Modules list3.1Special signal considerationsTable 5 lists special signal considerations for the i.MX RT1024 processors. The signal names are listed inalphabetical order.The package contact assignments can be found in Section 7, Package information and contactassignments.” Signal descriptions are provided in the i.MX RT1024 Reference Manual(IMXRT1024RM).Table 5. Special signal considerationsSignal nameRemarksDCDC PSWITCHPAD is in DCDC IN domain and connected the ground to bypass DCDC.To enable DCDC function, assert to DCDC IN with at least 1ms delay for DCDC IN rising edge.RTC XTALI/RTC XTALOIf the user wishes to configure RTC XTALI and RTC XTALO as an RTC oscillator, a 32.768 kHzcrystal, ( 100 k ESR, 10 pF load) should be connected between RTC XTALI and RTC XTALO.Keep in mind the capacitors implemented on either side of the crystal are about twice the crystalload capacitor. To hit the exact oscillation frequency, the board capacitors need to be reduced toaccount for board and chip parasitics. The integrated oscillation amplifier is self biasing, butrelatively weak. Care must be taken to limit parasitic leakage from RTC XTALI and RTC XTALOto either power or ground ( 100 M ). This will debias the amplifier and cause a reduction ofstartup margin. Typically RTC XTALI and RTC XTALO should bias to approximately 0.5 V.If it is desired to feed an external low frequency clock into RTC XTALI the RTC XTALO pin mustremain unconnected or driven with a complimentary signal. The logic level of this forcing clockshould not exceed VDD SNVS CAP level and the frequency should be 100 kHz under typicalconditions.In case when high accuracy real time clock are not required system may use internal lowfrequency ring oscillator. It is recommended to connect RTC XTALI to GND and keepRTC XTALO unconnected.XTALI/XTALOA 24.0 MHz crystal should be connected between XTALI and XTALO. External load capacitancevalue depends on the typical load capacitance of crystal used and PCB design.The crystal must be rated for a maximum drive level of 250 W. An ESR (equivalent seriesresistance) of typical 80 is recommended. NXP SDK software requires 24 MHz onXTALI/XTALO.The crystal can be eliminated if an external 24 MHz oscillator is available in the system. In thiscase, XTALO must be directly driven by the external oscillator and XTALI mounted with 18 pFcapacitor. The logic level of this forcing clock cannot exceed NVCC PLL level.If this clock is used as a reference for USB, then there are strict frequency tolerance and jitterrequirements. See OSC24M chapter and relevant interface specifications chapters for details.GPANAIOThis signal is reserved for NXP manufacturing use only. This output must remain unconnected.JTAG nnnnThe JTAG interface is summarized in Table 6. Use of external resistors is unnecessary. However,if external resistors are used, the user must ensure that the on-chip pull-up/down configuration isfollowed. For example, do not use an external pull down on an input that has on-chip pull-up.JTAG TDO is configured with a keeper circuit such that the non-connected condition is eliminatedif an external pull resistor is not present. An external pull resistor on JTAG TDO is detrimental andshould be avoided.JTAG MOD is referenced as SJC MOD in the i.MX RT1024 reference manual. Both na
