The AM69, AM69A
scalable processor family is based on the evolutionary Jacinto™ 7 architecture, targeted at Smart Vision Camera applications and
built on extensive market knowledge accumulated over a decade of TI’s leadership in
the Vision processor market. The AM69x family is built for a broad set of
cost-sensitive high-performance compute applications in Factory Automation, Building
Automation, and other markets.
The AM69, AM69A
provides high performance compute technology for both traditional and deep learning
algorithms at industry leading power/performance ratios with a high level of system
integration to enable scalability and lower costs for advanced vision camera
applications. Key cores include the latest Arm and GPU processors for general
compute, next generation DSP with scalar and vector cores, dedicated deep learning
and traditional algorithm accelerators, an integrated next generation imaging
subsystem (ISP), video codec, and isolated MCU island. All protected by
industrial-grade safety and security hardware accelerators.
General Compute Cores and
Integration Overview: Two quad-core cluster configurations (8 cores total)
of Arm® Cortex®-A72 facilitate multi-OS applications with minimal need for a
software hypervisor. Up to two Dual-core (4 cores total) Arm® Cortex®-R5F subsystems
enable low-level, timing critical processing tasks to leave the Arm® Cortex®-A72
core’s unencumbered for applications. Building on the existing world-class ISP, TI’s
7th generation ISP includes flexibility to process a broader sensor suite, support
for higher bit depth, and features targeting analytics applications. Integrated
diagnostics and safety features support operations up to SIL-2 levels while the
integrated security features protect data against modern day attacks. CSI2.0 ports
enable multi sensor inputs.
Key Performance Cores Overview:
The C7000™ DSP next generation core (C7™) combines TI’s industry
leading DSP and EVE cores into a single higher performance core and adds
floating-point vector calculation capabilities, enabling backward compatibility for
legacy code while simplifying software programming. Four “MMAv2” deep learning
accelerators enable performance up to 32 Trillion Operations Per Second (TOPS)
[8TOPS per core] within the lowest power envelope in the industry, even when
operating even at the worst case junction temperatures of 105°C and 125°C. The
dedicated Vision hardware accelerators provide vision pre-processing with no impact
on system performance. The C7/MMA cores are available only for deep-learning
function in the AM69, AM69A class of processors.
