Design Notes
Decouple the 1.2V core supply and 3.3V I/O supplies with 0.1uF and 1uF ceramic capacitors placed close to the ball pads. Use a dedicated power plane to minimize impedance. The device requires a stable supply with low ripple; consider ferrite beads for noise isolation.
The AM2632-Q1 in a 324-NFBGA package dissipates heat through the PCB. Use at least 8 vias to a ground plane under the center ball area, and provide a solid copper pour on the bottom layer for heat spreading. In high-current designs, consider an airflow path to maintain junction temperature below 125C.
Place the oscillator crystals and clock circuits close to the device, and route the high-speed DDR or QSPI traces with controlled impedance. Keep the real-time control signal paths short and avoid crossing power planes. Use separate ground planes for analog and digital domains to reduce noise.
Compliance Information
AEC-Q100 qualified per Q1 suffix. RoHS compliant per TI product page. REACH and halogen-free status not explicitly mentioned in verified data.
