Product details
Overview
AM3715CBCD100 from Texas Instruments is a Sitara™ ARM® Cortex™-A8 microprocessor operating up to 1 GHz with adaptive core voltage (0.9–1.2 V), integrated POWERVR SGX graphics accelerator, 256-KB L2 cache, and dual USB 2.0 subsystems (OTG + multiport host). It targets embedded human-machine interface and portable infotainment systems requiring real-time video processing and Linux/Android OS support.
For engineers reviewing the AM3715CBCD100 datasheet, AM3715CBCD100 pinout, AM3715CBCD100 application, or AM3715CBCD100 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 515-pin s-PBGA (CBC package), 45-nm process, SmartReflex™ DVFS, GPMC/NAND/SDRAM memory controller support, and camera ISP with BT.656 interface - all critical for industrial HMI and medical imaging designs.
Technical Context
The AM3715CBCD100 implements an in-order, dual-issue, superscalar ARMv7-A architecture with TrustZone® security, NEON™ SIMD coprocessor, and MMU enhancements. Its memory subsystem includes 32-KB L1 instruction/data caches, 256-KB unified L2 cache, 64-KB on-chip SRAM, and 32-KB ROM.
Graphics acceleration is handled by a tile-based POWERVR SGX engine delivering up to 20 MPoly/sec, supporting OpenGLES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0. The device integrates a dedicated image signal processor (ISP) with parallel camera interface (BT.601/BT.656), resize engine, and hardware anti-aliasing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ARM application processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3703CBCD100 | Same package and pinout, but lacks POWERVR SGX graphics accelerator and has reduced L2 cache (128 KB vs 256 KB) | Suitable for non-graphics HMI or control-only applications where UI rendering is software-based or minimal | Select AM3703CBCD100 only when graphics acceleration is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over future UI scalability |
| AM3358BZCZ100 | ARM Cortex-A8 at 1 GHz, no SGX, 64 KB L2 cache, PRU-ICSS for real-time I/O, different 324-pin package (no pin compatibility) | Better suited for industrial protocols (EtherCAT, PROFIBUS) and deterministic real-time control due to PRUs | Choose AM3358BZCZ100 for new designs requiring industrial Ethernet offload or legacy fieldbus bridging - not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with AM3703CBCD100, AM3715CBCD100 adds essential graphics throughput and cache for rich UIs; versus AM3358BZCZ100, it trades PRU flexibility for higher multimedia performance and broader OS driver maturity, making it optimal for consumer-facing embedded displays.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AM3715CBCD100?
The AM3715CBCD100 is rated for commercial (0°C to 90°C) and extended temperature (–40°C to 125°C) operation. Its thermal design requires proper PCB copper pour and heatsink integration, especially under sustained 1-GHz CPU + SGX GPU load. The device includes on-die thermal sensors monitored via the PRCM module, and SmartReflex™ dynamically adjusts voltage/frequency to maintain safe junction temperatures in the AM3715CBCD100.
Does the AM3715CBCD100 support boot from NAND flash with hardware ECC?
Yes, the AM3715CBCD100 integrates a GPMC with on-the-fly Hamming-code ECC generation and checking for NAND flash devices. This allows reliable boot from NAND without external ECC controllers. The GPMC supports up to 8 chip selects and interfaces directly to common SLC/MLC NAND parts, making NAND boot viable and robust in the AM3715CBCD100-based system.
Can the AM3715CBCD100 run Android OS out of the box?
Yes, Texas Instruments provides official Android BSPs (Board Support Packages) for the AM3715CBCD100, including kernel drivers for SGX graphics, ISP, display subsystem, and USB. These BSPs are validated on TI reference platforms and support Android versions up to 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich), with community ports extending support further - all confirmed for the AM3715CBCD100.
What video output interfaces does the AM3715CBCD100 support natively?
The AM3715CBCD100 supports native parallel RGB (up to 24-bit), BT.656/BT.601 YCbCr 4:2:2, and analog CVBS/S-Video outputs via its dual-output 3-layer display processor. It does not include HDMI or LVDS transmitters on-die; those require external PHYs. The display processor supports temporal dithering and gamma correction, and is fully supported in Linux DRM/KMS for the AM3715CBCD100.
Is the AM3715CBCD100 pin-compatible with the AM3703CBCD100?
Yes, the AM3715CBCD100 and AM3703CBCD100 share identical 515-pin s-PBGA (CBC) packaging, pin mapping, and ball pitch (0.65 mm top / 0.5 mm bottom), enabling mechanical and layout compatibility. However, functional differences - notably the absence of POWERVR SGX and reduced L2 cache in AM3703CBCD100 - require firmware and driver validation before substitution in the AM3715CBCD100 design.
