3.2.1.2 Boot modes
The AM335x provides a ROM with integrated boot loader. After power-up the boot code initialises the hardware and then loads the program image from the selected boot device. The integrated eMMC can be selected as standard boot device for the TQMa335xL. More external boot devices are available as an alternative to eMMC. Information thereto can be found in the AM335x Data Sheet (1) and the AM335x Reference Manual (3). The AM335x supports so-called boot-sequences, i.e. if it fails to boot from the first boot device, it will try to boot from the next
one automatically.
Table 3: Boot sequence
Boot Sequence
MMC0 / SD SPI0 / NOR (not available on TQMa335xL) UART0 / n.a. USB0 / n.a.
MMC1/ eMMC MMC0 / SD UART0 / n.a. USB0 / n.a.
SPI0 / NOR (not available on TQMa335xL) MMC0 / SD USB0 / n.a. UART0 / n.a.
The boot device and its configuration as well as other AM335x settings have to be done via Boot Mode Register SYSBOOT. The register SYSBOOT is read during reset from pins LCD_DATA[15:0].
Attention: Malfunction
On the carrier board must be ensured that even in the third and fourth boot sequence no pins drive against each other!
The settings for other boot devices are to be taken from the AM335x Data Sheet (1).

3.2.3 AM335x-RTC, PMIC-RTC

Both the AM335x and the PMIC on the TQMa335xL provide an RTC, which have their own power domain VRTC. The RTC power domain VRTC of the CPU is supplied by the PMIC through an internal regulator. The PMIC is either supplied by VIN (VCC3V3IN), or through the PMIC backup supply pin VBACKUP_PMIC,
which is routed to TQMa335xL pad C9. The PMIC can charge a battery or a SuperCap connected through TQMa335xL pad C9. Charging methods and electrical characteristics are to be taken from the PMIC User’s Guide (6). The typical current consumption of the PMIC_RTC is approximately 20 µA @ 3 V. The accuracy of the RTC is mainly determined by the characteristics of the quartz used. The 32.768 kHz crystal type FC-135 used
on the TQMa335xL has a standard frequency tolerance of ±20 ppm @ +25 °C. (Parabolic coefficient: max. –0.04 × 10
–6
/ °C2.)
Note: Current consumption
Long-term bridging with a coin cell is not possible due to the high current consumption of the PMIC-RTC. Depending on the use case a Li coin cell or a SuperCap can be used.

3.2.6 WDOG

The AM335x provides a Watchdog Timer. If the Watchdog-Timer is active and not reset within the specified time, a reset is signalled to the PRCM. The PRCM then triggers a Warm-Reset. More information can be found in the AM335x Reference Manual (3).

3.2.7 Power supply

3.2.7.1 Main power supply
The input voltage for the TQMa335xL is 3.3 V ±3 %. All I/O voltages have a fixed supply voltage of 3.3 V.
Illustration 10: Block diagram power supply
3.2.7.2 Overview TQMa335xL supply
The given current consumption has to be seen as an approximate value. To estimate the power consumption of the system, the Texas Instruments Application Note AM335x Power Consumption
Summary should be taken note of, as the current consumption of the TQMa335xL strongly depends on the application,
the mode of operation and the operating system. The following table shows some technical parameters of the TQMa335xL supply and power consumption.
Table 34: Parameter TQMa335xL supply
Parameter Value typ. Remark
Supply voltage VIN 3.3 V ±3 % for TQMa335xL without extended voltage supervision
Supply voltage VIN 3.3 V ±2 % for TQMa335xL with extended voltage supervision
Power consumption Linux (idle) ~ 1.2 W AM335x 800 MHz / BSP without power management
Power consumption Linux (100 %) ~ 1.8 W AM335x 800 MHz / BSP without power management
Power consumption standby ~ 210 mW AM335x 800 MHz / BSP without power management

3.2.7.3 Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS)
The combination of AM335x and PMIC TPS65910A31 supports Adaptive Voltage Scaling (AVS) based on Smart Reflex. The function is very limited due to several errata!
3.2.7.4 Voltage supervision
The TQMa335xL is available with several voltage supervision options.
On the primarily manufactured version of the TQMa335xL a MAX803 with a trigger level of 3.08 V monitors the supply voltage. Below 3.08 V a PORESET# is triggered at the AM335x.
On a second version of the TQMa335xL all voltages, except the DVS-capable voltages VDDS_MPU and VDDS_CORE are monitored. If one of these voltages falls below the permitted level a PORESET# is triggered at the AM335x.
On a third version of the TQMa335xL undervoltage and overvoltage of the supply voltages are monitored. If one of these voltages fall below or exceed the permitted level a PORESET# is triggered at the AM335x.
3.2.7.5 TQMa335xL / carrier board Power-Up sequence
Since the AM335x is very sensitive to cross-supply it has to be ensured that the components on the carrier board are not supplied by the I/O-voltages (VDDSHV) during power-up.
With the procedure described above it is certified that the pull-ups on the carrier board are already supplied with voltage when the boot-configuration pins are read.
Attention: Power-Up sequence
Illustration 11: Block diagram power supply carrier board
To avoid cross-supply and errors in the power-up sequence, no I/O pins may be driven by external components until the power-up sequence has been completed.
The end of the power-up sequence is indicated by a high level of signal VDDSHV.

