AM62P SK EVM utilizes an array of DC-DC converters to supply the various memories, clocks, SOC and other components/peripherals on the board with the necessary voltage and the power required.
The figure below figure shows the various discrete regulators, PMIC and LDOs used to source power rails for each peripheral on AM62P SK EVM.
The following sections describe the power distribution network topology that supplies the SK EVM board, supporting components and reference voltages.
The AM62P SK EVM includes a power design based on discrete power supply components. The initial stage of the power supply is VBUS voltage from either of the two USB Type C connectors J17 and J19. 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 LM5141-Q1 are used for the generation of 5 V and 3.3V respectively and the input to the regulators is the PD output, VMAIN. These 3.3V and 5 V are the primary voltages for the AM62P SK EVM board power resources. The 3.3V supply generated from the Buck regulator LM5141-Q1 is the input supply to the PMIC, various SOC regulators and LDOs. The 5 V 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 (TEST_POWERDOWN) is connected to the ENABLE pin of PMIC to control ON/OFF of the SK EVM via XDS110/Test automation. GPIO also disables the VCC_5V0 output of TPS630702RNMR from which several other power supplies are derived.
