Product details
Overview
OMAP3530DCBC from Texas Instruments is a high-performance applications processor integrating an ARM Cortex-A8 core (up to 720 MHz), a TMS320C64x+ DSP core (up to 520 MHz), and a PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator - all in a single 515-pin s-PBGA package with 0.5-mm top / 0.4-mm bottom ball pitch. It delivers hardware-accelerated video decode/encode (IVA2.2), 3D graphics, camera ISP, and dual-display support for portable media and navigation systems.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3530DCBC datasheet, OMAP3530DCBC pinout, OMAP3530DCBC application, or OMAP3530DCBC equivalent, key selection considerations include its discrete memory interface (supported in CBC package), SmartReflex™ adaptive voltage scaling, 188 GPIOs with flexible muxing, and compatibility with Linux®, Android™, and Windows® CE operating systems.
Technical Context
The OMAP3530DCBC implements a heterogeneous dual-core architecture: the ARM Cortex-A8 handles general-purpose OS execution and application logic, while the C64x+ DSP offloads intensive signal processing tasks including video encode/decode, audio codecs, and image enhancement. The IVA2.2 subsystem integrates dedicated hardware accelerators for H.264, MPEG-4, and VC-1.
Its memory subsystem includes 256-KB L2 cache, 64-KB on-chip SRAM, 112-KB ROM, and interfaces to LPDDR SDRAM via SDRC with SMS rotation engine. The display subsystem supports parallel RGB, RFBI, and analog TV output (NTSC/PAL) with programmable timing and temporal dithering.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OMAP3530CBB | Same die, 515-pin s-PBGA with 0.65-mm top / 0.5-mm bottom pitch - supports POP stacking but lacks discrete memory interface (no gpmc_ncs1/2, gpmc_wait1/2). | Targeted at memory-stacked modules where PCB area is constrained; unsuitable for designs requiring direct NAND/NOR attachment. | Select OMAP3530CBB only when using TI-approved POP memory stacks and no discrete flash/SRAM interface is needed. |
| OMAP3525DCBC | Same package and pinout, but omits PowerVR SGX GPU - retains ARM/DSP/ISP/display subsystems and identical memory/peripheral interfaces. | Cost-sensitive applications requiring video/audio processing and display but no 3D graphics acceleration (e.g., basic PNDs, industrial HMIs). | Choose OMAP3525DCBC when 3D UI is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over GPU-dependent features. |
Compared with OMAP3530CBB, OMAP3530DCBC enables discrete memory routing critical for custom flash architectures; compared with OMAP3525DCBC, it adds PowerVR SGX for OpenGL ES 2.0-compliant UI rendering - making it essential for consumer-facing tablets and gaming-capable devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ARM Cortex-A8 core in OMAP3530DCBC?
The OMAP3530DCBC ARM Cortex-A8 core operates at up to 720 MHz under recommended conditions. This frequency is achieved with adaptive core voltage (0.985–1.35 V) managed by SmartReflex™ AVS. The actual sustained frequency depends on thermal design and power delivery stability - TI specifies OPP (Operating Performance Point) profiles in the SPRS507H datasheet Section 3.3.
Does OMAP3530DCBC support Android operating system?
Yes, OMAP3530DCBC is officially supported by Android - explicitly listed in Section 1.3 of the SPRS507H datasheet as a target platform. TI provided Android BSPs (Board Support Packages) and kernel drivers for display, camera, audio, and power management subsystems, enabling commercial Android 2.x deployments in tablets and media players.
What memory types does OMAP3530DCBC interface with natively?
OMAP3530DCBC natively interfaces with LPDDR SDRAM via its SDRC controller, and with NOR flash, NAND flash (with Hamming ECC), SRAM, and pseudo-SRAM via its GPMC. The CBC package supports all eight GPMC chip-selects and four wait inputs, enabling multi-device memory expansion without glue logic.
How many general-purpose I/O pins does OMAP3530DCBC provide?
OMAP3530DCBC supports up to 188 general-purpose I/O pins, as confirmed in Table 1-1 of the SPRS507H datasheet. These pins are multiplexed with peripheral functions (UART, McBSP, McSPI, etc.), and the total usable count depends on pinmux configuration - detailed in Section 2.4 "Multiplexing Characteristics (CBC Pkg.)".
Is the PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator present in all OMAP3530 variants?
Yes, the PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator is a defining feature of the OMAP3530 device family - including OMAP3530DCBC - and is absent only in the OMAP3525 variant. The SPRS507H datasheet explicitly states "PowerVR® SGX™ Graphics Accelerator (OMAP3530 Device Only)" in Section 1.1 Features and Functional Block Diagram.
