Product details
Overview
AM6412BKCGHAALVR from Texas Instruments is a heterogeneous Sitara™ industrial processor featuring a dual-core Arm® Cortex®-A53 subsystem (up to 1.0GHz), two dual-core Arm® Cortex®-R5F real-time MCUs (up to 800MHz), and a single-core Arm® Cortex®-M4F (up to 400MHz), all integrated with dual PRU_ICSSG subsystems supporting Profinet IRT, EtherCAT, TSN, and industrial Ethernet protocols. It includes 2MB on-chip SRAM with SECDED ECC, DDR4/LPDDR4 support, and functional safety certification up to IEC 61508 SIL 2. Targeted for programmable logic controllers and motor drives requiring deterministic real-time control alongside Linux application processing.
For engineers reviewing the AM6412BKCGHAALVR datasheet, AM6412BKCGHAALVR pinout, AM6412BKCGHAALVR application, or AM6412BKCGHAALVR equivalent, this page delivers verified core counts, clock speeds, memory ECC coverage, PRU_ICSSG protocol support, and functional safety architecture - critical for industrial SoC selection, safety-critical firmware partitioning, and TSN-capable gateway design.
Technical Context
The AM6412BKCGHAALVR implements a deterministic multi-domain architecture: Cortex-A53 cores run Linux applications in DDR memory, while Cortex-R5F clusters execute time-critical tasks from tightly coupled memory (TCM) with SECDED ECC and low-latency peripheral paths. The isolated Cortex-M4F domain supports functional safety monitoring with dedicated interconnect, firewalls, and FFI-compliant peripherals.
Its dual PRU_ICSSG subsystems each deliver two RGMII/MII Ethernet ports, six PRU RISC cores with CRC/UDP checksum accelerators, three ECC-protected Data RAMs, and hardware sigma-delta decimation filters - enabling concurrent gigabit industrial protocol stacks (EtherCAT SubDevice, PROFINET device) without CPU intervention.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the Cortex-A53 cores in the AM6412BKCGHAALVR?
The AM6412BKCGHAALVR features a dual-core Arm Cortex-A53 microprocessor subsystem rated for operation up to 1.0GHz. This speed grade is confirmed in the official AM64x datasheet (SPRSP56J, Rev JUNE 2026) under Operating Performance Points and applies to both A53 cores within the cluster. The AM6412BKCGHAALVR does not support higher-speed grades like the K-speed variant found in AM6442BKCGHAALVR.
Does the AM6412BKCGHAALVR support full CAN-FD functionality on its MCAN interfaces?
No, the AM6412BKCGHAALVR does not support full CAN-FD. According to the AM64x Device Comparison table (Table 4-1), AM6412 devices have "No" listed under "Full CAN-FD Support". Full CAN-FD requires orderable part numbers with feature codes E or F (e.g., AM6422 or AM6442), whereas AM6412BKCGHAALVR carries feature code C or D, enabling PRU_ICSSG use but excluding native CAN-FD protocol handling.
What functional safety certifications apply to the AM6412BKCGHAALVR?
The AM6412BKCGHAALVR is IEC 61508 certified by TÜV SÜD for functional safety applications, achieving systematic capability up to SIL 3 and hardware integrity up to SIL 2. Its safety features include ECC/parity on critical memories and buses, built-in self-test (BIST) for CPU and on-chip RAM, error signaling module (ESM), and a dedicated Cortex-M4F domain with isolation capabilities - all documented in the AM64x functional safety manual.
How many PRU_ICSSG subsystems does the AM6412BKCGHAALVR integrate, and what industrial protocols do they support?
The AM6412BKCGHAALVR integrates two PRU_ICSSG subsystems, each supporting Profinet IRT, Profinet RT, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN). Each PRU_ICSSG contains two Ethernet ports (RGMII/MII), six PRU RISC cores, CRC/UDP checksum accelerators, and sigma-delta decimation filters - enabling concurrent execution of multiple industrial protocol stacks without loading the A53 or R5F cores.
What package type and ball count does the AM6412BKCGHAALVR use?
The AM6412BKCGHAALVR uses a 441-ball flip-chip ball grid array (FCBGA) package in either ALV or ANI variants, with identical mechanical dimensions of 17.2mm × 17.2mm and 0.8mm ball pitch. This package is explicitly listed in the AM64x Package Information table and supports all high-speed interfaces including DDR4, PCIe Gen2, USB 3.1, and dual RGMII Ethernet.
