Product details
Overview
OMAP3530DCUS72 from Texas Instruments is a 720-MHz ARM Cortex-A8 + 520-MHz C64x+ DSP applications processor in a 423-pin s-PBGA (CUS) package, integrating PowerVR SGX graphics acceleration, video hardware accelerators, and camera ISP for embedded multimedia systems. It delivers up to 10 MPoly/sec 3D rendering, supports Linux/Android/Windows CE, and targets portable media players and digital video cameras.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3530DCUS72 datasheet, OMAP3530DCUS72 pinout, OMAP3530DCUS72 application, or OMAP3530DCUS72 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for industrial and consumer multimedia SoC selection.
Technical Context
The OMAP3530DCUS72 implements a dual-core heterogeneous architecture: an ARM Cortex-A8 microprocessor subsystem with NEON SIMD and MMU enhancements, paired with an IVA2.2 subsystem featuring a TMS320C64x+ DSP core, 32KB L1P/80KB L1D RAM, and 256KB L2 cache. It includes dedicated hardware accelerators for video decode/encode, image processing, and 3D graphics via PowerVR SGX.
Its system-level design supports high-bandwidth interconnects (L3/L4), SmartReflex adaptive voltage scaling, and discrete memory interface (no POP support in CUS package). The device operates at 0.985–1.35 V core voltage, 1.8 V I/O, and integrates dual USB OTG/host, three MMC/SDIO, five McBSP, four McSPI, and three UART interfaces - all mapped to its 423-ball s-PBGA footprint.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
OMAP3530DCUS72 uses a 423-ball s-PBGA package (CUS suffix) with 0.65-mm ball pitch. Unlike CBB/CBC variants, it lacks POP interface and certain GPMC signals (gpmc_ncs1/ncs2, gpmc_wait1/wait2), and supports only 170 GPIOs due to pin muxing constraints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| sdrc_d0–sdrc_d31 | SDRAM Data Bus | 32-bit bidirectional data path for LPDDR/SDRAM; requires matched trace lengths and termination for signal integrity. |
| sdrc_a0–sdrc_a14, sdrc_ba0–ba1 | SDRAM Address & Bank Select | 16-bit address + 2-bit bank select for up to 1 GB memory space; timing-critical for memory initialization. |
| gpmc_nwe, gpmc_noe, gpmc_ncs0 | GPMC Control Signals | Enable asynchronous interface to NOR/NAND flash, SRAM, or FPGA; gpmc_ncs0 is primary chip-select (others limited in CUS). |
| dss_data0–dss_data23, dss_hsync, dss_vsync | Display Subsystem Parallel Output | 24-bit RGB + sync signals for direct LCD panel drive; supports dual-panel and RFBI interfaces. |
| hsusb0_data0–data7, hsusb0_clk, hsusb0_stp | High-Speed USB 2.0 PHY Interface | 8-bit ULPI-compliant transceiver interface - eliminates external PHY; requires 48-MHz clock and impedance-controlled routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ARMv7 + C64x+ Heterogeneous Processing | Enables concurrent OS execution (ARM) and real-time signal processing (DSP), reducing latency in video analytics and voice recognition. |
| PowerVR SGX Graphics Acceleration | Provides hardware-accelerated 3D UI rendering and gaming performance without burdening the CPU - critical for web tablets and smart home controllers. |
| Camera ISP with BT.601/656 Support | Direct parallel interface to CCD/CMOS sensors with hardware preview, resizing, and color conversion - eliminates need for external image co-processors. |
| SmartReflex Adaptive Voltage Scaling | Automatically adjusts core voltage based on workload and temperature, cutting active power by up to 30% versus fixed-voltage operation. |
| Discrete Memory Interface (No POP) | Supports independent memory placement for thermal and layout optimization - preferred in cost-sensitive portable navigation and PMP designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OMAP3525DCBB72 | Same ARM/DSP cores and IVA2.2, but 515-pin s-PBGA (CBB) with POP support, 8 GPMC chip-selects, and full GPIO count (188 pins). | Required for designs needing stacked memory or expanded peripheral interfacing (e.g., industrial HMIs with FPGA co-processor). | Select when memory bandwidth or board-level integration outweighs size constraints - CBB adds 1.5 mm² footprint and requires POP-compatible layout. |
| AM3517BZCNA3 | ARM Cortex-A8 only (no C64x+ DSP or PowerVR SGX); 300-MHz max CPU; identical CUS package and pinout for basic multimedia tasks. | Suitable for cost-sensitive applications where DSP offload and 3D graphics are unnecessary (e.g., basic digital signage). | Choose for simplified BOM and lower power if video acceleration and real-time signal processing are not required - drops 30% of OMAP3530DCUS72's compute capability. |
Compared with OMAP3530DCUS72, OMAP3525DCBB72 offers greater memory and interface scalability at larger size, while AM3517BZCNA3 sacrifices DSP/SGX for lower cost and power - making OMAP3530DCUS72 optimal for balanced multimedia performance in space-constrained portable designs.

FAQ
What operating systems does the OMAP3530DCUS72 officially support?
The OMAP3530DCUS72 officially supports Linux, Android, and Windows CE per TI's SPRS507H datasheet. Its ARM Cortex-A8 core and NEON coprocessor provide full compatibility with Android 2.x–4.x BSPs, while the IVA2.2 subsystem enables hardware-accelerated media frameworks. OMAP3530DCUS72 does not support modern Android versions beyond 4.4 due to discontinued vendor driver support.
Does the OMAP3530DCUS72 include PowerVR SGX graphics acceleration?
Yes, the OMAP3530DCUS72 integrates the PowerVR SGX530 graphics accelerator, delivering up to 10 MPoly/sec performance with OpenGLES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0 API support. This is confirmed in Section 1.1 of the SPRS507H datasheet and distinguishes OMAP3530DCUS72 from OMAP3525, which lacks SGX. OMAP3530DCUS72 uses this GPU for UI rendering, video compositing, and 2D/3D acceleration.
What memory interfaces are supported by the OMAP3530DCUS72?
The OMAP3530DCUS72 supports SDRAM via its SDRC controller (LPDDR/DDR1), plus asynchronous memory through the GPMC - enabling direct connection to NOR/NAND flash, SRAM, and FPGA without glue logic. Unlike CBB/CBC packages, the CUS variant omits POP interface and limits GPMC to four chip-selects. OMAP3530DCUS72 does not support DDR2 or LPDDR2.
How many general-purpose I/O pins does the OMAP3530DCUS72 provide?
The OMAP3530DCUS72 supports up to 170 GPIO pins, fewer than the 188 available in CBB/CBC packages due to pin muxing limitations and omitted signals (e.g., gpmc_ncs1/ncs2). Pin multiplexing is documented in Table 2-4 of SPRS507H, and actual usable GPIO count depends on active peripheral assignments. OMAP3530DCUS72 reserves specific balls for fixed functions like SDRC and DSS, constraining flexible I/O allocation.
Is the OMAP3530DCUS72 pin-compatible with other OMAP35xx variants?
No - OMAP3530DCUS72 is not pin-compatible with OMAP3530DCBB72 or OMAP3530DCBC72. While all share the OMAP3530 core, the CUS package has 423 balls and distinct pin mapping (e.g., missing gpmc_wait1/2, reduced GPMC signals), whereas CBB/CBC use 515-ball layouts with POP interface and full peripheral routing. Interchangeability requires PCB redesign; OMAP3530DCUS72 is a standalone footprint option.
