Hello Conor,

Thank you for the query.

TI recommends starting a new thread for each topic that you may have for searchability and use by wider audience.

We expect the title to match the query again for searchability.

Please update the title as below

AM62A7: Power consumption and Ethernet interface

I will answer couple of queries and request you to start a new E2E thread for some of the queries.

Q1. There is less information regarding the power consumption of AM62Ax compared to AM62x. Do you have any information you can provide? I was able to find the following documentation.

Please refer below.

Based on customer queries we put together an FAQ that includes all the key collaterals customer could use when starting a customer design

Refer to the Hardware design and schematics design and review checklist.

Q2. According to the data sheet, it says that the external Ethernet port is 2 ports and the internal port is 1. What does that mean?

Thanks,

The Ethernet interface is provided by CPSW3G. This CPSW3G has an internal port ( Communications Port Programming Interface (CPPI) ) and 2 X external interface ports that can be configured for RGMII or RMII interface. They can be configured as independent MACs or as a switch.

Please refer to the hardware design guide.

Look for CPSW3G and Ethernet 

Conor said:

Also, do you have any advice or materials for designing with low consumption such as deep sleep? We plan to use the following peripherals.
・EMMC
・MIPI
・DSI
・I2C/SPI/UART

Please start a new thread on the queries related to the low power mode to assign to the experts.

Hello Conor,

I have the title updates as below for searchability and usability.
