Packaging

Type: NFBGA (also referenced as LFBGA in some documentation)

Ball count: 361

Body size: 16 x 16 mm

Typical ball pitch: approximately 0.8 mm (family typical; see datasheet for exact)

Material: Lead-free, RoHS-compliant mold compound with lead-free solder balls (SAC)

Mounting: Surface mount BGA

Supplier device package: 361-NFBGA (16x16)

Pin configuration: 361-ball array; functional pins include Ethernet, USB, LCD, SATA, memory, and serial interfaces (refer to the datasheet ball map for details)

Thermal characteristics: Junction temperature -40°C to 105°C; use good PCB copper areas and airflow for heat spreading; follow TI thermal guidelines

Electrical properties (high level): I/O 1.8 V and 3.3 V rails; core and peripheral rails per TI power domains; 375 MHz ARM operation; SDRAM interface timing per datasheet

Shipment packaging: Tray

Lifecycle

Status: Active and widely used in industrial applications; not nearing discontinuation based on current market information

Equivalent or alternative models:

- OMAPL138BZWT3 (similar family variant; check speed and temperature grade)

- OMAPL138AZWT3 (lower speed/alternate grade; verify fit)

- OMAPL137 family variants (ARM9 + DSP; feature set differs; partial compatibility)

- AM1808 (ARM9 without DSP; many variants are pin-compatible with OMAP-L138; functional differences)

- AM1810 (ARM9 with LCD controller; related pinout; feature differences)

- TMS320C6748 (DSP-only; similar package options; choose if only DSP is required)

- AM1707 (ARM9; older Sitara device; feature differences)

Important: Pin-to-pin and software compatibility vary by variant. Verify package, speed grade, temperature range, peripherals (e.g., SATA, USB, LCD) and power rails against your design.
