AM3352ZCE50 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AM3352ZCE50 is an ARM® Cortex®-A8 Microprocessor IC from Texas Instruments' Sitara™ series, featuring a single 32-bit core operating at 500MHz in a 298-NFBGA (13x13) package. This embedded processor integrates multimedia and NEON™ SIMD co-processors, multiple RAM controllers (LPDDR, DDR2, DDR3, DDR3L), LCD/touchscreen display controllers, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, and comprehensive peripheral interfaces including USB 2.0, CAN, I2C, McASP, McSPI, and MMC/SD/SDIO.

The AM3352ZCE50 is classified as obsolete. Substitute parts are necessary for new designs, production continuity, or when inventory of the original part is unavailable. Equivalent alternatives within the Sitara™ AM3352 family maintain core architectural compatibility while offering different performance grades and feature configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the AM3352 family is determined by the following allowable parameters:

Fixed Parameters (Must Match for Substitution):

• Manufacturer: Texas Instruments
• Series: Sitara™
• Core Processor: ARM® Cortex®-A8
• Number of Cores/Bus Width: 1 Core, 32-Bit
• Package / Case: 298-NFBGA (13x13)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Voltage - I/O: 1.8V, 3.3V
• Operating Temperature: 0°C ~ 90°C (TJ)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 3 (168 Hours)

Variable Parameters (Allowed to Differ):

• Speed: 300MHz, 500MHz, 600MHz
• Graphics Acceleration: Yes or No
• Ethernet Ports: 1 or 2 ports
• USB Ports: 1 or 2 ports
• Product Status: Active or Obsolete

The AM3352ZCE50 (500MHz) can be substituted with AM3352BZCE60 (600MHz) or AM3352BZCE30 (300MHz), provided the application requirements accommodate the speed variation and feature differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AM3352BZCE60 (600MHz): This substitute is the manufacturer-recommended alternative. It operates at 600MHz, providing higher performance than the original 500MHz part. The AM3352BZCE60 is classified as Active, ensuring ongoing availability and support. However, it features single Gigabit Ethernet and single USB 2.0 port compared to the dual ports on the original part. Graphics acceleration is not available on this variant. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications where increased processing speed is beneficial and the reduced port count does not impact system requirements.

AM3352BZCE30 (300MHz): This substitute operates at 300MHz, providing lower performance than the original 500MHz part. The AM3352BZCE30 is classified as Active and maintains graphics acceleration capability. It retains dual Gigabit Ethernet and dual USB 2.0 ports, matching the original part's connectivity. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications with lower processing demands or where cost optimization is a priority, provided the 300MHz speed meets functional requirements.

Both substitutes maintain full compatibility with the core Sitara™ AM3352 architecture, identical package geometry, and equivalent electrical specifications. Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements for processing speed, port count, and graphics acceleration capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AM3352BZCE60 directly replace AM3352ZCE50 in existing designs?

A: The AM3352BZCE60 shares identical package geometry (298-NFBGA 13x13), mounting type, voltage specifications, and operating temperature range. However, it differs in processing speed (600MHz vs. 500MHz), Ethernet port count (1 vs. 2), USB port count (1 vs. 2), and graphics acceleration capability (No vs. Yes). Direct replacement is possible only if the application does not depend on dual Ethernet or USB ports and does not require graphics acceleration.

Q: Can AM3352BZCE30 directly replace AM3352ZCE50 in existing designs?

A: The AM3352BZCE30 shares identical package geometry (298-NFBGA 13x13), mounting type, voltage specifications, operating temperature range, and maintains dual Ethernet and dual USB ports with graphics acceleration. The primary difference is reduced processing speed (300MHz vs. 500MHz). Direct replacement is possible if the application's processing requirements are satisfied by 300MHz operation.

Q: What are the key differences between the three parts?

A: The three parts differ in processing speed (300MHz, 500MHz, 600MHz), graphics acceleration capability (present on AM3352ZCE50 and AM3352BZCE30, absent on AM3352BZCE60), and port configurations (AM3352BZCE60 features single Ethernet and USB ports; the other two feature dual ports). All three share identical core architecture, package, and electrical specifications.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts—AM3352ZCE50, AM3352BZCE60, and AM3352BZCE30—are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical MSL ratings of 3 (168 Hours).

Q: What is the product status of each part?

A: AM3352ZCE50 is classified as Obsolete. Both AM3352BZCE60 and AM3352BZCE30 are classified as Active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any differences in security features?

A: No. All three parts include identical security features: Cryptography and Random Number Generator.
