AM1808BZWT3

The AM1808BZWT3 is a Sitara AM18xx series microprocessor featuring a single ARM926EJ-S 32-bit core running at 375 MHz. It integrates a broad set of on-chip peripherals and subsystems to support embedded designs requiring network, storage and multimedia connectivity.

Designed for commercial embedded applications, the device targets use cases such as industrial control, networking appliances, and multimedia-enabled user interfaces where integration, real‑time capability and flexible memory interfaces reduce system complexity.

Key Features

• Core ARM926EJ-S 32‑bit RISC processor, single core at 375 MHz providing deterministic general‑purpose processing.
• Programmable Real‑Time Unit Subsystem (PRUSS) Two independent programmable real‑time units for low‑latency tasks; PRUs include single‑cycle MAC and on‑PRU instruction/data RAM resources.
• Memory and Cache On‑chip memory and cache resources including 128 KB of on‑chip memory, 16 KB instruction cache and 16 KB data cache; supports DDR2, LPDDR and multiple external memory interfaces (NOR/NAND/SDRAM/mDDR).
• High‑speed Interfaces Integrated USB 2.0 OTG and USB 1.1 (each with PHY), 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC, and a SATA 3 Gbps interface for networked and storage applications.
• Multimedia and Audio LCD controller and video port interface (VPIF) plus multichannel audio serial ports (McASP) and multichannel buffered serial ports (McBSP) for display and audio subsystems.
• Peripheral I/O Multiple UARTs (16550‑type), SPI, I2C, SD/MMC (with SDIO), and host‑port interface (HPI) for diverse peripheral connectivity.
• DMA and Timers Enhanced DMA controller (EDMA3) with multiple channels and dedicated interrupt controller plus configurable general‑purpose timers for efficient data movement and timing.
• Package and Temperature 361‑ball NFBGA (16 × 16 mm) surface‑mount package, commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 90 °C.
• Compliance RoHS compliant to support current environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control – Real‑time processing via PRUs and extensive I/O make the AM1808BZWT3 suitable for motion control, sensor aggregation and field equipment gateways.
• Networking and Connectivity Appliances – Built‑in 10/100 Ethernet, USB and SATA interfaces enable compact routers, gateways and NAS front‑ends.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces – LCD controller, audio interfaces and ample peripheral support allow implementation of operator panels and embedded display systems.
• Multimedia Edge Devices – Video port interface and multichannel audio support streaming and capture tasks at the edge.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated connectivity: Ethernet, USB (1.1 and 2.0 with PHY), SATA and multiple serial interfaces reduce external components and board complexity.
• Deterministic real‑time capability: Dual PRU cores provide dedicated realtime processing offload for low‑latency control and I/O handling.
• Flexible memory support: Multiple external memory controllers (DDR2, LPDDR, mDDR, NOR/NAND/SDRAM) enable scalable memory configurations for varied application needs.
• On‑chip acceleration and DMA: EDMA3 and on‑chip memory accelerate data movement and lower CPU overhead for throughput‑sensitive tasks.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 361‑ball NFBGA (16×16 mm) surface‑mount package supports high‑density board designs for commercial embedded products.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance expectations for commercial product builds.
