Additional information:

1 Introduction

1.1 Application Note Usage Guidelines Schematic Design Guidelines and Review Checklist application note provides design guidelines that can be used during custom board schematic design as a guide and a schematic review checklist that can be used to review the custom board schematics.

1.1.1 Processor Family Specific Application Note This application note is for the AM62P family of processors covering AM62P, AM62P-Q1. The application notes covers the design guidelines and review checklist for a specific family of processors. This processor-family-specific application note is easy to use for the chosen family of processors.

1.1.2 Schematics Design Guidelines The application note provides guidelines for all the peripherals supported by AM62P processor family. Users can review and follow schematic design guidelines during the custom board schematic design. Along with the guidelines, links to FAQs are provided for use during custom board schematic design, thus reducing effort and minimizing error.

1.1.3 Schematic Review Checklist All the relevant peripheral or power sections in the application note includes checklists categorized as General, Schematic Review, and Additional. Users can use the checklist to do a self-review of the custom board schematics to minimize possible errors that can cause functional or performance issues resulting in increased board bring-up and testing time.

HI Board designers, 

Inputs related to Design guide for processor families:

The below referenced user guide includes design guidelines for Am62x, Am62A and Am62P. The user's guide can be used as a reference to understand the differences in the supported peripherals and instances. 

Schematic Design and Review Checklist combined for sitara processor families
www.ti.com/.../sprad21
AM62x, AM62Ax, AM62D-Q1 and AM62Px Processor Family Schematic, Design Guidelines and Review Checklist (Rev. I)

User's Guide For Processor Families
The user's guide covers AM62x (AM625, AM623, AM620-Q1, AM625-Q1, AM625SIP), AM62Ax (AM62A7,
AM62A7-Q1, AM62A3, AM62A3-Q1, AM62A1-Q1), AM62D-Q1 and AM62Px (AM62P, AM62P-Q1) processor
families.
The user's guide includes schematic design guidelines t that can be used during custom board design. The user's guide for processor families helps the custom board designers to understand implementation differences when migrating from one processor family to another processor family or from one processor package to another package.

Schematic Design Guidelines
The user's guide provides schematic design guidelines that can be used during custom board schematic design
phase to implement the circuit connections between the processor and peripherals supported by the selected
processor. Links to relevant FAQs have been added (as part of the guideline in each section) in addition to the
design guidelines. FAQs (links added) provide additional information on a specific peripheral or interface topic
including description and details on the implementation/use case and learning from customer interactions.
The recommendation is for custom board designers to follow the schematic design guidelines to minimize design
errors that can affect board functionality, performance and to optimize the custom board design/build/test efforts.

Schematic Review Checklist

The user guide links to processor family specific user;s guide for schematic review checklist.
