1 Introduction
This application note is intended for engineers to understand the power management system of
OSD335x-SM. It is also intended to aid in power budgeting for systems using the OSD335x-SM. It
provides an overview of the power management system inside the OSD335x-SM and runs through an
example application power budgeting procedure.
The OSD335x-SM contains the TPS65217C Power Management Integrated Circuit(PMIC) and the TL5209
Low Drop-Out(LDO) regulator as well as all associated passives for power management. The PMIC is
responsible for powering the AM335x processor and the DDR3 as well as provide output power for other
system needs. It provides configurable power-up and power-down sequencing required by the
processor and monitors the processor input voltage levels. The PMIC contains 3 DC-DC power
converters, 2 LDOs and 2 load switches that can be configured as LDOs that can be used as power
supplies. It can be powered by any combination of a 5V AC adapter, USB port, or Single Cell Li-Ion
battery. Figure 1 shows the power system of OSD335x-SM including connections between the PMIC and
various power domains of the processor.
Figure 1: Power connections inside OSD335x-SM
The OSD335x-SM allows the I/O voltage domains (VDDSHVx) of the AM335x to be set to either 1.8V or 3.3V.
The VDDSHVx pins of the OSD335x-SM (ie VDDSHV1 thru VDDSHV6), which can be found in Table 5.5, must be
connected to either a 1.8V or 3.3V power source in order to provide power to the I/Os. Recommendations on
how to connect the I/O voltage domain pins is in the OSD335x-SM Layout Guide in the Reference Documents
section. See the AM335x datasheet in the Reference Documents section for more information on the pins
associated with each I/O voltage domain.

3 Power Up Sequence
The power-up sequence of the processor is shown below in Figure 2, with the numbers in red
representing the order in which they come up, and the main power up events are described below:
Figure 2: AM335x + PMIC power up sequence for OSD335x-SM
1. SYS_RTC_1P8V is activated.
2. PMIC_OUT_LDO_PGOOD rail which is connected externally to the processor’s RTC_PWRONRSTN
(Power on reset of RTC domain) is pulled high to indicate presence of right voltages for the RTC
domain of the processor to power-up.
3. RTC circuitry in the processor comes up and pulls the PMIC_IN_PWR_EN signal high instructing
the PMIC to start power-up sequence. The output of DCDC1 (VDDS_DDR) which powers the DDR
memory is also activated.
4. Output of LDO3 (SYS_VDD_1P8V) is activated
5. Output of LDO2 (SYS_VDD2_3P3V) is activated
6. Output of LDO4 (SYS_VDD3_3P3V) is activated
7. Outputs of DCDC2 (VDD_MPU) and DCDC3 (VDD_CORE) are activated
8. PMIC_OUT_PGOOD which is connected externally to the processor’s PWRONRSTN (Power on
reset of AM335x) of the processor is pulled high releasing the processor from reset.

This power up sequence and delays between each step of the sequence are already programmed
into the PMIC inside the OSD335x so you don’t need to worry about it. The power-down sequence
follows the reverse order of the power-up sequence.
3.1 Additional functions of the PMIC
The PMIC also performs some tertiary functions. A few of the key functions are listed below. For a
complete explanation of all the functions provided by the TPS65217C PMIC refer to the datasheet.
1. The PMIC retrieves the processor from OFF or SLEEP mode upon detecting a falling edge on
PMIC_IN_PB_IN. It also power cycles the processor if PMIC_IN_PB_IN is held low for more than
8 seconds.
2. It provides an active low wake up signal (PMIC_OUT_NWAKEUP) which is de-asserted when a
wakeup event is detected.
3. The PMIC has an interrupt pin (PMIC_OUT_NINT) to signal an event or fault condition to the
processor. The pin is released when the processor reads the INT register.
4. PMIC provides a linear charger for Single Cell Li-Ion batteries and allows charging of the battery
and powering of the system at the same More information can be obtained from the datasheet.
5. The TPS65217C provides protection to the AM335x and itself in the event of catastrophic
situations like an unexpected short or excessive current leakage.
6. It monitors the functioning of a battery if one is connected and charges the battery when
possible.
Now that the function and of the PMIC and its relationship with the processor is clear, the process of
power budgeting discussed below can be better understood.
4 Power Budgeting: How to Approach it?
It is a good practice to make a power budget for your product/design at the beginning of the project.
Good power budgeting contributes to circuit robustness, increased product life and reduced cost of the
product. A power budget should include the availability of power, operating temperature, amount of
data collected, communication, and operation modes of the processor.
4.1 Step 1: Creating a Power Diagram
The first step in making a power budget is to have a power diagram that shows all the power paths of
the system. Start with all the available power sources for the system. For OSD335x, this would include
power rails that are described in the datasheet as output power supplies. There are six output power
rails on the OSD335x including a 2.75V 5.5 output (SYS_VOUT), three 3.3V outputs (SYS_VDD1_3P3V,
SYS_VDD2_3P3V and SYS_VDD3_3P3V) and three 1.8V outputs (SYS_RTC_1P8V, SYS_VDD_1P8V and
SYS_ADC_1P8V).
Perk:
Range of SYS_VOUT is determined by input power supply voltage. For example, if the SiP is being powered
through a battery (VIN_BAT), SYS_VOUT can be 2.75 V 5.5 V depending on the battery voltage. Due to the
dropout behavior of the LDO TL5209, its output voltage rail SYS_VDD1_3P3V should not be used when the
OSD335x is being powered through VIN_BAT. Please refer to the TL5209 datasheet for details.

