Packaging

Device package type: Fine-pitch flip-chip ball grid array (FCBGA)

Ball count and size: 1031 balls; 25x25 mm body size; ball map in datasheet

Variants: 1031-FCBGA (25x25); some documentation references 1031-BFBGA/FCBGA

Material: flip-chip BGA on organic substrate; RoHS non-compliant (leaded balls)

Mounting: surface mount; standard lead-free or leaded reflow profiles as required by the assembly process

Thermal characteristics: junction temperature up to 95°C (TJ); design for adequate airflow and heat spreading; follow TI thermal guidelines

Electrical properties: 1.00 V core supply; 1.5 V / 1.8 V / 3.3 V I/O; observe decoupling and power sequencing best practices

Shipping format: Tray for automated pick-and-place; ESD-safe handling required

Lifecycle

Status: Mature product in the TI DaVinci DM81x family. Availability can be limited depending on region and date codes. Many new designs have migrated to newer Sitara/Jacinto platforms.

Recommended action: For new designs, evaluate current-generation alternatives. For ongoing production, Y-IC can help plan lifecycle buys and secure supply.

Equivalent or alternative models:

- TMS320DM8167: Similar DM816x family device with adjusted video/peripheral mix; potential cost savings

- TMS320DM8148: DM814x variant aimed at 720p-centric applications; lower performance and I/O versus DM8168

- TMS320DM8127: Cost-optimized DM81x for IP cameras and video capture; fewer interfaces; lower clocks

- Sitara AM5728 / AM5718: Newer TI platforms with higher CPU performance and integrated C66x DSP (software migration required; different peripherals)

- DRA7x (Jacinto 6) family: Automotive-grade TI SoCs with strong multimedia and vision features (environmental and software differences apply)

- NXP i.MX6 Quad / i.MX8M Plus: Non-TI alternatives with robust multimedia, GPU, and connectivity (interface and software changes required)
