DM3730 / DM3725 Device Information[edit]
In this page, you will find information to evaluate the device capabilities. If there are ever any discrepancies in information, the device data-sheet is considered the official source
Overview[edit]
This device is the next generation roadmap device to the popular OMAP35x. It offers higher performance, lower power consumption, and lower cost when compared to OMAP35x. It is also pin-pin compatible with corresponding Sitara™ AM37x offerings
Key Documentation[edit]
- DM3730 Product Folder DM3725 Product Folder
- The product folder on ti.com contains the datasheet, errata, user guides, and much more
- DM3730/DM3725 Datasheet
- The datasheet contains a detailed features list, description, and block diagram of the processor. In addition, the datasheet contains information on the device pinout, electricals, package, and basic configuration.
- DM3730/DM3725 Errata
- The errata contains silicon revision information along with deviations from the datasheet and user guides that were revealed during the validation process. Some of these deviations will be corrected or added to the processor datasheet and user guide, but others will only appear in the errata.
