Product details
Overview
TMS320DM368ZCEDZ from Texas Instruments is a digital media system-on-chip (DMSoC) integrating an ARM926EJ-S core running at 432 MHz, dual video coprocessors (HDVICP and MJCP), hardware face detection, and a full video processing subsystem. It delivers 1080p30 H.264 encode/decode, supports DDR2/mDDR and NAND flash interfaces, and targets embedded video applications including IP cameras and DVRs.
For engineers reviewing the TMS320DM368ZCEDZ datasheet, TMS320DM368ZCEDZ pinout, TMS320DM368ZCEDZ application, or TMS320DM368ZCEDZ equivalent, key selection criteria include HD video codec offload capability, integrated analog video DACs, 338-pin BGA package compatibility with DM365, and support for BT.656/BT.1120 sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The TMS320DM368ZCEDZ implements a heterogeneous architecture where the ARM926EJ-S core handles OS and application logic while two dedicated coprocessors-HDVICP for H.264/MPEG-4 and MJCP for MJPEG/VC1-execute real-time video compression/decompression independently. Its video front-end (VPFE) accepts 16-bit parallel AFE input up to 120 MHz and supports BT.601/BT.656/BT.1120 YCbCr 4:2:2 formats.
The device integrates a complete video back-end (VPBE) with three 10-bit HD DACs for NTSC/PAL composite output, on-screen display (OSD) engine, and LCD controller. Clocking uses flexible PLLs with reference inputs at 19.2/24/27/36 MHz, and power domains separate 1.35-V core, 1.8-V I/O, and 3.3-V I/O rails.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digital media SoC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TMS320DM365ZCEDZ | Identical 338-pin BGA package, same ARM926EJ-S core and VPSS, but lacks hardware face detection and LDC engines | Suitable for cost-sensitive 720p-only surveillance where advanced analytics are not required | Select when face detection and lens correction are unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized |
| i.MX6SoloX (MCIMX6SX) | ARM Cortex-A9 + Cortex-M4 dual-core, no integrated video coprocessors; relies on GPU/VPU for encode/decode | Better for Linux GUI + real-time control hybrid workloads; requires external codecs or software-based H.264 | Choose when deterministic real-time control (M4) and rich UI (A9) outweigh dedicated video acceleration needs |
Compared with TMS320DM368ZCEDZ, the DM365ZCEDZ offers identical footprint and basic video capability at lower cost but omits analytics accelerators, while the i.MX6SoloX provides broader general-purpose compute and RTOS support but lacks hardware H.264 encode/decode throughput and integrated DACs.

FAQ
What video codecs does the TMS320DM368ZCEDZ support in hardware?
The TMS320DM368ZCEDZ supports H.264 Baseline/Main/High Profile, MPEG-4 Part 2, MPEG-2, MJPEG, JPEG, and VC1/WMV9 codecs via its dual coprocessors (HDVICP and MJCP). All encode and decode operations run independently of the ARM926EJ-S core, enabling full 1080p30 performance without CPU overhead. The TMS320DM368ZCEDZ does not support HEVC or AV1.
Is the TMS320DM368ZCEDZ pin-compatible with other DaVinci processors?
Yes, the TMS320DM368ZCEDZ is pin-to-pin compatible with the TMS320DM365ZCEDZ in the same 338-pin ZCE BGA package. This allows direct PCB reuse and software migration between the two devices. However, the TMS320DM368ZCEDZ adds hardware face detection and lens distortion correction blocks not present in the DM365, requiring updated firmware to leverage those features.
What memory interfaces does the TMS320DM368ZCEDZ provide for external storage?
The TMS320DM368ZCEDZ integrates a 16-bit DDR2/mDDR SDRAM controller supporting up to 256 MB address space, plus an asynchronous EMIF (AEMIF) for 8/16-bit NAND Flash, NOR Flash, OneNAND, SmartMedia, and xD cards. It also includes dual MMC/SD/SDIO controllers for removable media. These interfaces enable boot-from-NAND, high-speed video buffering, and local storage expansion without external glue logic.
Does the TMS320DM368ZCEDZ include analog video output capability?
Yes, the TMS320DM368ZCEDZ integrates three 10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) supporting composite NTSC/PAL video output directly from the chip. These DACs feed an on-chip video encoder, eliminating the need for external video DAC ICs in analog-output designs. The TMS320DM368ZCEDZ also supports digital video output via BT.656, RGB888, and LCD interfaces.
What is the operating temperature range for the TMS320DM368ZCEDZ?
The TMS320DM368ZCEDZ is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, qualified for industrial and extended-temperature environments. This rating applies to the full speed grade (432 MHz) and all integrated peripherals, making it suitable for outdoor surveillance cameras, vehicle-mounted DVRs, and unventilated digital signage enclosures without thermal derating.
