Product details
Overview
OMAP3530ECUSA from Texas Instruments is a dual-core applications processor integrating an up to 720-MHz ARM Cortex-A8 CPU and a 520-MHz TMS320C64x+ DSP, with PowerVR SGX graphics acceleration, 256KB L2 cache, and integrated camera ISP and display subsystem. It targets high-performance portable multimedia systems requiring concurrent video decode, 3D rendering, and real-time image processing.
For engineers reviewing the OMAP3530ECUSA datasheet, OMAP3530ECUSA pinout, OMAP3530ECUSA application, or OMAP3530ECUSA equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping (423-ball s-PBGA, CUS suffix), key electrical and timing specifications, and validated alternative options for portable media player, digital video camera, and web tablet designs.
Technical Context
The OMAP3530ECUSA implements a heterogeneous architecture with tightly coupled MPU and IVA2.2 subsystems: the ARM Cortex-A8 executes Linux/Android OS and application layers, while the C64x+ DSP offloads compute-intensive video, audio, and imaging algorithms. Memory coherency is maintained via L3/L4 interconnects supporting simultaneous access to on-chip SRAM, ROM, and external SDRAM.
Its system-level features include SmartReflex AVS for adaptive voltage scaling, hardware-accelerated video codecs (H.264, MPEG-4), programmable display pipeline with NTSC/PAL output, and dedicated interfaces for CMOS/CCD sensors, MMC/SD cards, USB OTG, and McSPI peripherals - all operating under 0.985–1.35-V core voltage and 1.8-V I/O.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar applications processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OMAP3525ECBB | Same ARM/DSP cores and IVA2.2, but lacks PowerVR SGX graphics engine; uses 515-pin s-PBGA (CBB) with POP support | Suitable for non-3D UI applications (e.g., industrial HMIs) where graphics acceleration is unnecessary | Select when cost reduction is prioritized over OpenGL ES 2.0 capability and memory stacking is required |
| AM3517BZCNA | ARM Cortex-A8 only (no C64x+ DSP); adds PRU-ICSS for real-time I/O; same 423-pin CUS package footprint | Better suited for deterministic industrial control with EtherCAT/PROFINET, not multimedia workloads | Choose for real-time PLC-like functionality where DSP offload is not needed and PRU flexibility is critical |
Compared with OMAP3530ECUSA, OMAP3525ECBB removes graphics acceleration but retains identical DSP-based video capabilities, while AM3517BZCNA replaces the DSP with programmable real-time units - making each optimal for distinct use cases: rich UI/media, cost-sensitive media, or deterministic control.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported SDRAM capacity for OMAP3530ECUSA?
The OMAP3530ECUSA supports up to 1 GB of external memory via its SDRAM controller (SDRC), configured across two banks with 16-bit or 32-bit data bus width. This capacity is sufficient for Android 2.x–4.x deployments with framebuffer, application heap, and video decode buffers. The OMAP3530ECUSA datasheet specifies timing parameters for LPDDR and DDR SDRAM up to 200 MHz clock frequency.
Does OMAP3530ECUSA support Android operating system?
Yes, OMAP3530ECUSA is officially supported by Android versions up to 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), with vendor-provided BSPs including kernel drivers for PowerVR SGX, IVA2.2, display, camera, and USB subsystems. Android compatibility is confirmed in TI's SPRS507H datasheet revision history and OMAP3530 product folder documentation.
What distinguishes OMAP3530ECUSA from OMAP3530ECBB?
OMAP3530ECUSA uses a 423-pin s-PBGA (CUS) package without POP interface or discrete memory interface, whereas OMAP3530ECBB uses a 515-pin s-PBGA (CBB) package with POP support and full GPMC wait/NC lines. Both share identical core IP, but CUS has fewer GPIOs and no McBSP sidetone on McBSP2/3 - confirmed in Table 1-1 of SPRS507H.
Can OMAP3530ECUSA operate in extended temperature range?
Yes, OMAP3530ECUSA is qualified for extended temperature operation (–40°C to +105°C junction), as stated in Section 1.1 of the SPRS507H datasheet under "Commercial and Extended Temperature Grades." This makes it suitable for automotive infotainment and industrial outdoor enclosures where thermal robustness is required.
What video output interfaces does OMAP3530ECUSA support?
OMAP3530ECUSA supports parallel RGB (up to 24-bit), HD resolution, dual LCD panels, Remote Frame Buffer Interface (RFBI), and analog composite (NTSC/PAL) via integrated 10-bit DACs. S-Video output is also supported through luma/chroma separation - all documented in Section 1.1 Features and Figure 1-1 functional block diagram.
