AM2434: Question on impedance matching for PRU GPIO

Keito Katafuchi

Part Number: AM2434

Tool/software:

What is the typical output impedance of one of the PRU GPIOs?

Specifically the two pins used for the EGPO shift-out functionality.

I want to minimize poor signal quality at high switching speeds, and matching trace impedances / minimizing parasitics is a good place to start.

Hello Keito Katafuchi

Thank you for the query.

The PRU IO buffer type is LVCMOS and the nominal impedance is 60R.

Hello Keito Katafuchi,

Please refer additional inputs i received from the expert.

The IOs associated with the LVCMOS buffer type have a typical source impedance of 60 ohms, and the IOs associated with the SDIO buffer types have a typical source impedance of 40 ohms. We do not define the source impedance range. The customer should use the IBIS models in a simulation if they need a better understanding the buffer drive capabilities.
