Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AM1808BZCE3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Core Processor Architecture: ARM926EJ-S
  • Core Count and Bus Width: 1 Core, 32-Bit
  • Operating Frequency: 375MHz
  • Memory Controller Support: LPDDR and DDR2
  • Peripheral Integration: Ethernet (10/100Mbps), SATA (3Gbps), USB (1.1 and 2.0), LCD controller
  • Interface Support: I2C, McASP, McBSP, SPI, MMC/SD, UART
  • Package Footprint: 361-NFBGA (13x13)
  • Voltage Compliance: 1.8V and 3.3V I/O
