Features

Deep Learning Acceleration

Deep Learning Accelerator with on chip DSP (2 TOPS C7x256v)

Vision and Video Acceleration

4 Lane MIPI CSI camera with H264/H265 Video Encode/Decode up to 4k@30

Security

Work with PHYTEC to add Secure Boot to your application. All phyCORE-AM62A SOMs have the ability to burn security keys to the processor and establish root-of-trust by signing software images to ensure only trusted code is run on your device.

Real-time capable

Due to the heterogeneous architecture of the TI AM62A processor, you can run the majority of your application using Linux and off load critical components to the specialized low latency best-in-class real-time Cortex-R5 core.

The AM62Ax Processor

Texas Instruments AM62A/AM62A-Q1 Arm®-Based Processors are part of the automotive-grade family of heterogeneous Arm processors. These processors include embedded Deep Learning (DL), vision processing acceleration and video, display interface, and extensive automotive peripheral and networking options. The AM62A/AM62A-Q1processors are built for in-cabin monitoring systems and drivers, the next generation of eMirror systems, building automation, and factory automation. These AM62A-Q1 processors are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.

The AM62A/AM62A-Q1 processors include an extensive peripheral set to enable system-level connectivity such as USB, camera interface, MMC/SD, OSPI, CAN-FD, and GPMC for parallel host interface to an external ASIC/FPGA. These processors support a secure boot for IP protection with the built-in Hardware Security Module (HSM). The AM62A/AM62A-Q1 processors employ advanced power management support for portable and power-sensitive applications.
