1Introduction
This user's guide can be used as a reference for connectivity between the TPS65910Ax PMIC and the
AM335x processor. The TPS65910AA1 device is to support the AM335x processor with DDR2.
TPS65910A3A1 and TPS65910A31A1 devices are to support the AM335x processor with DDR3. This
user's guide does not provide details about the power resources or the functionality of the device. For
such information, refer to the full specification document, TPS65910 Data Manual.

2Connection Diagram and TPS65910Ax EEPROM Definition
Figure 1 shows the connection diagram between the processor and the TPS65910A or TPS65910A3.
Figure 2 shows the connection diagram between the processor and TPS65910A31.
Notes for connection diagram:
•To support the processor power-up sequence, connect BOOT0 to ground and BOOT 1 to VRTC to
select EEPROM boot mode.
•The TPS65910Ax digital control signal level is defined by the VDDIO connection.
•VAUX2 can support up to 300 mA for the specific case of a 3.3-V output level.
•The VDD1 and VDD2 connections shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 is valid for processor version ZCZ
(15 x 15). In ZCE (13 x 13), VDD_MPU and VDD_CORE are shorted internally. For ZCE, connect
VDD1 to VDD_MPU; VDD2 is free for system use.

Program DEVCTRL2_REG.SLEEPSIG_POL according to the GPIO level setting on the processor. This
can be set to active low or active high for SLEEP transitions. Software configuration allows specific power
resources to enter a low consumption state.
Set DEVCTRL_REG.DEV_SLP = 1 to allow SLEEP transitions when requested.
Update the GPIO0 configuration (GPIO0_REG) based on your needs.
3.2Define Wake-Up/Interrupt Event (SLEEP or OFF)
Select the appropriate bits in the INT_MSK_REG and INT_MSK2_REG registers to activate an interrupt to
the processor on the INT1 line.
3.3Backup Battery Configuration
If a backup battery is used, enable backup battery charging by setting the BBCH_REG.BBCHEN bit to 1.
The maximum charge voltage can be set based on the backup battery specifications by using the BBSEL
bits.
3.4DCDC and Voltage Scaling Resource Configuration
If the SmarReflex interface is not used for viltage scaling (power saving), these pins can be used to
control the power resources.
Configure two operating voltages for DCDC1 and DCDC2
•VDDx_OP_REG.SEL= Roof voltage (ENx ball high)
•VDDx_SR_REG.SEL = Floor voltage (ENx ball low)
Assign control for DCDC1 to SCLSR_EN1 and DCDC2 to SCLSR_EN2:
Configure the state of the LDOs when the SLEEP signal is used (by default all resources go into SLEEP
state; in SLEEP state the LDO voltage is maintained but transient and load capability are reduced).
Resources that must provide full load capability must be set in the SLEEP_KEEP_LDO_ON_REG register.
Resources that can be set off in SLEEP state to optimize power consumption must be set in the
SLEEP_SET_LDO_OFF_REG register.

The INT_STS_REG.VMBHI_IT bit indicates that the supply (VBAT) is connected (leaving the BACKUP or
NO SUPPLY state), the system must be initialized. (See Section 3, First Initialization.)
4.2INT_STS_REG.PWRON_IT
INT_STS_REG.PWRON_IT is triggered when the PWRON button is pressed. If device is in the OFF or
SLEEP state, this acts as a wake-up event and resources are reinitialized.
4.3INT_STS_REG.PWRON_LP_IT
INT_STS_REG.PWRON_LP_IT is the PWRON long-press interrupt. This interrupt is generated when the
PWRON button is pressed for 6 seconds. The application processor can make a decision to acknowledge
the interrupt. If this interrupt is not acknowledged in the next 2 seconds then the device interprets this as a
power-down event.
4.4INT_STS_REG.HOTDIE_IT
INT_STS_REG.HOTDIE_IT indicates that the temperature of die is reaching the maximum limit. Software
must take action to decrease the power consumption before automatic shutdown.
4.5INT_STS_REG.VMBDCH_IT
Event Management Through Interrupts
INT_STS_REG.VMBDCH_IT indicates that the input supply is low and the processor must prepare a
shutdown to prevent losing data. This interrupt is linked to VBAT but does not apply to a system where the
PMIC is connect to 5-V rails and not directly to VBAT.
4.6INT_STS2_REG.GPIO_R/F_IT
INT_STS2_REG.GPIO_R/F_IT is the GPIO interrupt event and can be used to wake up the device from
SLEEP state. This can be an interrupt coming from any peripheral device or alike. This wake-up event is
not valid for transitions from the OFF state.
4.7INT_STS_REG. RTC_ALARM_IT
INT_STS_REG. RTC_ALARM_IT is triggered when the RTC alarm set time is reached.

to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or

documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
