AM6412: How to deal with the reserved pin(RSVD)?

Hello Sirul,

Thank you for the query.

Please refer below summary table of the reserved pins.

The pins are recommended to be names as RSVD pins in the schematics symbol.

These pins have to be left unconnected (test points are also not recommended)

These pins have internal function, and it is recommended to follow the guidelines to not connect any trace to these pins.

Hi Sreenivasa,

On our SK-AM64B schematic, those RSVD pins are conncected to TP. If connected to TP, is there any consequence will affect the device running? Is there any workaround such as pull to ground could avoid?

Hello Sirul,

Thank you for the inputs.

Please note that the EVMs are an evaluation platform that could be used as reference but cannot be considered as a reference design.

Along with the EVM customer need to reviw the data sheet and the Errata for any updates that may be required.

The Pin connectivity table in the datasheet is one such example.

These RSVD pins have internal functions. The recommendation is to leave these pins unconnected. There is no workaround and these recommendations are required to be followed.

The effect of connection TP is not defined and the bset design approach is to leave unconnected.

Hello Sirul,

Adding additional inputs for clarity.

Note that the EVMs are actually created for performance evaluation before datasheets were available. Some of the reserved pins may have had test functions and the TPs might have been used for some internal testing.

Please follow the datasheet.
