AM2612: SDFM Pinmux For AM261

Part Number: AM2612

Hi Experts,

I am planning to use the LP-AM261x to evaluate SDFM current measurements using PRU and HW IP together with AMC3306. 
Can I use any PRU pin to generate the CLK and Datastream input pin ? 

Currently I am planning to use (PR1_PRU1_GPIO11 & PR1_PRU0_GPIO_1) which are pinned out at the Launchpad. 
Is that possible ? Or is there any limitation (like Pins need to come from the same PRU slice) ? 

Regards,
Alex

    How do you plan to generate the clock, and which source will you use? You cannot select any pins, it depends on the clock source you choose

  • Hi Achala,
    CLK signal is supposed to come from AM261x to provide to AMC3306.

  • There are multiple options. We have on AM243x, the same configuration and corresponding pins can be used on AM261x also, but there are overlaps with SDFM pins.

    1. GPIO: PRG_PRU1/0_GPI1. Trade-off: Overlaps with SD0 channel so you will lose one SD channel.

    2. IEP SYNC out: SYNC0 and SYNC1 out pins: IEP0 SYNC_OUT0 or IEP0 SYNC_OUT1. Both can be used in the case of phase compensation. There is a conflict between SDFM channel 8 data PIN and IEP0 SYNC_OUT1.

    3. ECAP: PRGx_ECAP0_IN_APWM_OUT signal, no overlap with SD pins.

    Also at SOC level, EPWM can be used to generate clock, Pins selection will depend on which EPWM instance you select
