AM2431: General device and peripheral questions

Matt Calvo

Part Number: AM2431

Hello,

I have a customer evaluating the AM2431 for their application and we have the following questions:

  • Is there Brown-out detection built in?
  • How many DMA channels does this device have?
  • Can the FSI peripheral be configured as a UART?

Thanks!

    Hey Matt,

    1) Yes, the AM243x contains Power-OK (POK) and Power-Good (PRG) peripherals capable of monitoring the various device voltage rails for Over/Under Voltage events. These events can trigger a device reset to ensure proper power-down sequencing. For additional details see the Device Configuration - Power chapter in the TRM.

    2) The AM243x uses the Data Movement Subsystem (DMSS) and designated Peripheral DMA's (PDMA). The DMSS consists of a Block Copy DMA (BCDMA) and Packet DMA (PKTDMA) each with there own set of DMA channels per core. The BCDMA has the following number of channels per core: 

    R5FSS0_0 = 6

    R5FSS0_1 = 2

    R5FSS1_0 = 4

    R5FSS1_1 = 2

    For additional details see the Data Movement Architecture chapter in the TRM.

    3) The FSI peripheral only supports a clock synchronous interface. It can support either FSI mode or SPI-compatibility mode. For additional details see the Peripherals - Industrial and Control Interface chapter in the TRM.

    Thank you for the feedback Zack! 

    FYI the link to the TRM above is broken so I'm pasting the correct link here for reference: https://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruim2
