Product details
Overview
OMAP3515ECUSA from Texas Instruments is a high-performance applications processor based on the ARM Cortex-A8 core running at up to 720 MHz, integrated with PowerVR SGX graphics acceleration, 256-KB L2 cache, and dual 10-bit video DACs. It supports HD display output, camera ISP with BT.601/BT.656 interfaces, and runs Linux, Android, and Windows CE - deployed in portable media players and digital video cameras.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3515ECUSA datasheet, OMAP3515ECUSA pinout, OMAP3515ECUSA application, or OMAP3515ECUSA equivalent, key selection considerations include its 423-pin s-PBGA (CUS) package limitations (no POP interface, no discrete memory interface), SmartReflex power management, and absence of USB OTG/TLL support compared to CBB/CBC variants.
Technical Context
The OMAP3515ECUSA implements an ARMv7-compliant Cortex-A8 superscalar microprocessor with NEON SIMD coprocessor, TrustZone security extensions, and Thumb-2 instruction set. Its MPU subsystem includes 16-KB/16-KB L1 instruction/data caches and 256-KB unified L2 cache, enabling deterministic real-time execution for multimedia workloads.
It integrates a dedicated Camera ISP supporting CCD/CMOS sensors via parallel interface and BT.601/BT.656 YCbCr 4:2:2, plus a programmable Display Subsystem with dual LCD panel support, RFBI interface, and NTSC/PAL composite video output through two 10-bit DACs - all operating under adaptive voltage scaling via SmartReflex AVS.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OMAP3515ECBB | 515-pin s-PBGA with POP interface, discrete memory interface, and HSUSB3_TLL support - absent in CUS | Enables stacked memory modules and higher-bandwidth USB peripheral connectivity | Select when board design requires memory-on-package integration or USB OTG host capability |
| OMAP3503ECUS | Omits PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator and one 10-bit DAC; otherwise identical CUS package and pinout | Suitable for cost-sensitive UI-less applications where graphics acceleration is unnecessary | Select when application does not require OpenGL ES rendering or dual analog video output |
Compared with OMAP3515ECBB, OMAP3515ECUSA sacrifices POP stacking and USB TLL for smaller footprint and lower BOM cost; versus OMAP3503ECUS, it adds SGX and second DAC for richer multimedia - making it optimal for mid-tier portable video devices requiring analog video output but not memory stacking.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported SDRAM capacity for OMAP3515ECUSA?
The OMAP3515ECUSA supports up to 1 GB of total SDRAM address space via its 32-bit SDRAM Controller (SDRC), with configurable row/column/bank addressing. This is confirmed in Section 1.1 of SPRS505H and applies identically to the CUS package. The OMAP3515ECUSA achieves this using 15 address bits (A0–A14) and 2 bank bits (BA0–BA1), enabling dense memory configurations essential for Android and video buffering.
Does OMAP3515ECUSA support USB On-The-Go functionality?
No, OMAP3515ECUSA does not support USB OTG. As documented in Table 1-1 of SPRS505H, the CUS package lacks HSUSB3_TLL and MM_FSUSB3 signals - both required for USB OTG physical layer implementation. Engineers must use external USB PHY or select CBB/CBC variants (e.g., OMAP3515ECBB) if OTG functionality is required in the system design.
What video output standards does OMAP3515ECUSA natively support?
OMAP3515ECUSA natively supports NTSC and PAL composite video output via its dual 10-bit DACs (tv_out1/tv_out2), as well as S-video (Y/C separation) and RGB parallel digital output up to 24-bit depth. These capabilities are specified in Sections 1.1 and 5.2 of SPRS505H and do not require external encoders - a key differentiator for cost-sensitive portable video products using the OMAP3515ECUSA.
How many general-purpose I/O pins are available on OMAP3515ECUSA?
The OMAP3515ECUSA provides up to 188 GPIO pins, as stated in Table 1-1 of SPRS505H. However, pin multiplexing restricts simultaneous availability - actual count depends on selected peripheral functions. All 188 GPIOs are physically present in the CUS package, unlike CBB which omits GPIO_112–GPIO_176; this makes OMAP3515ECUSA suitable for designs requiring extensive peripheral control without sacrificing video or camera features.
Is OMAP3515ECUSA compatible with Android operating system?
Yes, OMAP3515ECUSA is officially supported by Android - explicitly listed in Section 1.3 of SPRS505H as a target platform. TI provided Android BSPs and kernel drivers for this device, enabling hardware-accelerated graphics (OpenGL ES 2.0), camera preview (via ISP), and video playback (using PowerVR SGX). Android 2.2–4.0 deployments were validated on OMAP3515ECUSA reference platforms during its production lifecycle.
