Product details
Overview
AM3715CUSD100 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, 256KB L2 cache, and 45-nm CMOS process technology. It supports Linux, Android, and Windows Embedded CE, and targets high-performance embedded applications requiring multimedia processing, display control, and camera interface.
For engineers reviewing the AM3715CUSD100 datasheet, AM3715CUSD100 pinout, AM3715CUSD100 application, or AM3715CUSD100 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 423-pin s-PBGA (CUS) package, dual USB 2.0 subsystems (OTG + multiport host), McSPI/McBSP peripherals, SmartReflex™ power management, and compatibility with OMAP™3 architecture for legacy migration paths.
Technical Context
The AM3715CUSD100 implements an in-order, dual-issue, superscalar ARMv7-A core with TrustZone® security, NEON™ SIMD coprocessor, and 32KB/32KB L1 instruction/data caches. Its memory subsystem includes a 16-bit multiplexed GPMC for NOR/NAND/SRAM and a dedicated SDRAM controller supporting up to 1 GB address space with SMS scheduler and rotation engine.
Graphics acceleration is handled by the tile-based POWERVR SGX engine delivering up to 20 MPoly/sec, with universal scalable shader support for OpenGLES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0. The device integrates a full camera ISP with BT.601/BT.656 8-/10-bit YCbCr 4:2:2 interface, resize engine, and parallel CCD/CMOS imager support.
