AM62x-Low Power SK EVM utilizes an array of DC-DC converters to supply the various memories, clocks, SoC and other components on the board with the necessary voltage and the power required.
The figure below shows the various discrete regulators and LDOs used to generate power rails and the current consumption of each peripheral on AM62x-Low Power SK EVM board.
The following sections describe the power distribution network topology that supplies the SK EVM board, supporting components and reference voltages.
The AM62x-Low Power SK EVM board includes a power solution based on a PMIC as well as discrete power supply components. The initial stage of the power supply will be VBUS voltage from either of the two USB Type C connectors J13 and J15. USB Type-C Dual PD controller of Mfr. Part# TPS65988DHRSHR is used for negotiation of the required power to the system.
Buck-Boost controller TPS630702RNMR and Buck converter LM61460-Q1 are used for the generation of 5V and 3.3V respectively and the input to the regulators is the PD output. These 3.3V and 5V are the primary voltages for the AM62x-Low Power SK EVM Board power resources. The 3.3V supply generated from the Buck regulator LM61460-Q1 is the input supply to the Various SOC regulators and LDOs. The 5V supply generated from the Buck Boost regulator TPS630702RNMR is used for powering the onboard peripherals. Discrete regulators and LDOs used on board are:
Additionally, GPIO from the test automation header is also connected to the TPS630702RNMR Enable pin to control ON/OFF of the SKEVM via the test automation board. It only disables the VCC_5V0 output of TPS630702RNMR from which all other power supplies are derived. SoC has different IO groups.
