2.2.3 AVS Control

The AM571x processor consumes most of its power in its core logic. Therefore, minimizing the voltage supplied to this core logic can minimize power consumption. SmartReflex™ technology is used to provide this optimized solution.

This core logic is separated into multiple segments that can each be controlled separately. In this way, applications that need more performance in some processing blocks can operate at higher performance levels by increasing the supply voltage, while other processing blocks that do not require the same level of performance can operate at lower voltage thus further optimizing system power consumption.

The TPS6590377 PMIC is connected to the I2C1 on the AM5718 processor. This allows the application software to individually control the AVS supply outputs. It also allows the application to control the voltage generated by LDO1 that is used for the SDIO interface that operates at either 1.8V or 3.3V depending on the operating mode.