Next, put in the power consuming components and connect them to the appropriate power rail. The
connection should be based on the voltage input level for the component. Current supply capacities of
the power rails and ease of use can also be factors for choosing the best power rail for the component.
In order to understand this process, let us use the OSD3358-SM-RED Platform. The board provides
access to many peripherals of OSD335x-SM and has a number of external components powered by the
OSD335x-SM. Figure 3 shows the completed power system diagram for the design. It shows most of the
components that draw at least a nominal amount of power.
The diagram not only shows the power rail for a particular component but also lists all the components
that are being powered by a power rail. In addition to helping with the power budgeting, this allows you
to identify power issues early in the design process and make necessary adjustments.

4.2 Step 2: Creating a Power Budget
The next step involves making a power budget to estimate power consumption of each component and
thus the total power consumption of the board.
4.2.1 Maximum Power
There are several challenges involved in accurately estimating the power consumption of each
component. For example, it is difficult to estimate how much current, the AM3358 processor and the
DDR Memory draw since that is highly application specific. Power consumption will also depend on the
presence of a USB device or a Micro SD card. To account for all situations, we can start out by assuming
maximum power consumption for all the components. Table 2 shows the power budget table for
OSD3358-SM-RED assuming maximum power consumption for each component.

**SDIN8DE2-16G datasheet is not available on the internet. So, an equivalent datasheet was used to
determine current consumption

Maximum current consumption values can be found from the component datasheets for most devices.
However, there is no deterministic way of calculating the current consumed by the AM335x and the
DDR3 as they are highly application specific. The next two sections will explore how to use tools
provided by TI and Micron to estimate the max power used by the AM335x and DDR.

filling out a spreadsheet and submitting it to a webpage. The detailed procedure is described in the wiki
page “AM335x Power Estimation Tool”. A short overview of the process with notes on usage with the
OSD335x is given below. The inputs shown in the screenshots were put in to calculate the maximum
power consumption of AM335x.

Like the AM335x spreadsheet, Micron provides a spreadsheet to estimate DDR3L power consumption.
Though the exact power consumption depends on the part number of the memory, the spreadsheet
serves as a ball park estimation tool. A brief use case of the spreadsheet is shown below.

4. The “Summary” page will show the power consumption summary for previously entered inputs.
Figure 11: DDR3 power consumption summary
From the results, the worst case current consumption was calculated to be 339 mA with 1.5 V input
4.2.2 Refining the Power Budget
Some of the current consumption numbers are highly unrealistic. No system uses all the processor cores
and peripherals at a 100% utilization. The DDR current consumption is calculated assuming 100% of the
time is spent writing to the memory with lowest ACT command interval. So, while it is safe to use these
figures to assume worst case load, the system would be vastly over-designed. It is better to build a
second power budget table with typical current consumptions and a more application specific scenario
while keeping the previous version in mind.

Table 3 shows an application specific power budget table in which the processor is operated in
conditions described in Table 4. All the other peripherals and features are assumed to be disabled in this
scenario and ‘typical’ current consumption values from component datasheets are used rather than
‘maximum’ current consumption values.

Note that the utilization percentages of each feature/peripheral of the AM335x processor are still high.
This is done to leave ourselves some head room if the board runs into an unexpected scenario. Similarly,
the RAM usage is also safely assumed to have a 20% page hit rate, a 10ns interval between ACT
commands, 30% of the time spent reading from RAM and 30% of the time writing to the RAM. Also,
observe that several components of the board are not in use and so are left out of Table 3.

4.3 Step 3: Tally Up
Thus, we have an extreme scenario and an application specific application scenario for our power
budget. The usage scenarios should now be stacked up to the supply capacities of output power rails of
OSD335x that we outlined in step 1 to make sure everything checks out. Given below are the conditions
that need to be verified and corresponding usage on the OSD3358 SBC reference design from the
datasheet:

From Table 5, although SYS_VOUT current consumption looks like it touches the maximum
recommended output current, it is highly unlikely to have a USB device that would draw 500mA in the
application. The extreme condition input current exceeds the USB input current limit. But, there are
alternative input power paths(AC and BAT) that can mitigate this issue even though the scenario will
never occur. The load current for the SYS_VDD1_3P3V voltage rail also exceeds the output current limit
in the extreme scenario. So, that voltage rail may fail if components begin to draw maximum specified
currents. But, the application specific current draws taken into account while designing the board are
significantly lower than the limits. More weight was placed on the application scenario vs theoretical
maximum current consumptions during the design. As can be seen from Table 5, there is enough room
for the board to be able to deal with most unexpected situations of high current consumption in an
application scenario.
While this board presents no problems in power analysis for an application, there might be situations
where the current draws are close or exceed the power rail limits in a design. In this case, alternative
approaches to design can solve the problem. The OSD335x has multiple rails of 1.8V and 3.3V. So,
spreading out the total current consumption of all the parts among the available power rails can be a
Perk:
By default, VIN_USB is limited to 500mA. A current limiting register in the PMIC needs to be modified
to allow current greater than 500mA. Another important thing to keep in mind is the type of
components used for power supply. While the MPU domain, CORE domain and the DDR memory are
powered by efficient DC to DC converters, all the other power rails come from LDOs. So, current
consumption of the components powered by LDOs is a direct addition to the overall current
consumption irrespective of the level of the voltage rail.

first approach. If that does not resolve the issue, alternative power paths need to be designed. This
might involve using more regulators and/or using AC/BAT input instead of the current limiting USB
input.
5 Conclusion
