45 nm CMOS technology allows for faster core and SRAM clock rates, and faster edge rates for LVCMOS I/O buffers. Therefore, in comparison with previous MCU process nodes, careful power and ground return placement is critical to achieving best power integrity, signal integrity and EMI performance with AM263x and AM263Px designs.
It is recommended that designers follow a similar power distribution layout as implemented in the AM263x and AM263Px EVM PCB designs to achieve good power integrity results across all operating conditions and EMI testing conditions.
The TMDSCNCD263 controlCard EVM represents the most optimized and scrutinized power distribution layout example so far and so the controlCard is referenced in this section.
