AM2632-Q1

The AM2632-Q1 is a high-performance microcontroller from Texas Instruments, designed for automotive and industrial applications requiring robust real-time processing capabilities. It is based on the ARM Cortex-R5F core, operating at up to 400 MHz, offering deterministic response times essential for safety-critical systems. The device includes a rich set of peripherals such as dual CAN FD controllers, Ethernet MAC with IEEE 1588 support, and multiple high-speed serial interfaces including SPI, I2C, and UART, enabling seamless communication in complex embedded environments. This microcontroller features integrated memory subsystems, including 1 MB of on-chip SRAM and 512 KB of flash memory, optimized for fast access and reliable operation. It supports secure boot and hardware-based encryption (AES-128/256), making it suitable for applications where data integrity and protection are paramount. The AM2632-Q1 also includes a dedicated power management unit (PMU) that allows efficient voltage scaling and low-power modes, contributing to energy-efficient system design without compromising performance. Designed for harsh environments, the AM2632-Q1 meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, ensuring reliability under extreme temperatures (-40°C to +125°C). Its robust EMI/EMC compliance and advanced fault detection mechanisms make it ideal for use in automotive systems such as electric power steering (EPS), battery management systems (BMS), and ADAS modules. In industrial settings, it serves as a controller in motor drives, factory automation, and robotics due to its precise timing control and real-time determinism. The device integrates a comprehensive set of analog and digital I/Os, including a 12-bit ADC with up to 16 channels, enabling accurate sensor signal acquisition. It also supports external memory interfaces (e.g., SDRAM, NOR Flash), allowing scalable system architectures. With built-in diagnostics, watchdog timers, and error correction code (ECC) for memory, the AM2632-Q1 ensures high system availability and fault tolerance—key attributes for safety-certified applications like ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliance. Texas Instruments provides a complete development ecosystem, including Code Composer Studio (CCS), TI’s Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and extensive documentation, accelerating time-to-market for developers. The AM2632-Q1 is available in a 100-pin LQFP package, facilitating compact PCB designs while maintaining thermal and mechanical stability.
