Product details
Overview
AM5716AABCD from Texas Instruments is a high-performance Sitara™ Arm® applications processor featuring a single-core Arm® Cortex®-A15 CPU, one C66x VLIW DSP core, dual Arm® Cortex®-M4 coprocessors (IPU1/IPU2), 512KB on-chip L3 RAM, and DDR3/DDR3L EMIF supporting up to DDR3-1333. It targets industrial HMI, automation control, and embedded vision systems requiring heterogeneous compute, real-time I/O, and secure boot.
For engineers reviewing the AM5716AABCD datasheet, AM5716AABCD pinout, AM5716AABCD application, or AM5716AABCD equivalent, key selection criteria include confirmed silicon revision 2.1 support, absence of IVA-HD and HDMI subsystems (vs. AM5718), verified 760-pin FCBGA package with 23 mm × 23 mm body, and functional validation of PRU-ICSS, PCIe Gen2, DCAN, and dual-Gigabit Ethernet switch interfaces.
Technical Context
The AM5716AABCD implements a heterogeneous architecture with tightly coupled interconnects (L3/L4), enabling concurrent execution across MPU, DSP, and M4 coprocessors. Its memory subsystem includes 512KB OCMC_RAM with ECC, DDR3-1333 EMIF (up to 2GB), and GPMC for NAND/NOR/async memory expansion.
Peripheral integration centers on deterministic real-time I/O: two PRU-ICSS subsystems for industrial protocol offload (EtherCAT®, Profinet), dual DCAN modules compliant with CAN 2.0B, and a 2-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with MII/RMII/RGMII support - all coordinated via EDMA and system DMA controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Single Arm® Cortex®-A15 @ up to 1.5 GHz - provides Linux-capable application processing with Neon™ acceleration. |
| DSP Core | One C66x floating-point VLIW DSP - delivers 32× 16-bit fixed-point multiplies/cycle for vision/audio algorithms. | On-Chip RAM | 512KB OCMC_RAM with ECC - low-latency, error-corrected memory for critical firmware or real-time buffers. |
| External Memory | DDR3/DDR3L EMIF supporting DDR3-1333 (667 MHz) across single chip select up to 2GB - enables high-bandwidth system memory. |

Pinout & Package
AM5716AABCD uses a 760-ball FCBGA package (23 mm × 23 mm, 0.8-mm pitch) with defined ball assignments per TI SPRS957I Rev I. Unused balls follow strict tie-off rules: AE15/AC15 require GND pull resistors; E20/D21 require power-supply pull resistors; K14 (vpp) must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSS / VDD_CORE / VDD_MPU | Power/Ground | Dedicated power domains for MPU core, real-time subsystems, and I/O banks - requires independent decoupling per TI layout guidelines. |
| DDR_CLK / DDR_DQ[0:15] / DDR_DM | DDR3 Interface | Controlled-impedance 32-bit DDR3 bus with DQS strobes and DM masking - supports 667 MHz operation with on-die termination calibration. |
| GPMC_AD[0:15] / GPMC_OE / GPMC_WE | General-Purpose Memory | 16-bit async bus for NAND/NOR/ROM interfacing - configurable timing with wait-state support for legacy industrial peripherals. |
| PRU0_R30 / PRU1_R30 | PRU-ICSS GPIO | Dedicated real-time I/O pins for PRU firmware - enable bit-banged industrial protocols (e.g., Sercos III, POWERLINK) without CPU intervention. |
| DCAN1_TX / DCAN1_RX | CAN Bus Interface | Differential CAN 2.0B transceiver interface - supports 1 Mbps operation with internal loopback and bus-off recovery. |
| GMII1_TXD[0:7] / GMII1_RXD[0:7] | Gigabit Ethernet | 8-bit GMII interface for first Ethernet port - connects directly to external PHY or integrated switch with RGMII/MII mode flexibility. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar heterogeneous processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM5718ABC | Includes IVA-HD subsystem (4K encode/decode), HDMI 1.4a encoder, SGX544 GPU, and second C66x DSP core - higher compute density but larger thermal envelope. | Required for HMI with local video playback or 4K streaming; not suitable where cost, power, or security certification restrict GPU/IVA usage. | Select AM5718ABC only if HDMI output, dual DSP, or 4K video acceleration is mandatory - AM5716AABCD reduces BOM cost and simplifies thermal design when those features are unused. |
