AM62P SK EVM can be powered through either of the two USB Type C Connectors,
The AM62P SK EVM supports voltage input ranges of 5 V - 15 V and 3 A of current. A USB PD controller Mfr. Part# TPS65988DHRSHR is used for PD negotiation upon cable detection to get necessary power required for the board. Connector 1 is configured to be an UFP Port and has no Data role. Connector 2 is configured as a DRP port, and can act as DFP only when the board is being powered by Connector 1. When both the connectors are connected to external power supply, the port with highest PD power contract are selected to power the board.
J17 (UFP) | J19 (DRP) | Board Power | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|
Plugged in | NC | ON - J17 | J17 are UFP and only sinks power & J19 can act as DFP if a peripheral is connected. |
NC | Plugged in | ON - J19 | J19 is UFP and can only sink power. |
Plugged in | Plugged in | ON- J17 or J19 | Board is powered by the port with highest PD power contract. |
The PD IC uses a SPI EEPROM to load the necessary configuration on power up so SPI EEPROM can negotiate a power contract with a compatible power source.
The configuration file is loaded to the EEPROM using header J15. Once the EEPROM is programmed the PD obtains the configuration files via SPI communication. Upon loading the configuration file, the PD negotiates with the source to obtain the necessary power requirement.
Power indication LEDs are provided for both the Type-C connectors for the user to identify which connector is powering the SK EVM board. An external power supply (Type-C output) can be used to power the EVM but is not included as part of the SK EVM kit.
The external power supply requirements (Type-C) are:
