Texas Instruments AM62D Arm-Based Processors

Texas Instruments AM62D Arm-Based Processors are targeted for applications needing high-performance Digital Signal Processing. Key cores on the device include a C7000™ (“C7x”) scalar and vector DSP core from Texas Instruments and the Arm® Cortex®-A53, a dedicated Matrix Multiplication Accelerator (MMA), and an isolated MCU island. All are protected by industrial and automotive-grade safety and security hardware accelerators.

Along with the C7x DSP core, the AM62Dx SoC integrates up to quad Arm Cortex-A53, providing an additional 16.8KDMIPS compute and HLOS flexibility of Linux or a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). Up to two Arm Cortex-R5F subsystems enable low-level, timing-critical processing tasks, leaving the Arm Cortex-A53 and DSP cores unencumbered for applications.

Integrated diagnostics and safety features support operations up to SIL-2 and ASIL-B levels, while the integrated security features protect data against modern-day attacks. The Texas Instruments AM62D device also offers a 3-port Gigabit Ethernet switch with Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) to enable audio networking features such as Ethernet Audio Video Bridging (eAVB) and Dante. In contrast, peripherals like the McASP enable multichannel I2S and TDM Audio inputs and outputs.
