AM62Ax is an extension of the Sitara™
automotive-grade family of heterogeneous Arm® processors with embedded Deep Learning (DL),
Video and Vision Processing acceleration, display interface and extensive automotive
peripheral and networking options. AM62Ax is built for a set of cost-sensitive automotive
applications including driver and in-cabin monitoring systems, next generation of eMirror
system, as well as a broad set of industrial applications in Factory Automation, Building
Automation, Robotics, and other markets. The cost optimized AM62Ax provides high-performance
compute for both traditional and deep learning algorithms at industry leading
power/performance ratios with a high level of system integration to enable scalability and
lower costs for advanced automotive platforms supporting multiple sensor modalities in
stand-alone Electronic Control Units (ECUs).
AM62Ax contains up to four Arm® Cortex®-A53
cores with 64-bit architecture, a Vision Processing Accelerator (VPAC) with Image Signal
Processor (ISP) and multiple vision assist accelerators, Deep Learning (DL) and video
accelerators, a Cortex®-R5F MCU Channel core and a Cortex®-R5F Device Management core. The
Cortex-A53s provide the powerful computing elements necessary for Linux applications as well
as the implementation of traditional vision computing based-algorithms such as driver
monitoring. Building on the existing world-class ISP, TI’s 7th generation ISP includes
flexibility to process a broader sensor suite including RGB-InfraRed (RGB-IR), support for
higher bit depth, and features targeting analytics applications. Key cores include the next
generation C7000™ DSP from Texas Instruments (“C7x”) with
scalar and vector cores, dedicated “MMA” deep learning accelerator enabling performance up
to 2 TOPS within the lowest power envelope in the industry when operating at the typical
automotive worst case junction temperature of 125°C.
The 3-port Gigabit Ethernet switch has one
internal port and two external ports with TSN support and can be used to enable industrial
networking options. In addition, an extensive peripherals set is included in AM62Ax to
enable system level connectivity such as USB, MMC/SD, Camera interface, OSPI, CAN-FD and
GPMC for parallel host interface to an external ASIC/FPGA. AM62Ax supports secure boot for
IP protection with the built-in HSM (Hardware Security Module) and also employs advanced
power management support for portable and power-sensitive applications.
