Abstract

This application note discusses the power consumption for common benchmarks and system application usage scenarios for the AM62x Sitara™ processors. The metrics contained in this document serve to provide users with a better understanding of AM62x active power and low power metrics: making it easier to determine a suitable configuration to meet a given power budget.
