This section outlines the latest estimates of the AM263x and AM263Px transient current requirements on a per net basis. These values may change as more power modeling and characterization is performed.
These transient use-case values were used to constrain the PDN design of the AM263x and AM263Px EVMs (controlCards and LaunchPads) by creating a set of minimum/maximum operating frequency and PDN impedance (Zmax) target limits. These limits were based on the magnitude and slew-rate of simulated transient current use-cases. The use-cases were used to estimate the PDN bandwidth needed to adequately decouple the resulting transient event. Additional z-parameter simulation of the EVM PDN was used to verify that the power plane design and decoupling placement and component values could then meet these limits. This is summarized in Figure 2-11.