| AM6548AABHA | ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core (1.1 GHz), no C66x DSP, enhanced PRU-ICSS with 100 Mbps Ethernet MACs, and functional safety compliance (ISO 26262 ASIL-B ready). | Better suited for automotive ADAS domain controllers or safety-critical PLCs where deterministic PRU timing and ASIL-B certification outweigh raw DSP performance. | Choose AM6548AABHA for safety-certified designs or when ARM-only software ecosystem (e.g., AUTOSAR) is preferred over C66x toolchain - AM5716AABCD retains legacy DSP algorithm compatibility and higher single-thread throughput. |
Compared with AM5718ABC, AM5716AABCD removes HDMI, IVA-HD, and GPU to lower cost and power while retaining identical PRU-ICSS, DCAN, and Ethernet capabilities; versus AM6548AABHA, it offers superior DSP compute for vision/audio but lacks functional safety qualification and modern A53 efficiency.

FAQ
What is the silicon revision of AM5716AABCD and why does it matter?
The AM5716AABCD is qualified for Silicon Revision 2.1, which adds critical security enhancements including customer-programmable eFuses for secure boot keys, takeover protection, and anti-rollback enforcement. This revision also defines updated VPP specifications for OTP programming and clarifies debug security behavior - essential for industrial firmware certification and long-term trust anchor management in deployed AM5716AABCD systems.
Does AM5716AABCD support HDMI or 4K video encoding?
No, AM5716AABCD does not support HDMI output or 4K video encoding. Unlike the AM5718, the AM5716AABCD omits the IVA-HD subsystem and HDMI 1.4a encoder. Its video capability is limited to VIP input capture (up to four multiplexed ports) and VPE-based preprocessing - sufficient for 1080p machine vision but not for display output or high-resolution codec acceleration. This distinction is explicitly documented in TI's device comparison table.
How many PRU-ICSS subsystems does AM5716AABCD include and what are their roles?
AM5716AABCD includes two fully independent Programmable Real-Time Unit and Industrial Communication Subsystems (PRU-ICSS1 and PRU-ICSS2). Each provides dual 32-bit RISC cores with direct access to 12 KB of shared RAM, GPIO, and peripheral interfaces - enabling hardware-accelerated implementation of industrial protocols like EtherCAT®, PROFINET, and Ethernet/IP without CPU intervention. Both PRU-ICSS units are functionally identical and fully supported in AM5716AABCD silicon revision 2.1.
What DDR3 memory configurations are validated for AM5716AABCD?
AM5716AABCD supports DDR3-1333 (667 MHz) operation across a single chip select, with validated configurations up to 2 GB using x16 or x32 devices. TI specifies supported DDR3 device combinations in Table 8-4 of SPRS957I, including Micron MT41K256M16TW-107 and Samsung K4B4G1646E-BYMA. ECC support requires external DDR3 devices with spare bits and proper layout adherence to TI's DDR3 board design guidelines.
Is AM5716AABCD pin-compatible with AM5718ABC?
Yes, AM5716AABCD is pin-compatible with AM5718ABC in the 760-pin FCBGA package (23 mm × 23 mm, 0.8-mm pitch), sharing identical ball mapping, power sequencing, and thermal pad layout. However, functional differences exist: AM5716AABCD disables HDMI, IVA-HD, SGX544 GPU, and second C66x DSP - these pins retain defined reset states but must not be used. Board reuse is possible with firmware and power delivery adjustments per TI's device comparison guidance.
