4.1.3.1 Power Management IC (PMIC) Based Power Architecture

The recommended PMICs for integrated power architecture includes TPS65224-Q1. Space, performance, and BOM (bill of materials) optimized power architecture can be designed using PMICs to power the processor and the attached devices.

The PMIC generates commonly used (required) supply rails for the AM62P, AM62P-Q1 processors and attached devices. PMIC OPNs (NVM configurations) are added based on the use case. nRSTOUT0 output of the PMIC goes high after the supplies ramp + the recommended MCU_PORz reset input delay time.

Note:

For automotive functional safety use cases, the recommendation is to connect MCU_I2C0 interface of the processor to PMIC (TPS65224 / TPS65222) I2C1 interface.

For PMIC based power architecture implementation (without functional safety), refer to the Starter Kit SK-AM62P-LP schematic.

For more information, see the Power-Supply Design for Sitara AM62A/P/D(-Q1) Using TPS6522430-Q1 and TPS6522230-Q1 PMICs application brief.
