Product details
Overview
OMAP3515DCBB from Texas Instruments is a 720-MHz ARM Cortex-A8 applications processor with PowerVR SGX graphics acceleration, 256-KB L2 cache, and integrated display subsystem supporting HD resolution and dual LCD panels. It features 188 GPIO pins, SmartReflex adaptive voltage scaling, and interfaces including USB OTG/Host, MMC/SDIO, McSPI, I²C, UART, and camera ISP - deployed in portable media players and digital video cameras.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3515DCBB datasheet, OMAP3515DCBB pinout, OMAP3515DCBB application, or OMAP3515DCBB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 515-pin s-PBGA (CBB) package with POP support, 0.985–1.35-V adaptive core voltage, dual-display capability, and absence of discrete memory interface - critical for embedded HLOS designs requiring graphics-rich UI and low-power operation.
Technical Context
The OMAP3515DCBB implements an in-order, dual-issue, superscalar ARMv7 architecture with NEON SIMD coprocessor and TrustZone security extensions. Its MPU subsystem integrates 16-KB instruction and 16-KB data L1 caches, while the PowerVR SGX graphics engine delivers up to 10 MPoly/sec with OpenGLES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0 API support.
It includes a dedicated Camera ISP supporting BT.601/BT.656, CCD/CMOS sensors, and hardware resize (1/4× to 4×); a dual-output display subsystem with RFBI, RGB, and analog video DACs; and system-level power management via SmartReflex AVS, DVFS, and multiple clock domains managed by PRCM.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the OMAP3515DCBB?
The OMAP3515DCBB operates at up to 720 MHz on its ARM Cortex-A8 core. This frequency is achieved under specified thermal and voltage conditions per the SPRS505H datasheet, with SmartReflex AVS enabling dynamic adjustment to maintain stability across process/voltage/temperature variations. The actual sustained frequency depends on thermal design and power delivery integrity in the end application.
Does the OMAP3515DCBB support dual-display output?
Yes, the OMAP3515DCBB supports dual-display output via its integrated display subsystem. It can drive two independent panels simultaneously - one through RGB interface (up to 24-bit) and another via RFBI - with separate timing control, layer composition, and resolution scaling. This capability is confirmed in Section 1.1 and Figure 1-1 of the OMAP3515DCBB datasheet.
What graphics acceleration does the OMAP3515DCBB provide?
The OMAP3515DCBB integrates a PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator delivering up to 10 MPoly/sec. It supports OpenGLES 1.1 and 2.0, OpenVG 1.0, and features a universal scalable shader engine with pixel and vertex shader functionality - enabling hardware-accelerated 3D UI, gaming, and video post-processing not present in the OMAP3503DCBB variant.
Is the OMAP3515DCBB pin-compatible with the OMAP3503DCBB?
Yes, the OMAP3515DCBB and OMAP3503DCBB share identical 515-pin s-PBGA (CBB) packaging, ball map, and electrical characteristics. They differ only in internal silicon - the OMAP3515DCBB includes PowerVR SGX graphics while the OMAP3503DCBB omits it. PCB layouts designed for OMAP3515DCBB can accommodate OMAP3503DCBB without modification.
What camera interfaces does the OMAP3515DCBB support?
The OMAP3515DCBB supports parallel CCD/CMOS image sensors via its integrated Camera ISP, with native BT.601 (8-bit) and BT.656 (10-bit) YCbCr 4:2:2 digital video interfaces. It also provides hardware image pipeline functions including resize (1/4× to 4×), color space conversion, and temporal dithering - all documented in Sections 1.1 and 1.3 of the OMAP3515DCBB datasheet.
