# OSM-S AM62L System-on-Module **Summary** The OSM-S AM62L is a compact System-on-Module designed for embedded applications that require a small footprint, low power consumption, and reliable connectivity. It combines the Texas Instruments AM62L dual-core Arm Cortex-A53 processor with scalable LPDDR4 memory, eMMC storage, Ethernet, CAN FD, and display interfaces. The module is intended for cost-optimized systems that need balanced performance, energy efficiency, and straightforward integration. Typical deployment areas include industrial automation, medical monitoring, smart infrastructure, EV charging, and HMI systems. ## Key Features - TI AM62L processor with 2x Arm Cortex-A53 cores at 1.25 GHz - Compact OSM Size-S form factor with 30 x 30 mm footprint - Dual Gigabit Ethernet with IEEE 1588 and TSN support - Two CAN FD interfaces for industrial communication - Scalable LPDDR4 RAM and eMMC storage options - MIPI DSI and RGB display support up to Full HD - Embedded Linux support based on Yocto - Integrated security with secure boot and cryptographic acceleration ## Description The OSM-S AM62L is a compact embedded computing module based on the Open Standard Module Size-S specification. It is designed for applications where space is limited but reliable processing, communication, and display support are still required. The module uses the TI AM62L processor with two Arm Cortex-A53 cores running at 1.25 GHz, making it suitable for cost-sensitive embedded designs that need efficient processing performance. The platform supports LPDDR4 memory configurations from 512 MB to 2 GB and eMMC flash storage from 4 GB up to 128 GB. This makes it possible to scale the hardware for different application needs without changing the overall platform concept. The compact footprint also supports dense carrier board designs and streamlined system integration. For connectivity, the module provides two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with IEEE 1588 and Time Sensitive Network support, as well as two CAN FD interfaces. These features make it relevant for applications that require deterministic communication and reliable data exchange. Additional interfaces include USB 2.0, UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, PWM, SAI, SDIO, and ADC, allowing connection to a wide range of peripherals and subsystems. Display support is available through one 4-lane MIPI DSI interface and one 18-bit RGB interface, with support for resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 fps. Security is supported through secure boot, Trusted Execution Environment, a dedicated security controller, and hardware cryptographic functions. This helps protect firmware and data in connected embedded systems. ## Technical Specifications - Processor: TI AM62L, 2x Arm Cortex-A53 @ 1.25 GHz - RAM: 1 GB LPDDR4 standard, optional 512 MB or 2 GB - Storage: 4 GB eMMC standard, optional up to 128 GB - EEPROM: 8 kByte - Ethernet: 2x 1 Gbit/s IEEE 1588 with TSN - USB: 2x USB 2.0, host or device - CAN: 2x CAN FD - I/O: 5x UART, 2x I2C, 2x SPI, 15x GPIO, 3x PWM, 1x SAI, 2x SDIO 4-bit, 2x ADC - Display: 1x MIPI DSI 4-lane, 1x RGB 18-bit - Resolution: Up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 fps - Power Supply: 5 V DC +/-5% - Temperature Range: -25 C to +85 C, ambient, non-condensing - RTC: 45 nA / 1 ppm @ 25 C - Operating System: Embedded Linux, Yocto distribution - Form Factor: OSM Size-S - Footprint: 332 pin / 1.25 mm pitch - Security: Secure boot, TEE, dedicated security controller, AES, SHA2, DRBG, PKA ## Applications - Human-machine interface systems - Medical patient monitoring - Smart home and building automation - EV charging stations - Smart meters and solar gateways - Mobile and industrial printers - Industrial automation technology ## Key Benefits - Reduces design effort with pre-integrated processor and memory layout - Supports compact and fanless embedded system development - Simplifies manufacturing with compatibility for automated soldering, assembly, and testing - Enables reliable industrial communication through TSN Ethernet and CAN FD - Offers scalable memory and storage for different product variants ## Notes for Integration / Design - Requires only a single 5 V power supply - Suitable for carrier-board designs based on the OSM Size-S standard - TSN and CAN FD support are useful for time-sensitive industrial networks - Thermal design should consider ambient operation up to 85 C - Memory and storage variants should be selected according to software and data logging requirements ## Keywords OSM-S AM62L, System-on-Module, TI AM62L, Arm Cortex-A53, embedded Linux, TSN Ethernet, CAN FD, industrial automation module, compact SoM, embedded medical system
