Product details
Overview
OMAP3530ECUS 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 - enabling concurrent video decode, 3D rendering, and real-time image processing in portable media players and digital video cameras.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3530ECUS datasheet, OMAP3530ECUS pinout, OMAP3530ECUS application, or OMAP3530ECUS equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (423-pin s-PBGA, CUS suffix), confirmed subsystem-level specifications (IVA2.2, SmartReflex AVS, dual-display support), and validated alternative options for embedded HLOS designs targeting Linux, Android, or Windows CE.
Technical Context
The OMAP3530ECUS implements a heterogeneous dual-core architecture: the ARM Cortex-A8 handles OS execution and application logic with NEON SIMD acceleration, while the C64x+ DSP offloads intensive IVA2.2 tasks including video encode/decode, ISP pipeline operations, and audio preprocessing. Both cores share L2 cache and access unified memory via L3/L4 interconnects.
Its system-level design includes dedicated hardware accelerators - PowerVR SGX for OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0 compliance, a programmable display subsystem supporting NTSC/PAL output and dual LCD panels, and a camera ISP with BT.601/BT.656 interface, resize engine, and color space conversion - all operating under SmartReflex adaptive voltage scaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Core Architecture | ARM Cortex-A8 + TMS320C64x+ DSP (IVA2.2 subsystem); enables parallel OS/application and real-time signal processing workloads. |
| Max CPU Frequency | 720 MHz (ARM), 520 MHz (DSP); defines real-time video decode throughput and UI responsiveness in portable devices. |
| Graphics Engine | PowerVR SGX (OMAP3530 only); delivers up to 10 MPoly/sec and supports OpenGL ES 2.0 for 3D gaming and UI acceleration. |
| Memory Interface | SDRAM Controller (SDRC) with 16-/32-bit bus, LPDDR support, and 256-KB L2 cache; enables low-latency frame buffering and multi-layer display composition. |
| Package | 423-pin s-PBGA (CUS suffix), 0.65-mm ball pitch; excludes POP stacking and discrete memory interface per Table 1-1. |
| Power Management | SmartReflex AVS with dynamic voltage/frequency scaling (DVFS); reduces active power by adapting core voltage (0.985–1.35 V) to workload. |

Pinout & Package
OMAP3530ECUS is housed in a 423-ball, 0.65-mm pitch, plastic ball grid array (s-PBGA) package with no top-side balls (CUS suffix). It lacks POP interface and discrete memory interface support compared to CBB/CBC variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OMAP3525ECUS | No PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator; identical ARM/DSP cores, memory subsystem, and I/O. | Suitable for non-3D applications (e.g., navigation, basic media) where GPU acceleration is unnecessary. | Select OMAP3525ECUS when 3D graphics are not required - achieves same compute and power profile at lower cost and thermal load. |
| AM3517BZCNA | ARM Cortex-A8 only (no C64x+ DSP); adds PRU-ICSS for industrial protocol offload; same 423-pin s-PBGA package. | Targeted at industrial HMIs and gateway devices needing deterministic I/O control over media acceleration. | Choose AM3517BZCNA for deterministic real-time I/O (via PRUs) and reduced software complexity - but forfeits IVA2.2 video acceleration. |
Compared with OMAP3525ECUS, OMAP3530ECUS adds PowerVR SGX for OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics; compared with AM3517BZCNA, it retains full IVA2.2 DSP acceleration for video/media workloads but lacks PRU-based industrial protocol support.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the ARM Cortex-A8 core in OMAP3530ECUS?
The OMAP3530ECUS 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, and is validated for commercial temperature grade operation. The OMAP3530ECUS datasheet (SPRS507H, Section 3.3) specifies this as the highest OPP (Operating Performance Point) for the MPU subsystem.
Does OMAP3530ECUS include a PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator?
Yes, the OMAP3530ECUS integrates a PowerVR SGX graphics accelerator supporting OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.0. This distinguishes it from the OMAP3525ECUS, which omits the SGX block. The SGX enables hardware-accelerated 3D rendering and UI composition, delivering up to 10 MPoly/sec as documented in the OMAP3530ECUS functional description (Section 1.3).
What memory interfaces does OMAP3530ECUS support?
The OMAP3530ECUS supports SDRAM via its SDRC controller (16-/32-bit bus, LPDDR compatible), NAND/NOR flash and SRAM via GPMC, and removable media via three MMC/SDIO controllers. It does not support POP stacking or discrete memory interface in the CUS package variant, as confirmed in Table 1-1 of the SPRS507H datasheet.
How many general-purpose I/O pins are available on OMAP3530ECUS?
The OMAP3530ECUS supports up to 188 general-purpose I/O pins, though pin multiplexing restricts simultaneous availability. All GPIOs are shared with peripheral functions (e.g., UART, McBSP, McSPI), and exact count depends on selected mux modes - detailed in Table 2-4 (Multiplexing Characteristics) of the SPRS507H datasheet.
What video output interfaces does OMAP3530ECUS provide?
The OMAP3530ECUS provides parallel RGB (up to 24-bit), NTSC/PAL composite (via integrated 2×10-bit DACs), and S-Video outputs through its display subsystem. It supports dual LCD panels and remote frame buffer interface (RFBI), but lacks native HDMI or LVDS transmitters - requiring external PHY for those standards.
