AM6548BACDXEAF

Overview

The AM6548BACDXEAF is a Sitara processor featuring dual Arm Cortex-A53 cores at up to 1.1 GHz and dual Arm Cortex-R5F cores at 400 MHz. It includes a PowerVR SGX544-MP1 GPU, three PRU_ICSSG subsystems, and 2MB of on-chip SRAM with ECC. The device supports DDR4 memory via a 32-bit bus and offers extensive connectivity including PCIe, USB 3.1, and Gigabit Ethernet. Packaged in a 784-pin FCBGA, it operates from -40°C to +105°C.

Feature Summary

• Functional safety compliance supporting IEC 61508 SIL 3 systematic capability
• Three industrial communication subsystems for multi-protocol fieldbus support
• Hardware-enforced security with secure boot and cryptographic acceleration
• Integrated display and multimedia processing capabilities

Applications

• Industrial Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)
• Factory automation with safety functions
• Human Machine Interface (HMI)
• Grid infrastructure protection relays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific silicon revision and functional safety designation when ordering. Confirm that the required package type matches the design constraints. Ensure all relevant documentation, including safety manuals and software SDKs, are obtained prior to production implementation.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high-performance industrial control combined with functional safety certification. Consider the AM6526 variant if fewer processor cores or no GPU are sufficient for the system requirements.

Part Context
