The Hardware Design Considerations for Custom Board Design Using AM62A7, AM62A3, AM62A7-Q1, AM62A3-Q1 and AM62D-Q1 processor families user's guide (document) provides a starting point for the board designers designing with any of these processors. The document provides an overview of the recommended design flow at different board design stages and highlights important design requirements that must be addressed. Note that the document does not include all of the information required to complete the custom board design. In many cases, the document refers to the device-specific collaterals and various other documents as sources for specific information.
The document is organized in a sequential manner. It starts from decisions that must be made during the initial planning stages of the custom board design, through the selection of processor and key attached devices, electrical and thermal requirements. For ensuring a successful board design, recommendations discussed in each of the section are required to be addressed before moving to the next section.
The processor family has capabilities to address safety requirements.
The focus of the document is non-safety applications.
