Product details
Overview
AM5718AABCXEA from Texas Instruments is a high-performance Sitara™ Arm® applications processor integrating a single-core Cortex®-A15 CPU, dual C66x DSP cores, dual Cortex®-M4 coprocessors (IPU1/IPU2), IVA-HD video subsystem supporting 4K@15fps H.264 encode/decode, and PowerVR® SGX544 3D GPU - deployed in industrial HMIs, automation gateways, and embedded vision systems requiring heterogeneous compute and real-time I/O.
For engineers reviewing the AM5718AABCXEA datasheet, AM5718AABCXEA pinout, AM5718AABCXEA application, or AM5718AABCXEA equivalent, key selection criteria include DDR3-1333 support (667 MHz), 760-pin FCBGA package with 23 mm × 23 mm body, 215 GPIOs, dual PRU-ICSS for industrial Ethernet protocols, and hardware-accelerated cryptographic engines (AES-128/192/256, SHA2-224/256/384/512).
Technical Context
The AM5718AABCXEA implements a multi-domain architecture with Level 3/Level 4 interconnects enabling coherent data movement between MPU, DSP, IPU, GPU, and accelerators like BB2D (Vivante GC320) and VPE. Its IVA-HD subsystem delivers full-HD (1920×1080p60) display output via HDMI 1.4a/DVI 1.0 and supports up to four multiplexed camera inputs through VIP and CSI-2 interfaces.
Security is enforced at silicon level via hardware root-of-trust, customer-programmable eFuses (Silicon Revision 2.1), secure boot, TrustZone®-based TEE, and dedicated cryptographic acceleration blocks with DMA support - all validated under AEC-Q100 for automotive-grade reliability.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar heterogeneous processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM5728AABCXEA | Same package and pinout; adds second C66x DSP core and doubles L3 RAM to 1 MB - higher compute density but no IVA-HD video acceleration. | Preferred for DSP-heavy radar or motor control where video is absent; unsuitable for HDMI display or 4K encode use cases. | Select AM5728AABCXEA only when additional DSP throughput outweighs loss of IVA-HD and SGX544 GPU. |
| AM6548AABCXEA | Newer 16nm process; replaces C66x with dual Cortex-R5F real-time cores; adds PCIe Gen3, USB 3.1, and enhanced safety features (ISO 26262 ASIL-B ready). | Targeted at automotive ADAS and functional-safety-critical systems; lacks IVA-HD and SGX544, replacing them with vision preprocessing accelerators. | Choose AM6548AABCXEA for next-gen automotive or safety-certified industrial controllers requiring ASIL-B compliance. |
Compared with AM5718AABCXEA, AM5728AABCXEA trades video acceleration for extra DSP compute, while AM6548AABCXEA shifts toward safety-critical real-time control with newer IP and process node - neither offers drop-in replacement due to architectural divergence in video, security, and accelerator blocks.

FAQ
What is the maximum DDR3 speed supported by the AM5718AABCXEA?
The AM5718AABCXEA supports DDR3-1333 (667 MHz) operation with up to 2 GB capacity across a single chip select. This is specified in the External Memory Interface (EMIF) module section of the datasheet (SPRS957I Section 1.1 and Table 5-10). The AM5718AABCXEA achieves this speed using calibrated on-die termination and dynamic voltage/frequency scaling across OPP_HIGH and OPP_NOM operating points.
Does the AM5718AABCXEA include hardware cryptographic acceleration?
Yes, the AM5718AABCXEA integrates dedicated cryptographic acceleration blocks supporting AES-128/192/256, 3DES, MD5, SHA1, SHA2-224/256/384/512, and a true random number generator (TRNG), all with DMA support. These features are active in all AM5718AABCXEA variants and documented in Section 1.1 Features and Section 5.7 Electrical Characteristics of SPRS957I.
What video output interfaces does the AM5718AABCXEA support?
The AM5718AABCXEA supports HDMI 1.4a and DVI 1.0 compliant output via its integrated HDMI encoder, plus three independent video pipelines driving LCD1/LCD2/LCD3 outputs. It delivers full-HD (1920×1080p60) resolution and supports multiple simultaneous displays - confirmed in the Display Subsystem description (Section 1.1) and Figure 1-1 block diagram of SPRS957I.
Is the AM5718AABCXEA pin-compatible with other AM571x variants like AM5716AABCXEA?
No, the AM5718AABCXEA is not pin-compatible with AM5716AABCXEA despite sharing the same 760-ball FCBGA package. The AM5716 omits key peripherals including HDMI, IVA-HD, SGX544 GPU, and one C66x DSP core - resulting in different ball functionality mappings and power rail requirements, as detailed in Table 3-1 Device Comparison of SPRS957I.
What is the thermal design power (TDP) range for the AM5718AABCXEA?
The AM5718AABCXEA has a typical power consumption of 5–8 W depending on OPP configuration (OPP_NOM to OPP_HIGH), with peak transient power reaching ~10 W during sustained 1.5 GHz CPU + DSP + GPU operation. Thermal characteristics are defined in Section 5.9 of SPRS957I, specifying ΨJT = 1.2°C/W and recommended PCB thermal vias under the package for junction temperature control.
