AM2432: Pin connectivity Requirements for MMC1

Part Number: AM2432
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM6421

Tool/software:

Hi

I'm refering the data sheet(www.ti.com/.../am6421.pdf) chapter5.4 Pin Connectivity Requirements.

There is no information for MMC1 at there.

How each MMC1 pins should be treated when MMC1 is unused?

 

Thanks and Best regards,

Tsurumoto.

  • All of the pins associated with the MMC1 port default to an off state, so you do not need to do anything to them if not being used.

    See the highlighted portion of the following note, which can be found below the Pin Connectivity table.

    Internal pull resistors are weak and may not source enough current to maintain a valid logic level for some operating conditions. This can be the case when connected to components with leakage to the opposite logic level, or when external noise sources couple to signal traces attached to balls which are only pulled to a valid logic level by the internal resistor. Therefore, external pull resistors are recommended to hold a valid logic level on balls with external connections.

    Many of the device IOs are turned off by default and external pull resistors may be required to hold inputs of any attached device in a valid logic state until software initializes the respective IOs. The state of configurable device IOs are defined in the BALL STATE DURING RESET RX/TX/PULL and BALL STATE AFTER RESET RX/TX/PULL columns of the Pin Attributes table. Any IO with its input buffer (RX) turned off is allowed to float without damaging the device. However, any IO with its input buffer (RX) turned on shall never be allowed to float to any potential between VILSS and VIHSS. The input buffer can enter a high-current state which could damage the IO cell if allowed to float between these levels.

  • Thanks! Paul.

    I can understand it clearly now.
