AM1808BZCED4

The AM1808BZCED4 is a Sitara™ AM18xx series ARM926EJ‑S microprocessor in a 361‑NFBGA (13×13) package, running at 456 MHz. Designed for embedded and industrial applications, it combines a single 32‑bit ARM926EJ‑S core with an integrated peripheral set and memory interfaces to support connectivity, storage, and human‑machine interfaces.

With an industrial temperature range of −40 °C to 90 °C and a compact surface‑mount package, this device targets embedded systems that require sustained performance and broad I/O integration.

Key Features

• Core: ARM926EJ‑S 32‑bit RISC processor running at 456 MHz, supporting 32‑ and 16‑bit (Thumb) instructions.
• Programmable Real‑Time Unit Subsystem (PRUSS): Two independent PRU cores with on‑chip instruction and data RAM for low‑latency real‑time processing and deterministic I/O handling.
• On‑Chip Memory and Caches: Includes on‑chip memory and cache resources (instruction and data caches) to improve code execution and real‑time responsiveness.
• Memory Controllers: External memory support with controllers for LPDDR and DDR2, plus support for 16‑bit SDRAM and mobile DDR addressing options.
• High‑Speed Storage and Host Interfaces: Integrated SATA 3 Gbps controller and USB subsystem with USB 2.0 OTG (with PHY) and USB 1.1 host (with PHY) for storage and peripheral connectivity.
• Networking: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC with MII/RMII and MDIO support for networked embedded systems.
• Multimedia and Audio: LCD controller and multiple serial audio interfaces (McASP, McBSP) for display and audio subsystem integration.
• Peripheral Interfaces: Multiple UARTs (16550‑type), SPIs, I2C, MMC/SD with SDIO, and an HPI for high‑bandwidth peripheral connections.
• DMA and Timers: Enhanced DMA (EDMA3) with numerous channels and configurable timers for high‑efficiency data movement and timing control.
• Package and Thermal: 361‑ball NFBGA (13×13) surface‑mount package rated for industrial operation from −40 °C to 90 °C.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control: Real‑time I/O processing and deterministic control using the PRUSS and industrial temperature rating for factory automation and motor control.
• Embedded Networking Appliances: 10/100 Ethernet and USB/SDIO connectivity enable routers, gateways, and managed devices requiring network and peripheral integration.
• Multimedia HMIs: LCD controller and multichannel audio interfaces support human‑machine interfaces and embedded display systems.
• Storage‑Enabled Systems: SATA and USB host/OTG support makes the device suitable for compact storage controllers and media management appliances.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated I/O: Built‑in Ethernet, SATA, USB, MMC/SD, and multiple serial buses reduce external components and simplify system design.
• Real‑time processing capability: PRUSS subsystem provides dedicated, low‑latency processors for offloading deterministic tasks from the ARM core.
• Flexible memory support: DDR2 and LPDDR memory controllers enable scalable memory configurations to match application needs.
• Robust data movement: Enhanced DMA (EDMA3) with many channels streamlines high‑throughput transfers and peripheral management.
• Industrial ready: Industrial temperature range and surface‑mount 361‑NFBGA package support deployment in harsh environments.
• Sitara AM18xx family continuity: Part of the Sitara AM18xx series from Texas Instruments, enabling coherent platform choices within the family.
