1.5 Audio Expansion Connectors

The AM275x EVM features two symmetric shielded 80-pin Audio Expansion Connectors (AEC1 and AEC2) for external Audio device interfacing. AEC1 and AEC2 are placed at fixed distances and specific locations on the left and right side of the AM275x EVM.

The AEC Pinout includes:

  • Interspersed Ground Pins to limit EMI
  • Audio
    • 2x McASP instances
      • 8 serializers for both instances
      • Transmit and receive bit clock/frame sync for both instances
    • Reference clock input/output to/from the daughter card
    • 2x eCAP inputs
  • General Connectivity
    • SPI, I2C, MCAN, UART
  • Power
    • 5V, I/O VDD
  • 3x PWM Channels
  • Up to 47 GPIOs
  • 10x Reserved pins for future-proofing

For more information on Audio expansion connectors, refer to the AEC Mapping chapter.
