The EVM utilizes an array of DC-DC converters and linear regulators to power the processor, memories, and peripheral components with the necessary voltage and power required. The figure below shows the high level power architecture used on the EVM.
The power flow begins from an external supply connecting to the USB Type-C power connector [J24]. See Section 2.3 for specifics on external power supply requirements. The USB Power Delivery device (TPS25750D) negotiates the input voltage from 5V up to 20V depending upon input supply capability. The 1st Stage Power regulators then generate the EVMs primary power rails of 3.3Volts (LM5141-Q1), 5.0Volts (LM61480-Q1), and 12.0Volts (LM5141-Q1). A small 3.3Volt regulator (TPS62177) is used for management circuitry to control EVM ON/OFF features with push-buttons. Some of the on-board peripherals of the EVM have specific voltage and power requirements and are satisfied with several linear regulators (TPS74801-Q1).
The Power Management IC (TPS6522311-Q1) is specifically designed to meet the voltage, power, and sequencing requirements of the processor. The PMIC includes the capability to manage supplemental regulators and is capable of meeting ASIL-B safety requirements. The low voltage, high current power rail of the processor is sourced from a stackable SMSP regulator (TPS62875-Q1) to allow for power design size optimization based on the specific applications power needs. This specific PDN implementation includes additional power resources to support advance low power modes such as IO and DDR Retention. Additional power resources are also included to provide the ability to demonstrate both high performance use-cases (operating at 0.85V) and the lower power or performance use cases (operating at 0.75V).
