AM263x Hardware Design Guide
This document intends to serve as a guide for hardware designers creating PCB systems based on the
AM263x family of MCU devices. This document serves to integrate device-specific schematic and PCB layout
recommendations and examples from the various AM263x evaluation modules (EVM) such as the LP-AM263
Launchpad
™
and TMDSCNCD263 controlCard, with the
Sitara™ Microcontroller Technical Reference Manual
