OMAPL138AZCEA3

The OMAPL138AZCEA3 is a 32-bit ARM926EJ-S microprocessor IC clocked at 300 MHz, offered in a 361‑NFBGA (13×13) surface-mount package and rated for industrial operation. It targets embedded and industrial applications that require a compact, integrated MPU with on-chip system interfaces and security features.

Designed for integration into embedded systems, this device combines an ARM926EJ-S core with a C674x signal-processing co-processor and a broad set of peripheral controllers to support networking, storage, display and I/O tasks in temperature‑sensitive environments.

Key Features

• Core 32‑bit ARM926EJ‑S core running at 300 MHz; includes system control (CP15) for standard ARM memory and control features.
• Co‑processor / DSP C674x signal‑processing co‑processor for offloading compute‑intensive signal tasks and accelerating DSP workloads.
• Memory and Cache On‑chip memory architecture and external memory controller support; SDRAM controller included for system memory integration.
• Storage and Networking Integrated SATA 3 Gbps interface and single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller to support local storage and network connectivity.
• USB and Display Built‑in USB 1.1 + PHY and USB 2.0 + PHY interfaces plus an LCD controller for embedded HMI and peripheral connectivity.
• I/O and Expansion Host Port Interface (HPI) and additional serial peripherals (UART/SPI available on the series) for flexible sensor and peripheral connections.
• Security Boot security and cryptography features to support secured boot and cryptographic operations.
• Package and Mounting 361‑NFBGA package (13×13 mm) in a surface‑mount form factor suited to compact board designs.
• Industrial Grade Rated operating temperature from −40 °C to 105 °C for deployment in demanding environments. RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Use in embedded controllers where a hardened industrial temperature range and integrated I/O (Ethernet, USB, SATA) are required.
• Networking and Communications Suitable for networked embedded devices that need 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity and storage via SATA.
• Human‑Machine Interfaces Drives LCD displays and manages USB peripherals for operator panels and machine interfaces.
• Signal Processing Systems Leverages the C674x co‑processor to accelerate audio, sensor, or DSP workloads alongside the ARM core.

Unique Advantages

• Integrated multimedia and I/O set: On‑chip LCD controller, USB (1.1 and 2.0), Ethernet and SATA reduce external components and simplify board design.
• Combined MPU + DSP capability: ARM926EJ‑S paired with a C674x co‑processor allows separation of control and signal processing tasks for efficient system partitioning.
• Industrial temperature rating: −40 °C to 105 °C operation supports deployment in harsh and temperature‑variable environments.
• Security features onboard: Boot security and cryptography support improve platform integrity and help meet application security requirements.
• Compact BGA package: 361‑NFBGA (13×13) enables high‑density integration in space‑constrained embedded designs.
