The AM6546BACDXA Sitara™ processor is an Arm applications processor designed to meet the complex processing needs of modern Industry 4.0 embedded products.

The AM6546BACDXA device combines four or two Arm Cortex-A53 cores with a dual Arm Cortex-R5F MCU subsystem (including features designed to help customers achieve their end product functional safety goals) and a three-gigabit industrial communication subsystem (PRU_ICSSG ) combined to enable SoC-enabled high-performance industrial control with industrial connectivity and processing for functional safety applications. The AM65xx is currently undergoing certification evaluation by TÜV SÜD in accordance with the requirements of the IEC 61508 standard.

The four Arm Cortex-A53 cores in the AM6546BACDXA are distributed across two dual-core clusters with shared L2 memory to create two processing lanes. The two Arm Cortex-A53 cores in the AM652x are available as a single dual-core cluster and two single-core cluster options. Extensive ECC is included in on-chip memory, peripherals, and interconnects to ensure reliability. Features are included throughout the SoC to help customers design their functional safety goals (pending TÜV SÜD evaluation results). In addition to the granular firewall managed by the DMSC, cryptographic acceleration and secure boot are available on some AM654x and AM652x devices.
