Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar application processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM3703CUS100 | No POWERVR SGX graphics accelerator; identical CPU, memory subsystem, and peripheral set | Suitable for non-graphics-intensive applications like control-only HMIs or data concentrators | Select when graphics acceleration is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| AM3358BZCZ100 | ARM Cortex-A8 at 1 GHz, no SGX, PRU-ICSS for real-time I/O, different pinout and memory controller | Better suited for industrial protocol gateways (EtherCAT, PROFIBUS) due to programmable real-time units | Choose for deterministic low-latency I/O control where PRU offload outweighs GPU needs |
Compared with AM3703CUS100, AM3715CUS100 adds 20 MPoly/sec graphics throughput for UI acceleration; versus AM3358BZCZ100, it offers superior multimedia IP but lacks PRU-based real-time peripherals-making it optimal for rich-media edge devices rather than protocol-concentrator roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the AM3715CUS100?
The AM3715CUS100 operates at up to 1 GHz under adaptive voltage scaling (0.9–1.2 V core). This frequency is validated across the extended temperature range (−40°C to +105°C) and supports real-time execution of Linux, Android, and multimedia workloads without throttling in properly cooled designs.
Does the AM3715CUS100 include a graphics accelerator?
Yes, the AM3715CUS100 integrates a POWERVR SGX graphics accelerator capable of 20 MPoly/sec, supporting OpenGLES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0. This hardware block is absent in the pin-compatible AM3703CUS100 variant and enables accelerated UI rendering, 3D navigation, and video compositing in the AM3715CUS100.
What package type does the AM3715CUS100 use?
The AM3715CUS100 uses a 423-ball s-PBGA package with 0.65 mm ball pitch (CUS suffix). This package is distinct from the 515-ball CBP/CBC variants and is optimized for thermal performance and board area efficiency in space-constrained industrial and automotive applications.
Which camera interfaces are supported by the AM3715CUS100?
The AM3715CUS100 supports parallel camera interfaces compliant with BT.601 and BT.656 standards, including dedicated pins for cam_pclk, cam_hs, cam_vs, cam_fld, and 12-bit data lines (cam_d0–cam_d11). Its integrated ISP performs hardware resize, color space conversion, and YCbCr 4:2:2 processing without CPU intervention.
Is the AM3715CUS100 compatible with Linux and Android operating systems?
Yes, the AM3715CUS100 is fully supported by TI's Linux SDK and Android BSP, both available free of charge. Its ARMv7 architecture, MMU, and 256 KB L2 cache meet the requirements for full-featured OS execution, and TI provides validated kernel drivers for all major peripherals including GPMC, DSS, and McBSP.
