Product details
Overview
OMAP3530ECBB from Texas Instruments is a high-performance applications processor integrating an up to 720-MHz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU, 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 navigation devices.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3530ECBB datasheet, OMAP3530ECBB pinout, OMAP3530ECBB application, or OMAP3530ECBB equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (515-pin s-PBGA, CBB suffix), confirmed IVA2.2 subsystem integration, validated SmartReflex power management, and precise GPIO count (170 usable) - all critical for PCB layout, thermal design, and OS bring-up on Linux or Android platforms.
Technical Context
The OMAP3530ECBB implements a heterogeneous dual-core architecture: the ARM Cortex-A8 executes HLOS tasks (Linux/Android) with NEON SIMD acceleration and 256-KB L2 cache, while the C64x+ DSP handles real-time imaging and audio algorithms via 64-KB L2 RAM and EDMA-controlled data flow. Both cores share the L3/L4 interconnect and access external memory through a 16-/32-bit SDRAM controller supporting LPDDR.
Its IVA2.2 subsystem integrates dedicated hardware accelerators for camera ISP (BT.601/BT.656), display processing (dual-panel RGB/S-Video output), and video codecs - offloading the CPU/DSP. The PowerVR SGX GPU supports OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0, delivering up to 10 MPoly/sec for UI rendering and gaming.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OMAP3525ECBB | Lacks PowerVR SGX GPU; identical CPU/DSP/ISP and package - lower graphics performance, reduced die size and power. | Suitable for non-graphics-intensive applications like basic PNDs or data terminals requiring only 2D UI and video playback. | Select when 3D graphics acceleration is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over GPU capability. |
| AM3517BZCNA | ARM Cortex-A8 only (no C64x+ DSP); adds Ethernet MAC and enhanced security features; same 515-pin s-PBGA package. | Better suited for industrial networking gateways and HMIs where DSP offload is not required but deterministic Ethernet is critical. | Choose for network-connected embedded systems needing TCP/IP stack acceleration and secure boot, not multimedia compute. |
Compared with OMAP3525ECBB, OMAP3530ECBB adds essential GPU capability for rich UIs and gaming; compared with AM3517BZCNA, it trades Ethernet for DSP and SGX - making OMAP3530ECBB optimal for battery-powered multimedia endpoints where imaging and graphics dominate compute load.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ARM Cortex-A8 core in OMAP3530ECBB?
The OMAP3530ECBB ARM Cortex-A8 core operates at up to 720 MHz under commercial temperature conditions. This frequency is achieved with adaptive core voltage (0.985–1.35 V) managed by SmartReflex technology. The actual sustained frequency depends on thermal headroom and voltage scaling policies configured in the bootloader or kernel. OMAP3530ECBB maintains full instruction compatibility with ARMv7 and supports Thumb-2 for code density optimization.
Does OMAP3530ECBB include a PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator?
Yes, OMAP3530ECBB integrates a PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator supporting OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0, delivering up to 10 MPoly/sec. This GPU is absent in the OMAP3525 variant. OMAP3530ECBB uses the SGX to accelerate UI compositing, 3D gaming, and video post-processing - offloading the ARM core and enabling smooth frame rates in Android-based devices.
What memory interfaces does OMAP3530ECBB support?
OMAP3530ECBB supports a 16-/32-bit SDRAM Controller (SDRC) for LPDDR and standard SDRAM, plus a General Purpose Memory Controller (GPMC) with eight chip-selects for NOR/NAND flash, SRAM, and FPGA peripherals. It does not support DDR2 or DDR3. The SDRC includes SMS rotation engine and memory scheduler - critical for video buffer management in OMAP3530ECBB-based media players.
How many general-purpose I/O pins are available on OMAP3530ECBB?
OMAP3530ECBB provides up to 170 usable GPIO pins in its 515-pin CBB package, due to pin multiplexing constraints and reserved balls (e.g., A1, A2, AB1). This count excludes dedicated power, ground, and reference pins. GPIO functionality is shared with peripherals like McSPI, UART, and McBSP - requiring careful mux configuration in software. OMAP3530ECBB's GPIO flexibility supports custom peripheral integration in handheld terminals and industrial HMIs.
What operating systems are officially supported on OMAP3530ECBB?
OMAP3530ECBB is officially supported on Linux (including TI's Linux SDK), Windows CE, and Android - with vendor-provided BSPs, drivers, and graphics stacks. Android support was added in the October 2013 revision of the SPRS507H datasheet.
