13 Summary

The via channels have been carefully co-designed to ensure escapes for all signals and power while meeting the respective signal and power integrity goals for each interface. A summary of all via channel arrays and vias for the different signal and power supply nets is shown in Table 13-1.

Notes:

  1. Outer two rows are fully fanned-out on top layer with no VCAs or Vias. This includes a handful of VSS balls (in the outer two rows) which are not included in the table.
  2. There are a total of 200 VCAs; one is not used (J15 location), one is used for routing (M14 for VSS), all others have a Via.
  3. Any net not specifically listed above is either fanned out directly on outer layer, or is counted in the “signals” row with 1 via per 1 pin (this includes VDDA_x and CAP_VDDx nets that are considered as power nets).

A picture showing AM62x with all signals and power escaped is shown in Figure 13-1.

An example layout file for the fully escaped design can be downloaded here.
