as "-" for AM3354, distinguishing it from AM3357/AM3358/AM3359. The AM3354BZCZA80 retains full CPU, PRU-ICSS, Ethernet, ADC, and peripheral functionality - but omits the SGX530 block to reduce cost and power for non-graphical industrial control applications.
Which package type is used by the AM3354BZCZA80?
The AM3354BZCZA80 uses the ZCE package: a 298-ball NFBGA with 13.0 mm × 13.0 mm body size and 0.65-mm ball pitch. This via-channel package is optimized for thermal performance and signal integrity in dense industrial PCB layouts. Unlike the larger 324-ball ZCZ variant, the ZCE package has fewer exposed PRU-ICSS I/O pins - a deliberate trade-off for compactness and cost in applications where full PRU pinout is unnecessary.
Can the AM3354BZCZA80 support EtherCAT master functionality?
Yes, the AM3354BZCZA80 supports EtherCAT master operation through its PRU-ICSS subsystem. The PRU-ICSS includes dedicated MII/RMII Ethernet ports, real-time timers, and programmable I/O - enabling implementation of EtherCAT frame processing, distributed clock synchronization, and cyclic I/O exchange without host CPU intervention. TI provides reference software and documentation confirming EtherCAT compatibility for AM3354 in industrial communication applications.
What is the ADC resolution and sampling rate of the AM3354BZCZA80?
The AM3354BZCZA80 integrates an 8-channel, 12-bit successive approximation register (SAR) ADC with a maximum sampling rate of 200 kSPS. It supports selectable input configurations (single-ended/differential), programmable reference voltage, and operates as a 4-/5-/8-wire resistive touch screen controller. All eight analog inputs (AIN0–AIN7) are multiplexed onto shared GPIO pins, allowing flexible routing in mixed-signal industrial designs.
