Texas Instruments AM437x Arm®-Based Cortex-A9 Processors
Texas Instruments AM437x Arm®-Based Cortex-A9 Processors are high-performance successors to the popular AM335x platform that integrate additional features to support a variety of markets. These markets include human-machine interfaces (HMI), IoT gateways, and industrial automation. The AM437x processors from Texas Instruments run at 1GHz and feature a new generation of Programmable Real-Time Unit (PRU) subsystems. These PRUs enable simultaneous industrial Ethernet protocols and motor feedback protocols, such as EnDAT. Leveraging the PRU, this processor is optimized for industrial drive applications, offering integrated industrial Ethernet communications, motor control peripherals, a sigma-delta modulator for current sensing, position feedback protocols, and various field bus communication options on a single chip.
Features
- Feature-rich Arm® Cortex®-A9-based solution with performance up to 1GHz
- Next-generation quad-core PRUICSS (industrial communications subsystem) connectivity peripheral supporting dual, simultaneous industrial protocols such as EtherCAT®, EtherNet/IP™, PROFIBUS®, PROFINET®-RT/IRT, POWERLINK, Sercos® III, IEC 61850, as well as motor feedback protocols like EnDAT
- On-chip quad-core Programmable. Real-time Unit(PRU) coprocessor for deterministic, real-time processing, direct access to I/Os and ultra-low-latency requirements
