14.2.1 1.2V Core Digital Power Key Layout Considerations - ZCZ

For AM26x ZCZ package devices, the 1.2V core digital power routing of the AM263x controlCARD EVM (TMDSCNCD263) is explored - from the 1.2V buck-converter (TPS62913RPUR, U65) through the board power planes and ending at the BGA bulk and per pin decoupling capacitor array.
  • AM263x, AM263Px, or AM261x must be co-located with the 1.2V core digital regulator to allow for minimal IR drop from the regulator to the BGA power pins.
  • Wide 15 mil traces must be used for all power and ground return via fan-out.
  • A dedicated power layer, with tightly coupled ground return reference plane must be used for best transient performance and EMI coupling.
  • A wide power plane entry into the center of the BGA 1.2V power pin areas must be used for minimal IR drop and best transient performance.
  • Larger packaged, lower-frequency, bulk capacitance must be placed adjacent to the BGA with vias directly to power plane paths.
  • Smaller packaged, higher-frequency decoupling capacitance must be placed directly on BGA fan-out vias with as small of a dog-bone to power and ground return vias as possible.
