AM3357ZCZD27

The AM3357ZCZD27 is a Sitara AM335x series microprocessor from Texas Instruments based on a single ARM® Cortex®-A8 32-bit core running at 275 MHz. It is targeted at embedded and industrial systems that require integrated connectivity, multimedia acceleration, and on-chip security features.

Designed for industrial operating ranges and surface-mount board-level integration, this MPU combines a compact 324‑NFBGA (15×15) package with multiple memory controller options and a broad set of interfaces for display, networking, and peripheral connectivity.

Key Features

• Core – Single ARM® Cortex®‑A8 32‑bit core running at 275 MHz for deterministic embedded processing.
• Multimedia and DSP – Integrated multimedia co‑processor and NEON™ SIMD support to accelerate signal and media processing tasks.
• Memory Controllers – On‑chip controllers for LPDDR, DDR2, DDR3 and DDR3L memory types to support a range of system memory configurations.
• Display and Graphics – LCD and touchscreen display controllers plus graphics acceleration for HMI and user‑interface applications.
• Connectivity – Dual Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps), two USB 2.0 controllers with PHY, and CAN interface for networked embedded designs.
• Security – Built‑in cryptography and a hardware random number generator to support secure communications and data protection.
• Package and Mounting – 324‑NFBGA (15×15) supplier device package / 324‑LFBGA package case in a surface‑mount footprint for compact board designs.
• Industrial Grade and Temperature – Industrial grade device specified for operation from −40 °C to 90 °C.
• Environmental Compliance – RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control – Embedded control nodes and automation equipment that require industrial temperature range, Ethernet connectivity, and secure communications.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMI) – Touchscreen and LCD‑based operator panels leveraging the display controllers and graphics acceleration.
• Networked Devices – Gateways, switches, and other network appliances using dual Gigabit Ethernet and integrated USB connectivity.
• Multimedia and Imaging – Media processing and simple imaging tasks benefiting from NEON™ SIMD and multimedia co‑processing.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced single‑core performance: The 275 MHz ARM® Cortex®‑A8 core delivers predictable processing performance for embedded workloads.