Operational safety and personal security

As an embedded module the TQMa335xL is not protected against dust, external impact and contact (IP00). Adequate protection has to be guaranteed by the surrounding system.
To cool the TQMa335xL, a maximum of 2 W have to be dissipated. The power dissipation originates primarily in the AM335x and the DDR3L SDRAM. The power dissipation mainly depends on the software used and can vary according to the application. It is the customer’s responsibility to define a suitable cooling method for his use case. In most cases passive cooling should be sufficient. For further information see Texas Instruments Application Notes (4), (5).
Attention: Destruction or malfunction, TQMa335xL cooling
The TQMa335xL has to be soldered on the carrier board. Please contact TQ-Support for soldering instructions (10).
The AM335x belongs to a performance category in which a cooling system is essential. It is the user’s sole responsibility to define a suitable heat sink (weight and mounting position)
depending on the specific mode of operation (e.g., dependence on clock frequency, stack height, airflow, and software).
Particularly the tolerance chain (PCB thickness, board warpage, BGA balls, BGA package, thermal pad, heatsink) as well as the maximum pressure on the AM335x must be taken into consideration when connecting the heat sink, see (5). The AM335x is not necessarily the highest component.
Inadequate cooling connections can lead to overheating of the TQMa335xL and thus malfunction, deterioration or destruction.
The TQMa335xL was developed according to the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Depending on the target system, anti-interference measures may still be necessary to guarantee the adherence to the limits for the overall system.
Following measures are recommended:
In order to avoid interspersion on the signal path from the input to the protection circuit in the system, the protection against electrostatic discharge should be arranged directly at the inputs of a system. As these measures always have to be implemented on the carrier board, no special preventive measures were planned on the TQMa335xL.
Following measures are recommended for a carrier board:
Robust ground planes (adequate ground planes) on the printed circuit board
A sufficient number of blocking capacitors in all supply voltages
Fast or permanent clocked lines (e.g., clock) should be kept short; avoid interference of other signals by distance and/or
shielding besides, take note of not only the frequency, but also the signal rise times
Filtering of all signals, which can be connected externally (also "slow signals" and DC can radiate RF indirectly)
Generally applicable: Shielding of the inputs (shielding connected well to ground / housing on both ends)
Supply voltages: Protection by suppressor diode(s)
Slow signal lines: RC filtering, Zener diode(s)
Fast signal lines: Integrated protective devices (e.g., suppressor diode arrays)
Due to the occurring voltages (3.3 V DC), tests with respect to the operational and personal safety haven’t been carried out.

Reliability and service life

The temperature range, in which the TQMa335xL works reliably, strongly depends on the installation situation (heat dissipation by heat conduction and convection); hence, no fixed value can be given for the whole assembly.
In general, a reliable operation is given when following conditions are met:

regulation.
Within the scope of the technical possibilities, the TQMa335xL was designed to be recyclable and easy to repair.
The EU-chemical regulation 1907/2006 (REACH® regulation) stands for registration, evaluation, certification and restriction of substances SVHC (Substances of very high concern, e.g., carcinogen, mutagen and/or persistent, bio accumulative and toxic). Within the scope of this juridical liability, TQ-Systems GmbH meets the information duty within the supply chain with regard to the SVHC substances, insofar as suppliers inform TQ-Systems GmbH accordingly.
The Ecodesign Directive, also Energy using Products (EuP), is applicable to products for the end user with an annual quantity >200,000. The TQMa335xL must therefore always be seen in conjunction with the complete device.
The available standby and sleep modes of the components on the TQMa335xL enable compliance with EuP requirements for the TQMa335xL.
No batteries are used on the TQMa335xL.
By environmentally friendly processes, production equipment and products, we contribute to the protection of our environment. To be able to reuse the TQMa335xL, it is produced in such a way (a modular construction) that it can be easily repaired and disassembled. The energy consumption of this subassembly is minimised by suitable measures. The TQMa335xL is delivered in reusable packaging.
The energy consumption of this subassembly is minimised by suitable measures. Because currently there is still no technical equivalent alternative for printed circuit boards with bromine-containing flame
protection (FR-4 material), such printed circuit boards are still used. No use of PCB containing capacitors and transformers (polychlorinated biphenyls). These points are an essential part of the following laws:
The law to encourage the circular flow economy and assurance of the environmentally acceptable removal of waste as at 27.9.94 (Source of information: BGBl I 1994, 2705)
Regulation with respect to the utilization and proof of removal as at 1.9.96 (Source of information: BGBl I 1996, 1382, (1997, 2860))
Regulation with respect to the avoidance and utilization of packaging waste as at 21.8.98 (Source of information: BGBl I 1998, 2379)
Regulation with respect to the European Waste Directory as at 1.12.01 (Source of information: BGBl I 2001, 3379)
This information is to be seen as notes. Tests or certifications were not carried out in this respect.
