General Digital Peripheral Routing Guidelines

The following general routing recommendations should be followed throughout an AM263x or AM263Px PCB design. The 45nm LVCMOS process I/O can produce relatively fast edge-rates. Without transmission-line effects planned for, this can result in severe overshoot/undershoot even with relatively short traces on the PCB. These uncontrolled level transitions can damage associated components by presenting attached I/O with over/under-voltage conditions. Additionally, these uncontrolled transitions can radiate excessively which creates cross-talk and EMI compliance problems.

To mitigate these problems:

  • Route all digital I/O as controlled impedance transmission-lines (Microstrip/Stripline)
  • Place series termination near each AM263x or AM263Px transmit pin and attached transmit pins of associated IC
    • The values and performance of these termination resistors should be validated during wake-up of new PCB hardware.
    • In some cases, these termination resistors may not be required, but they should only be removed or eliminated from the design after testing
  • Route with solid ground return planes on adjacent layers
  • Route with ground return rings surrounding constantly switching signals (clocks, EPWM)
  • Route with ground return rings surrounding sensitive analog signals (ADC/DAC channels, VREF)
