FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3715CBP100?
The AM3715CBP100 operates at up to 1 GHz under specified thermal and voltage conditions. This frequency is achieved using adaptive core voltage scaling (0.9–1.2 V) managed by SmartReflex™ AVS. The AM3715CBP100 maintains this performance while supporting multiple OPPs (Operating Performance Points) for dynamic power optimization across varying workloads.
Does the AM3715CBP100 include integrated graphics acceleration?
Yes, the AM3715CBP100 integrates a POWERVR SGX™ graphics accelerator capable of up to 20 MPoly/sec, supporting OpenGLES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0 APIs. This hardware block offloads 3D rendering and video composition from the Cortex-A8 core, enabling smooth UI animation and multi-layer display output - a feature absent in the pin-compatible AM3703CBP100 variant.
What package type does the AM3715CBP100 use, and is it POP-compatible?
The AM3715CBP100 uses a 515-pin s-PBGA package with suffix CBP, featuring 0.5-mm ball pitch on the top layer and 0.4-mm on the bottom layer. This asymmetric pitch design is explicitly intended for Package-on-Package (POP) memory stacking, allowing LPDDR/DDR2 memory to be mounted directly atop the processor for space-constrained designs.
Which real-time operating systems are supported on the AM3715CBP100?
The AM3715CBP100 supports Linux (including TI's Linux SDK), Android, and Windows Embedded CE - all available free of charge from Texas Instruments. Its ARMv7-A architecture with TrustZone® and MMU enhancements also enables deployment of commercial RTOSes such as QNX Neutrino and Green Hills INTEGRITY, provided board support packages are developed.
How does the AM3715CBP100 handle camera sensor interfaces?
The AM3715CBP100 features a dedicated Camera Image Signal Processor (ISP) with parallel interface support for CCD/CMOS sensors, BT.601/BT.656 digital YCbCr 4:2:2 (8-/10-bit) input, and hardware resize (1/4x to 4x). It includes dedicated pins like CAM_PCLK, CAM_HSYNC, CAM_VSYNC, and 12-bit parallel data lines (CAM_D0–D11), enabling direct glueless connection to common image sensors without FPGA bridging.
