The AM62x-Low Power SK EVM board provides a micro SD card interface connected to the MMC1 port of the AM62x 17x17 SoC. The MicroSD card socket of Mfr. Part# MEM2051-00-195-00-A is used to interface with the MMC1 port of the AM62x 17x17 SoC. UHS1 operation is supported, including IO operations at both 1.8V and 3.3V. The Micro SD card interface is set to operate in SD mode by default. For high-speed cards, the ROM Code of the SOC attempts to find the fastest speed that the card and controller can support and can have a transition to 1.8V.
The SD Card connector power is provided using a load switch of Mfr. Part # TPS22918DBVR, which is controlled by ANDing the output of RESETSTATz, PORz_OUT and a GPIO from an IO Expander. An ESD protection device of part number TPD6E001RSE is provided for data, clock, and command signals. TPD6E001RSE is a line termination device with integrated TVS diodes providing system-level IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection, ± 8-kV contact discharge and ± 15kV air-gap discharge.
