TDA4VM: Hardware Considerations while selecting the Boot NOR Flash

Part Number: TDA4VM

Hi,

I would like to know list of technical specifications consider for selecting the NOR Boot Flash for TDAV4MID SOC.

Supply voltage=3.3V

Page Program size-128B

Sector size -4KB/8KB/64KB

Uniform Boot sector is preferred or not

Top or Bottom Boot.

Anything else??

Thanks-Arumugam

    I'm assuming you asked a related question to "https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/946418/faq-tda4vm-is-there-a-guide-to-choosing-the-right-ospi-flash-parts-that-are-supported-on-jacinto-7" 

    (i.e. you did review that FAQ which has the guide for choosing the correct flash part)

    There is an additional app note that might also be helpful:

  • Hi,

    We decided to go with 2Gb (4 die part) from Micron and the part# is MT35XU02GCBA1G12-0AUT. I have the below questions.

    • From our understanding, there will not be any timing information, other Electrical characteristics and software requirements changes, if Single die /quad die devices operating in SDR mode.
    • As per our timing analysis, the maximum frequency we can achieve as 100MHz for read and 125MHz for write to meet the set up and hold margin.

    Write Command

    • Does TDA4VM has the below feature for SPI. it will help to improve the set-up requirement.
  • The OSPI PHY SDR Mode timings will be improved in a future revision of the datasheet. Below are the values that will updated. Please evaluate your system timings using these values, and let me know if you have any questions.
