3.4.3.6 SoC Power
The Core voltage of the AM64x SoC can be powered by 0.75 V or 0.8 V or 0.85 V based on
the power optimization requirement. It is recommended to use a single voltage source when the SoC
Core voltage (VDD_CORE) and SoC Array Core Voltage (VDDR_CORE) and other array core voltages
(VDDA_0P85_SERDES0_C, VDDA_0P85_SERDES0, VDDA_0P85_USB0, VDD_DLL_MMC0, VDD_MMC0) is
0.85 V. In cases where the SoC Core voltage is required to be 0.75 V or 0.8 V and SoC Array Core Voltage and
other Array Core voltages is required to be 0.85 V then there needs to be separate voltage supply for the SoC
Core voltage and an separate supply for the SoC Array Core voltages.
This EVM has a provision for providing single voltage supply or different voltage supply to the SoC Core
and SoC Array Core and other Array Core Voltages and based requirement. This can be configured by the
placement of resistors as mentioned in
.
Figure 3-8. Core Supply and Array Core Supply Options
The SoC has different IO groups. Each IO group is powered by specific power supplies as shown in
.
