Product details
Overview
OMAP3515DCUS from Texas Instruments is a 720-MHz ARM Cortex-A8 applications processor with PowerVR SGX graphics acceleration, 256-KB L2 cache, and integrated display, camera, USB, and multimedia interfaces. It targets portable media players, digital video cameras, and web tablets requiring high-performance video decode, 2D/3D graphics, and real-time image processing.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3515DCUS datasheet, OMAP3515DCUS pinout, OMAP3515DCUS application, or OMAP3515DCUS equivalent, key selection factors include its 423-pin s-PBGA (CUS) package limitations-no POP interface, no discrete memory interface, reduced GPMC chip-selects (6 vs. 8), and absence of HSUSB3_TLL and MM_FSUSB3 support compared to CBB/CBC variants.
Technical Context
The OMAP3515DCUS implements an in-order, dual-issue, superscalar ARMv7 architecture core with NEON SIMD coprocessor and TrustZone security extensions. Its memory subsystem includes 16-KB/16-KB L1 instruction/data caches, 256-KB unified L2 cache, and a 32-bit SDRAM controller supporting LPDDR up to 1 GB address space.
Graphics acceleration is delivered via the PowerVR SGX subsystem (exclusive to OMAP3515 family), supporting OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0 with tile-based rendering at up to 10 MPoly/sec. The display subsystem provides dual-panel RGB output, RFBI interface, NTSC/PAL DACs, and hardware rotation/resizing (1/4x–4x).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OMAP3515CBB | 515-pin s-PBGA with POP interface, full GPMC (8 chip-selects), HSUSB3_TLL, and discrete memory interface support | Required for designs needing stacked memory, NAND boot, or multi-chip Flash/SRAM expansion | Select CBB when memory scalability and interface flexibility outweigh size constraints |
| OMAP3503DCUS | Same CUS package but lacks PowerVR SGX graphics engine and has reduced peripheral set (no USB OTG, fewer timers/GPIO) | Suitable for cost-sensitive UI-less applications like industrial HMIs or basic media players without 3D graphics | Choose OMAP3503DCUS only if graphics acceleration and USB OTG are unnecessary |
Compared with OMAP3515CBB, OMAP3515DCUS trades POP stacking, full GPMC, and HSUSB3_TLL for smaller footprint and lower BOM cost; versus OMAP3503DCUS, it adds PowerVR SGX, USB OTG, and enhanced timer/GPIO count - making it the only CUS-packaged variant with full multimedia capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the OMAP3515DCUS?
The OMAP3515DCUS operates at up to 720 MHz on its ARM Cortex-A8 core. This frequency is validated under commercial temperature conditions with SmartReflex-enabled adaptive voltage scaling. The device supports multiple OPP (Operating Performance Points) to balance performance and power, and actual sustained clock speed depends on thermal design, voltage regulation, and workload characteristics. OMAP3515DCUS does not support overclocking beyond its rated specification.
Does the OMAP3515DCUS include PowerVR SGX graphics acceleration?
Yes, the OMAP3515DCUS includes the PowerVR SGX graphics subsystem, which is exclusive to the OMAP3515 family (not present in OMAP3503). It supports OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0, delivering up to 10 MPoly/sec for UI rendering and 2D/3D graphics acceleration. This capability is fully functional in the CUS package and does not require external GPU components.
How many GPIO pins are available on the OMAP3515DCUS?
The OMAP3515DCUS supports up to 188 GPIO pins, consistent with other OMAP3515/3503 packages. However, pin multiplexing restricts simultaneous availability - actual usable GPIO count depends on active peripheral configurations (e.g., enabling UART3 reduces available GPIO by 4 pins). Full allocation details are specified in Table 2-4 (Multiplexing Characteristics) of the SPRS505H datasheet.
What display interfaces does the OMAP3515DCUS support?
The OMAP3515DCUS supports parallel 24-bit RGB output, Remote Frame Buffer Interface (RFBI) for Sharp-type panels, and dual DAC outputs for NTSC/PAL composite video. It does not support HDMI or LVDS natively - those require external SerDes or bridge ICs. The display subsystem handles hardware rotation (90°/180°/270°), resizing (1/4x–4x), and alpha blending, enabling rich UI composition without CPU intervention.
Is the OMAP3515DCUS pin-compatible with OMAP3515CBB or OMAP3515CBC?
No, the OMAP3515DCUS is not pin-compatible with OMAP3515CBB or OMAP3515CBC. It uses a 423-ball s-PBGA (CUS) package versus 515-ball s-PBGA for CBB/CBC. Key differences include missing POP interface balls, reduced GPMC signals (e.g., gpmc_ncs1/2 and gpmc_wait1/2 omitted), and absence of HSUSB3_TLL pins. PCB redesign is required when migrating between CUS and CBB/CBC packages.
