2.2.5 I2C Interface

The AM273x SoC supports three I2C interfaces: MSS_I2CA, RCSS_I2CA, and RCSS_I2CB. The MSS_I2CA lines are muxed out of the controller by default, while the RCSS_I2CA and RCSS_I2CB lines require pin muxing to be accessible. Information regarding the locations of the I2C modules for the AM273x can be found in the Pin Attributes section of the AM273x data sheet.

  • MSS_I2CA Interface:
    • Default pins:
      • MSS_I2CA_SDA: F16
      • MSS_I2CA_SCL: F18
    • Identify the EVM through the Board ID memory device (CAV24C02WE-GT3)
    • Read 1.2V, 1.8V, and 3.3V digital supply current sensors
    • Read 1.2V SRAM supply current sensor
    • Read temp sensor
    • Interface with 60 pin debug connector

  • RCSS_I2CA:
    • Not available on the AM273x EVM by default
  • RCSS_I2CB:
    • Not available on the AM273x EVM by default
