AM2432: Power Related Pins

Part Number: AM2432

Hi Team,

My customer had the following concerns regarding power pins. Refer to image below.

  1. About the Power Supply Signal Descriptions table and Pin Attributes table of AM243x datasheet.
    In Rev.B datasheet, these tables say Ball A5, A6(ALV package) are VSS.but in Rev.C datasheet, these tables say Ball A5, A6 are not included in VSS group.
    On the other hand, Pin Diagram(Bottom View) - ALV package of both RevB and RevC say A5, A6 are VSS pin.
    Are ball A5 and A6 VSS?.
  2. It seems that information on power supply signal VDDSHV0-5 have inconsistency between Rev.B and Rev.C. For examble ball G12, G14 are VDDSHV0 pin acording to Pin diagram(Bottom View)(ALV package) of Rev.C datasheet. but there are no G12, G14 in item VDDSHV0 of Power Supply Signal Description table of Rev.C datasheet. 
  3. Why does Rev.c datasheet have 31 balls missing?

Best regards,

Mari Tsunoda

  • Hey Mari,

    1) Yes A5 and A6 are VSS pins. I will review why they were not included in the VSS list of the Signal Descriptions table or the Pin Attributes table.

    2) Similar to above, It seems that some signals were removed from the associated Signal Descriptions table. You are correct they VDDSHV0. We will resolve this issue immediately.

    3) Can you verify the 31 balls that are not seen in the table? Obviously they are included in the Pin Diagram, but I want to be sure so we can trace them to the associated tables.

  • Hi Zackary,

    Thank you for your responses. Regarding q3, 

    /cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/908/AM243x_5F00_ALV_5F00_ALX_5F00_PinAttributes.xlsx

    this is the link to the table. I'm not sure which balls are not listed, but when the table is sorted to only list ALV Balls, there are only 410 rows. I'm assuming there should be 21x21=441 balls.

    Best regards,

    Mari 

  • Hello Mari,

    It was correct that 31 balls were missing from the tables, these are confirmed below:

    AM243x_ALV:

    Pin Signal Missing Pins Count Cumulative
    VSS A5, A6 2 2
    VDDA_0P85_SERDES0 P13 1 3
    VDDR_CORE M13 1 4
    VDDSHV0 G12, G14 2 6
    VDDSHV1 N6, P7 2 8
    VDDSHV2 R10, T9 2 10
    VDDSHV3 P15 1 11
    VDDSHV4 M15 1 12
    VDDSHV5 L15 1 13
    VDDSHV_MCU G10, G8 2 15
    VDDS_DDR G6, H7, J6, K7, L6 5 20
    VDDS_MMC0 K14 1 21
    VDD_CORE J12, K11, K9, L12, L8, M11, M9, N10, N8, P9 10 31

    These corrections will be included in the next datasheet release. I have attached the updated AM243x PinMux Excel spreadsheet below.
