Product details
Overview
AM3359BZCZD30 from Texas Instruments is a 600-MHz ARM Cortex-A8-based Sitara™ processor with 256KB L2 cache (ECC), 8-channel 12-bit SAR ADC, dual 1-Gbps Ethernet MACs with integrated switch and IEEE 1588v1 support, and dual PRU-ICSS subsystems enabling EtherCAT and PROFINET for industrial real-time control in programmable logic controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AM3359BZCZD30 datasheet, AM3359BZCZD30 pinout, AM3359BZCZD30 application, or AM3359BZCZD30 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping to 324-pin NFBGA (ZCZ), confirmed pin functions, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The AM3359BZCZD30 implements a dual-core PRU-ICSS architecture with two independent 200-MHz 32-bit RISC processors, each backed by 8KB instruction/data RAM (parity) and 12KB shared RAM (parity), directly interfacing to MII/RMII/RGMII Ethernet PHYs and supporting hardware-accelerated EtherCAT frame processing. Its MPU subsystem integrates NEON SIMD, 32KB/32KB L1 cache (parity), and PowerVR SGX530 graphics engine delivering up to 20 million polygons/sec.
It supports DDR3/DDR3L at 400-MHz clock (800-MHz data rate) via 16-bit EMIF, includes GPMC with BCH-based 4-/8-/16-bit ECC for NAND/NOR, and features dedicated hardware crypto accelerators (AES, SHA, RNG) alongside secure boot capability requiring TI custom engagement. The device operates across –40°C to 105°C with SmartReflex Class 2B adaptive voltage scaling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ARM Cortex-A8 processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3358BZCZD30 | Same 600-MHz Cortex-A8 core, identical PRU-ICSS and peripheral set, but rated for 0°C to 90°C ambient | Suitable for commercial indoor applications; lacks extended industrial temperature qualification | Select when thermal margin exceeds 15°C and secure boot is not required |
| AM3359BZCZD80 | Identical silicon and feature set, but specified for 800-MHz operation (vs. 600-MHz for AM3359BZCZD30) | Enables higher OS throughput and faster graphics rendering; requires tighter power delivery and thermal design | Choose when application demands >1600 MIPS and can accommodate increased power dissipation |
Compared with AM3359BZCZD30, AM3358BZCZD30 reduces thermal qualification at no cost premium, while AM3359BZCZD80 increases compute headroom at the expense of higher junction temperature and supply stability requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3359BZCZD30?
The AM3359BZCZD30 is factory-specified and tested for stable operation at 600 MHz across its full –40°C to +105°C temperature range. This frequency is fixed per device variant; higher-speed variants like AM3359BZCZD80 operate at 800 MHz but require separate qualification and thermal validation. The AM3359BZCZD30 does not support dynamic overclocking beyond its rated OPP.
Does the AM3359BZCZD30 support IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol?
Yes, the AM3359BZCZD30 supports IEEE 1588v1 Precision Time Protocol with hardware timestamping on both integrated Ethernet MACs. Timestamp registers capture packet ingress/egress times with sub-100-ns resolution, enabling synchronization accuracy required for distributed motion control systems. IEEE 1588v2 is not supported on this device variant.
What package type and pin count does the AM3359BZCZD30 use?
The AM3359BZCZD30 uses a 324-ball NFBGA package (suffix ZCZ) with 0.80-mm ball pitch and 15.0 mm × 15.0 mm body size. This matches the pinout of other ZCZ-suffixed AM335x devices including AM3358BZCZD30 and AM3359BZCZD80, ensuring PCB layout compatibility within the ZCZ family.
Can the AM3359BZCZD30 run Linux and real-time operating systems simultaneously?
Yes, the AM3359BZCZD30 supports concurrent execution of Linux on the Cortex-A8 core and real-time tasks on the dual PRU-ICSS subsystems. TI provides Processor SDK Linux and TI-RTOS with inter-processor communication (IPC) middleware, allowing Linux to manage UI/networking while PRUs handle time-critical I/O and protocol stacks without OS scheduling interference.
Is secure boot enabled by default on the AM3359BZCZD30?
No, secure boot is optional on the AM3359BZCZD30 and requires custom part engagement with Texas Instruments during manufacturing. The device includes ROM-based boot code capable of verifying signed images using AES-256 and SHA-256, but factory programming of cryptographic keys and boot policy configuration must be arranged separately through TI's secure device services.
