Product details
Overview
AM3358BZCE60 from Texas Instruments is a 1-GHz ARM® Cortex®-A8-based Sitara™ processor with 256KB L2 cache (ECC), 64KB OCMC RAM, dual 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MACs (1-port enabled in ZCE), PRU-ICSS for EtherCAT/PROFINET, and 8-channel 12-bit SAR ADC. It targets industrial HMIs, programmable logic controllers, and embedded vision gateways requiring real-time I/O and Linux-capable compute.
For engineers reviewing the AM3358BZCE60 datasheet, AM3358BZCE60 pinout, AM3358BZCE60 application, or AM3358BZCE60 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 298-ball NFBGA (ZCE) package, 1-GHz CPU frequency, DDR3/DDR3L memory interface support, PRU-ICSS real-time subsystem, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to 90°C).
Technical Context
The AM3358BZCE60 integrates a single-core ARM Cortex-A8 CPU with NEON SIMD coprocessor, 32KB L1 instruction and 32KB L1 data cache (parity-protected), and 256KB L2 cache with ECC. Its PRU-ICSS contains two 200-MHz programmable real-time units with 8KB instruction RAM, 8KB data RAM, and 12KB shared RAM-enabling deterministic industrial protocol stacks independent of the ARM core.
Memory subsystem includes a 16-bit EMIF supporting DDR3 at 400-MHz clock (800-MHz data rate), GPMC for NAND/NOR/SRAM with BCH 4-/8-/16-bit ECC, and integrated 12-bit SAR ADC with 200kSPS sampling and resistive touch screen controller capability. Clocking uses five ADPLLs and an integrated 15–35-MHz oscillator.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3359BZCZ100 | 324-ball NFBGA (ZCZ), 1-GHz, full dual Ethernet MAC support, –40°C to 105°C | Requires larger PCB footprint and supports both Ethernet ports; higher thermal rating | Select when dual 1-Gbps Ethernet and extended temperature are mandatory |
| AM3352BZCE30 | ZCE package, 600-MHz CPU, no SGX530 graphics, no PRU-ICSS | Lacks real-time subsystem and 3D graphics; suited for non-graphical control-only tasks | Select for cost-sensitive, non-graphical industrial controllers where PRU and GPU are unnecessary |
Compared with AM3358BZCE60, AM3359BZCZ100 offers full dual-Ethernet capability and wider temperature tolerance but increases PCB area and cost; AM3352BZCE30 reduces performance and feature set significantly, eliminating PRU-ICSS and graphics-making it suitable only for simpler control applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3358BZCE60?
The AM3358BZCE60 operates at up to 1 GHz, as confirmed in the AM335x datasheet SPRS717L revision L. This frequency is achieved under OPP50 operating performance point with appropriate voltage and thermal conditions. The AM3358BZCE60 part number suffix '60' explicitly denotes the 1-GHz speed grade, validated across the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +90°C).
Does the AM3358BZCE60 support DDR3L memory?
Yes, the AM3358BZCE60 supports DDR3L memory at 400-MHz clock (800-MHz data rate), as specified in the External Memory Interfaces section of SPRS717L. Its EMIF controller is compatible with standard DDR3 and low-voltage DDR3L modules, enabling flexible memory sourcing for industrial designs requiring lower power consumption.
How many Ethernet MACs are functional in the AM3358BZCE60 ZCE package?
The AM3358BZCE60 in the 298-ball ZCE package implements one fully functional 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII/RGMII support. The second MAC is not pinned out in the ZCE variant, as documented in Table 3-1 of SPRS717L. This differs from the ZCZ package, which exposes both MACs.
What real-time industrial protocols does the PRU-ICSS in AM3358BZCE60 support?
The PRU-ICSS in AM3358BZCE60 supports EtherCAT®, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™, PROFIBUS, and other industrial protocols through TI's PRU-ICSS software development kit. These protocols run deterministically on the dual 200-MHz PRU cores, independent of the ARM Cortex-A8, enabling sub-microsecond I/O response times required for motion control and distributed I/O systems.
Is the AM3358BZCE60 pin-compatible with other AM335x ZCE variants like AM3352BZCE30?
No, the AM3358BZCE60 is not pin-compatible with lower-speed ZCE variants such as AM3352BZCE30. While all ZCE packages share the same 298-ball NFBGA mechanical footprint and ball pitch, electrical functionality differs: AM3358BZCE60 enables full 1-GHz operation, PRU-ICSS, and SGX530 graphics, whereas AM3352BZCE30 disables these blocks and operates at 600 MHz. Signal routing and power sequencing must be verified per device-specific datasheet.
