PRODUCTION DATA
The AM273x is a high performance microcontroller with an integrated C66x DSP and is ideally suited for applications needing requiring conditioning and processing functions. Two R5F cores (with optional lockstep capability) running at 400 MHz with 5MB of internal memory coupled along with a broad range of automotive and industrial connectivity peripherals and an easy to use SDK enables our customers to address a wide range of use cases in automotive and industrial markets. Functional safety and security (HSM) features are integrated to address emerging market trends.
One representative use case is for the AM273x to operate as the MCU host in an automotive radar system. In this role AM273x provides data aggregation, FFT, CFAR, range, velocity and angle estimation and tracking processing. The AM273x can operate as a host in single or dual (cascaded) front-end radar application.
As seen in Figure 3-1 the AM273x is divided into a few high level functional subsystems. Each subsystem contains specific control, signal processing, and digital communication peripherals.
Each primary subsystem is then interconnected through an ECC enabled, switch interconnect bus, allowing for EDMA transfer of data between peripherals and processing cores.
