AM437x IDK Evaluation Hardware
2.3
Reset Signals
SYS_RESETn is a reset signal running to several peripherals and the AM437x which performs a reset on
those peripherals. SYS_WARMRESETn is asserted by the push button and used to force a reset of the
AM437x and the other peripherals. The AM437x can also pulldown on the RESET_INOUTn signal to
cause the SYS_RESETn line to go active. The power on reset to the processor is driven from the power
good signal of the power manager.

Power Supplies
This section describes how the power supplies required for the design are generated.
2.4.1
Power Source
The AM437x Industrial EVM uses an external 24-V power supply. The 24-V power input is converted into
different voltage levels using buck converters, to provide power input to the AM437x and other
peripherals. The power requirements of the processor are handled by the Quad Power Supervisor IC
TPS386000. The power on LED, D2, is on if the 3.3-V power is available. The power sequencing
requirements of the AM437X processor (see the AM437x data sheet) are handled automatically by the
TPS386000 Power Supervisor chip.
2.4.2
Power Management
The AM437x Industrial EVM uses the buck converters and power supervisor IC for power management.
The I2C0 on the AM437x is used to control the TPS62362 buck converter. For the AM437x Industrial
EVM,
lists the buck regulators that are used.
