The AM2431BSDFHIALXR is a new addition to Sitara's family of high-performance microcontrollers for industrial grade. The AM243x devices are purpose-built for industrial applications that require a combination of real-time communication and processing, such as motor drives and remote I/O modules. The AM243x family offers scalable performance with up to four Cortex-R5F MCUs, one Cortex-M4F and two instances of Sitara's TSN-enabled Gigabit PRU_ICSSG.

The AM2431BSDFHIALXR SoC architecture is designed to deliver outstanding real-time performance through a high-performance Arm Cortex-R5F core, tightly coupled memory banks, configurable SRAM partitioning, and dedicated low-latency paths to and from peripherals, enabling fast data transfer into and out of the SoC. This deterministic architecture allows the AM243x to handle the tight control loops in servo drives, while peripherals such as FSI, GPMC, ECAP, PWM and encoder interfaces help enable many different architectures in these systems.

AM2431BSDFHIALXR This SoC provides flexible industrial communication capabilities including a complete protocol stack for EtherCAT targets, PROFINET devices, EtherNet/IP adapters and IO-Link controllers. PRU_ICSSG further provides the capabilities required for gigabit and TSN-based protocols. In addition, PRU_ICSSG supports other interfaces including UART interface, delta-sigma decimation filter and absolute encoder interface.
