AM1808EZWTT3

The AM1808EZWTT3 is a Sitara AM18xx series microprocessor from Texas Instruments featuring a single ARM926EJ-S 32-bit core running at 375 MHz. It combines a compact 361-NFBGA (16×16) surface-mount package with a broad set of embedded interfaces and memory controllers for connected, real-time embedded designs.

Designed for commercial embedded systems, the device targets applications that need balanced processing performance, flexible external memory support, and integrated peripheral connectivity including Ethernet, SATA and USB.

Key Features

• Core and Architecture ARM926EJ-S single 32-bit core operating at 375 MHz, providing deterministic RISC processing for control and application tasks.
• Memory Interfaces Supports LPDDR and DDR2 memory controllers and two external memory interfaces (EMIFA) for NOR and NAND memories, enabling flexible system memory configurations.
• High‑throughput Peripherals Integrated 10/100 Mbps Ethernet MAC (1), SATA 3 Gbps interface (1), and USB 2.0 + PHY and USB 1.1 + PHY options for networking, storage and host/device connectivity.
• Storage and Media I/O MMC/SD/SDIO support plus multiple SPI channels and three configurable 16550-type UART modules for mass storage and legacy serial connectivity.
• Real‑time and DMA Subsystems Programmable Real‑Time Unit Subsystem (PRUSS) for deterministic I/O and an Enhanced DMA controller (EDMA3) to offload data movement — features useful for low-latency control and high-throughput transfers.
• Display and Audio Integrated LCD controller and multichannel audio serial port options for user interface and multimedia applications.
• Timers and System Control Multiple general‑purpose timers, watchdog timer and a dedicated interrupt controller for real-time system management and reliable operation.
• Package and Environmental 361‑NFBGA (16×16) surface‑mount package; commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 90 °C. RoHS compliant.
• Power Management On-chip power management features including clock gating and a peripheral state controller to help optimize system power usage.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Deterministic PRU subsystem and multiple serial interfaces enable sensor interfacing, motion control and fieldbus gateway functions.
• Networked Embedded Appliances — Integrated Ethernet MAC, USB and SATA support make the device suitable for compact networking appliances and edge compute nodes.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces — LCD controller, audio interfaces and flexible memory support for responsive operator displays and local media handling.
• Storage and Data Logging — SD/MMC/SDIO, SATA and EDMA3 DMA capabilities support reliable local storage and high-speed data movement.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Processing and I/O: Single ARM926EJ-S core at 375 MHz paired with extensive peripheral integration reduces the need for external controllers.
• Flexible Memory Support: LPDDR and DDR2 controllers plus external memory interfaces (EMIFA) allow tailored memory architectures for cost or performance targets.
• Integrated Connectivity Stack: On-chip Ethernet, SATA and dual USB PHYs simplify board design for networked and storage-enabled products.
• Deterministic Real-Time Capability: PRUSS (programmable real-time unit) and EDMA3 enable low-latency control and efficient data transfers for real‑time tasks.
• Compact Surface‑Mount Package: 361‑NFBGA (16×16) package supports dense board layouts for space-constrained designs.
• Commercial Temperature Range: Rated for 0 °C to 90 °C operation to match typical commercial embedded environment requirements.
