AM625: 1.599GHz Radiation reduction

Part Number: AM625

Customer scanned radiation over AM625x package, there is a frequency point 1.599GHz radiation exceeded as below picture

TThe arrow point to Pin 1, the radiation center is among DDR pin map, I guess it is DDR controller inside here. 

Customer tried 750MHz DDR frequency, but the radiation frequency point doesn't change to follow DDR frequency.

Where is the 1.599MHz frequency comes from?

Suggestion to overcome the radiation? can it use SSC?

  • Hello Tony

    Thank you for the query

    Where is the 1.599MHz frequency comes from?

    Can you elaborate the setup - is this a probe that customer used.

    Can you please confirm the core frequency.

    Can you please share additional details on the peripherals customer is using.

    Suggestion to overcome the radiation? can it use SSC?

    SS is currently supported only for DPI interface.

  • Can you elaborate the setup - is this a probe that customer used.

    The setup is as the picture, the probe scan the board to figure out the radiation point.

    Can you please confirm the core frequency.

    1.25GHz.

    Can you please share additional details on the peripherals customer is using

    R5F:400MHz, tried 333MHz, doesn't help.

    Main Domain:

    DDR: 800MHz, tried 750MHz.

    CPSW, RGMII, 250MHz ->100MHz.

    QSPI0: 200MHz ->50MHz.

    eMMC0: HS200

    PRU: 200MHz. 

    ePWM0/1/2: 250MHz

    eCAP1/2 125MHz -> 1KHz fan

    McSPI0 50MHz slave

    UART0 48MHz

    MCU_I2C0: 96MHz -> 400KHz

    MCU_McSPI0 50MHz -> 10MHz.

    MCU_UART0: 48MHz -> 115200bps

    MCU_RTI0: 12.5MHz.

    WKUP_UART0: 48MHz -> 115200bps

    GPT timer: 25MHz

    WKUP_TIMER0: 25MHz/8=3.125MHz.
