AM3715CBCD100 datasheet by Texas Instruments

AM3715CBCD100 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-on sequence for the AM3715CBCD100?
  The recommended power-on sequence is to power up the core voltage (VDD_CORE) first, followed by the I/O voltage (VDD_MPU) and then the PLL voltage (VDD_PLL). This sequence helps prevent latch-up and ensures proper device operation.
• How do I configure the clock sources for the AM3715CBCD100?
  The AM3715CBCD100 has multiple clock sources, including an internal oscillator, external crystal oscillator, and PLL. The clock sources can be configured using the Clock Control Module (CCM) registers. Refer to the datasheet and the OMAP35xx TRM (Technical Reference Manual) for detailed configuration information.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AM3715CBCD100?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the AM3715CBCD100 is -40°C to 85°C. However, it's essential to ensure that the device is operated within the recommended temperature range to maintain optimal performance and reliability.
• How do I implement power management on the AM3715CBCD100?
  The AM3715CBCD100 has various power management features, including dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, power gating, and sleep modes. Implement power management by configuring the Power and Sleep Controller (PSC) registers and using the SmartReflex power management technology.
• What are the considerations for PCB design and layout when using the AM3715CBCD100?
  When designing a PCB with the AM3715CBCD100, consider the following: use a 4-layer or 6-layer PCB, follow the recommended land pattern and ball grid array (BGA) layout, ensure proper decoupling and power distribution, and minimize signal integrity issues by following the datasheet's guidelines.
