Product details
Overview
AM5716AABCXEQ1 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 Cortex-M4 coprocessors (IPU1/IPU2), and hardware-accelerated video processing (VPE). It supports DDR3-1333 memory, 2× Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe Gen2, USB 3.0/2.0 dual-role, and up to 215 GPIOs. Designed for industrial HMI and automation systems requiring real-time vision and control co-processing.
For engineers reviewing the AM5716AABCXEQ1 datasheet, AM5716AABCXEQ1 pinout, AM5716AABCXEQ1 application, or AM5716AABCXEQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-C66x DSP configuration, absence of IVA-HD and HDMI subsystems (vs. AM5718), 512KB on-chip OCMC RAM, 760-pin FCBGA package, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The AM5716AABCXEQ1 implements a heterogeneous architecture with Arm Cortex-A15 for OS-level control and application execution, a dedicated C66x DSP for deterministic signal/vision processing, and dual Cortex-M4 cores for real-time I/O and industrial protocol stacks. Its L3/L4 interconnect enables coherent data movement between MPU, DSP, IPU, PRU-ICSS, and accelerators like BB2D (GC320) and VPE.
Unlike the AM5718, the AM5716AABCXEQ1 omits the IVA-HD video codec engine, HDMI encoder, SGX544 GPU, and second VOUT pipeline - confirmed in Device Comparison Table 3-1. It retains full PRU-ICSS support for industrial Ethernet protocols (EtherCAT, Profinet), dual DCAN, GPMC, and SATA Gen2, making it optimized for deterministic control + edge analytics rather than multimedia rendering.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AM5716AABCXEQ1 uses a 760-ball FCBGA (Fine-Pitch Chip Scale Ball Grid Array) package with 23 mm × 23 mm body size and 0.8-mm ball pitch. The package includes dedicated power/ground balls, configurable I/O banks supporting 1.8V/3.3V IO voltage domains, and thermal vias under the die for enhanced heat dissipation. Unused balls follow TI-specified tie-off rules (e.g., AE15 to GND via pull resistor; E20 to corresponding supply).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VSS / VDD | Power/Ground | Multiple dedicated VDD_CORE, VDD_MPU, VDD_DSP, VDD_GPU (unused), VDDS_DDR, VDDS_IO supply pins - require independent low-ESR decoupling per TI Power Supply Mapping guidelines. |
| AB17 (rtc_porz) | RTC Reset Control | Must connect to VSS when RTC subsystem unused; alternative connection to PORZ requires level translation - ensures safe power-on reset isolation. |
| AF14 (rtc_iso) | RTC Isolation | Pull to corresponding supply (e.g., VDDS_RTC) if RTC used; otherwise tie to PORZ - prevents unintended RTC wake-up during deep sleep. |
| AD14 / AC13 | DDR3 DQ/DQS | High-speed DDR3 data strobe and bidirectional data lines - routed as length-matched differential pairs with controlled impedance (40 Ω ±10%) per TI DDR3 Board Design Guidelines. |
| AG19 / AH19 | PCIe RX/TX | Gen2-compliant differential lanes - require 100 Ω differential impedance, AC coupling capacitors, and strict routing to avoid jitter-induced link training failure. |
| AE22 / AF22 | GPMC AD[0:15] | 16-bit multiplexed address/data bus for NAND/NOR/async SRAM - supports glueless interface with programmable timing registers and ECC logic. |

These features are active in all device variants and do not require High-Security (HS) configuration - unlike debug security and Trusted Execution Environment, which are HS-only.
What package and pin count does AM5716AABCXEQ1 use?
AM5716AABCXEQ1 uses a 760-ball FCBGA package with 23 mm × 23 mm body size and 0.8-mm ball pitch. Pin assignments match the AM5718ABC family, including dedicated power/ground balls, DDR3 interface (AD/DQS/CK), PCIe differential pairs, and configurable I/O banks - verified in TI's SPRS957I datasheet Section 4.1 and Table 4-2.
Can AM5716AABCXEQ1 run Linux and real-time operating systems simultaneously?
Yes, AM5716AABCXEQ1 supports concurrent execution: Linux runs on the Arm Cortex-A15 core for application and UI tasks, while real-time workloads execute on the dual Cortex-M4 coprocessors (IPU1/IPU2) or PRU-ICSS subsystems. This separation is enforced by hardware firewalls and memory management units, enabling deterministic response times for industrial protocols without Linux scheduling jitter affecting control loops.
