Product details
Overview
OMAP3530DCUS from Texas Instruments is a high-performance applications processor integrating an up to 720-MHz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU core, a 520-MHz TMS320C64x+ DSP core, and a PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator - enabling concurrent video decode, 3D rendering, and real-time image processing in portable media players and digital video cameras.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3530DCUS datasheet, OMAP3530DCUS pinout, OMAP3530DCUS application, or OMAP3530DCUS equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, confirmed feature set (including IVA2.2 subsystem and SmartReflex power management), and validated alternative options for embedded system design and migration planning.
Technical Context
The OMAP3530DCUS implements a heterogeneous dual-core architecture: the ARM Cortex-A8 handles OS execution (Linux, Android, Windows CE) and application logic, while the C64x+ DSP offloads intensive signal processing tasks including video encode/decode, audio codecs, and ISP pipeline operations. Both cores share 256-KB L2 cache and access unified memory via L3/L4 interconnects.
Its IVA2.2 subsystem integrates dedicated hardware accelerators for H.264/MPEG-4 decode, JPEG encode/decode, and camera image signal processing (CCD/CMOS interface, BT.601/BT.656 support). The PowerVR SGX GPU supports OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0 for UI rendering and 2D/3D graphics - exclusive to OMAP3530 (not OMAP3525).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
OMAP3530DCUS uses a 423-ball s-PBGA package (CUS suffix) with 0.65-mm ball pitch. Unlike CBB/CBC variants, it lacks POP interface, HSUSB3_TLL, MM_FSUSB3, and two GPMC chip-selects (gpmc_ncs1/ncs2) and wait pins (gpmc_wait1/wait2). Pin assignments follow TI's SPRS507H datasheet Table 2-3 (Ball Characteristics, CUS Pkg.).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OMAP3525DCUS | No PowerVR SGX GPU; identical CPU/DSP/ISP/memory subsystems and CUS package. | Lacks 3D graphics acceleration - unsuitable for OpenGL ES-based UI or gaming; suitable for video-only or headless applications. | Select when 3D rendering is unnecessary and cost reduction is prioritized over graphical capability. |
| AM3517BZCNA | ARM Cortex-A8 only (no C64x+ DSP); same 65-nm process, 423-pin s-PBGA, and peripheral set; adds Ethernet MAC. | Removes DSP offload capability - requires CPU-based video processing; adds 10/100 Ethernet for networked industrial gateways. | Select for Linux-based gateway applications needing Ethernet but not DSP-accelerated media processing. |
Compared with OMAP3530DCUS, OMAP3525DCUS removes the PowerVR SGX GPU to reduce cost and power, while AM3517BZCNA replaces the DSP with an integrated Ethernet MAC - both retain the same CUS package and ARM Cortex-A8 core, making them drop-in replacements only for non-GPU and non-DSP-dependent designs.

FAQ
What operating systems are officially supported on OMAP3530DCUS?
OMAP3530DCUS officially supports Linux (2.6.x kernel), Android (versions 2.0–2.3), and Windows CE 6.0. TI provides Board Support Packages (BSPs), graphics drivers (SGX DDK), and multimedia frameworks (IVA-HD) for all three. Android support was added in the October 2013 revision of the SPRS507H datasheet.
Does OMAP3530DCUS include a PowerVR SGX GPU?
Yes, OMAP3530DCUS includes the PowerVR SGX530 graphics accelerator, delivering up to 10 MPoly/sec and full OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0 API support. This GPU is absent in the OMAP3525DCUS variant - a key differentiator confirmed in TI's SPRS507H datasheet Section 1.3.
What memory interfaces does OMAP3530DCUS support?
OMAP3530DCUS supports SDRAM via its SDRC (16-/32-bit, LPDDR-compatible) and asynchronous memories via GPMC (NOR/NAND flash with Hamming ECC, SRAM, pseudo-SRAM). It does not support DDR2 directly - LPDDR is the intended low-power DRAM interface per TI's recommended operating conditions.
Is OMAP3530DCUS pin-compatible with OMAP3525DCUS?
Yes, OMAP3530DCUS and OMAP3525DCUS share identical 423-pin s-PBGA (CUS) packages, pin assignments, and electrical characteristics. They differ only in internal silicon - OMAP3530DCUS includes the PowerVR SGX GPU, while OMAP3525DCUS omits it. Hardware designs can swap them without PCB changes.
What power management features are implemented in OMAP3530DCUS?
OMAP3530DCUS implements SmartReflex AVS (Adaptive Voltage Scaling) with real-time monitoring of process, voltage, and temperature to dynamically adjust core voltage (0.985–1.35 V). It also supports Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) and ultralow-power standby modes - all documented in SPRS507H Section 1.1 and Section 3.5.
