Product details
Overview
OMAP3503ECBBALPD from Texas Instruments is a 720-MHz ARM Cortex-A8 applications processor in a 515-pin s-PBGA (CBB) package, featuring 256-KB L2 cache, 112-KB ROM, 64-KB shared SRAM, and integrated camera ISP, display subsystem, and SDRC for LPDDR memory. It targets portable media players and digital video cameras requiring high-resolution imaging and Linux/Android OS support.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3503ECBBALPD datasheet, OMAP3503ECBBALPD pinout, OMAP3503ECBBALPD application, or OMAP3503ECBBALPD equivalent, key selection criteria include its 720-MHz MPU core frequency, POP-enabled 515-ball CBB package, absence of PowerVR SGX graphics (distinguishing it from OMAP3515), dual DACs for composite video output, and SmartReflex DVFS for adaptive voltage scaling in battery-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The OMAP3503ECBBALPD implements an in-order, dual-issue, superscalar ARMv7 architecture with NEON SIMD coprocessor and TrustZone security extensions. Its memory subsystem includes a 16-KB/16-KB L1 instruction/data cache, SDRAM controller supporting LPDDR, and GPMC for NAND/NOR flash interfacing.
It integrates a dedicated Camera ISP with BT.601/BT.656 interfaces, a three-layer display processor supporting dual LCD panels and RFBI, and two 10-bit DACs for NTSC/PAL analog video output - all operating under a unified SmartReflex power management framework with dynamic voltage and frequency scaling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OMAP3515ECBBALPD | Includes PowerVR SGX 3D graphics accelerator; identical MPU core, cache, memory interfaces, and package | Required for OpenGL ES 2.0-based UIs or 3D gaming; not needed for 2D media playback or industrial HMI | Select OMAP3515ECBBALPD only if hardware-accelerated 3D graphics or OpenVG 1.0 vector rendering is mandatory |
| AM3517BZCNA | Successor device with same ARM Cortex-A8 core but enhanced peripherals: USB 2.0 PHY, improved GPMC, and updated power management | Better long-term supply and extended temperature support; lacks POP interface and some legacy video features | Choose AM3517BZCNA for new designs requiring lifecycle assurance and USB host capability; verify DAC and ISP compatibility |
Compared with OMAP3515ECBBALPD, the OMAP3503ECBBALPD omits PowerVR SGX to reduce cost and power while retaining full imaging and video I/O - making it optimal for cost-sensitive media players. Versus AM3517BZCNA, it offers POP support and legacy video DACs but has shorter projected availability and no integrated USB PHY.

FAQ
What distinguishes OMAP3503ECBBALPD from OMAP3515ECBBALPD?
The OMAP3503ECBBALPD and OMAP3515ECBBALPD share identical ARM Cortex-A8 cores, memory subsystems, and packaging, but OMAP3503ECBBALPD excludes the PowerVR SGX 3D graphics accelerator present in OMAP3515ECBBALPD. This makes OMAP3503ECBBALPD lower-cost and lower-power, optimized for 2D media playback and imaging applications without demanding 3D graphics requirements.
Does OMAP3503ECBBALPD support analog video output?
Yes, OMAP3503ECBBALPD integrates two 10-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) supporting composite NTSC and PAL video output, as well as separate luma/chroma (S-Video) signals. These DACs require external passive RC filters per TI SPRS505H Section 5.4 to meet CVBS spectral mask requirements.
What memory interfaces does OMAP3503ECBBALPD support?
OMAP3503ECBBALPD supports LPDDR SDRAM via its SDRAM Controller (SDRC) with 32-bit data bus and up to 1 GB address space, plus a General Purpose Memory Controller (GPMC) with eight chip-selects for NOR/NAND flash, SRAM, and FPGA interfacing. The CBB package implements all eight GPMC chip-selects except ncs1 and ncs2.
Is OMAP3503ECBBALPD compatible with Android and Linux operating systems?
Yes, OMAP3503ECBBALPD is fully supported by Linux kernel versions 2.6.32+ and Android 2.2 (Froyo) and later. TI provides official BSPs including kernel drivers for its ISP, display subsystem, SDRC, and SmartReflex power management - enabling production deployment of Android-based portable media players and tablets.
What package type and ball pitch does OMAP3503ECBBALPD use?
OMAP3503ECBBALPD uses a 515-pin plastic ball grid array (s-PBGA) package with CBB suffix, featuring 0.5-mm ball pitch on the top side and 0.4-mm ball pitch on the bottom side. This asymmetric pitch enables Package-on-Package (POP) stacking with compatible mobile DDR memory packages.
