Page 7: Tips On Safety
Handling and ESD tips General handling of your TQ-products The TQ-product may only be used and serviced by certified personnel who have taken note of the information, the safety regulations in this document and all related rules and regulations. A general rule is not to touch the TQ-product during operation. This is especially important when switching on, changing jumper settings or connecting other devices without ensuring beforehand that the power supply of the system has been switched off. -
Page 8: Naming Of Signals
User's Manual l TQMa6x & TQMa6xP UM 0401 l © 2018, TQ-Systems GmbH Page 3 Naming of signals A hash mark (#) at the end of the signal name indicates a low-active signal. Example: RESET# If a signal can switch between two functions and if this is noted in the name of the signal, the low-active function is marked with a hash mark and shown at the end. -

Page 38: Voltage Monitoring Vcc5V
Voltage monitoring VCC5V A supervisor on the TQMa6x monitors the input voltage of the TQMa6x (VCC5V). If the input voltage is too low, the input regulator DCDC4V2 is not enabled or disabled. The supervisor triggers typically at 4.55 V ±100 mV and has a delay of 200 ms. -
Page 39: Power Consumption Tqma6X
The given current consumption has to be seen as an approximate value. The power consumption of the TQMa6x strongly depends on the application, the mode of operation and the operating system. The following table shows details of the TQMa6x supply and power consumption. -
Page 40: Power-Up Sequence Tqma6X / Carrier Board
Power-Up sequence TQMa6x / carrier board The TQMa6x operates with 5 V; the 3.3 V I/O voltages of the i.MX6 signals are generated on the TQMa6x. This leads to requirements for the carrier board design concerning the chronological characteristics of the voltages generated on the carrier board. -

The TQMa6x is held in the mating connectors with a considerable retention force. It is strongly recommended to use an extraction tool to remove the TQMa6x from the carrier board to avoid damaging the connectors of the TQMa6x or the connectors on the carrier board. See chapter 4.8 for further information. -

Page 49: Adaptation To The Environment
Structural requirements The TQMa6x is held in the mating connectors by the retention force of the pins (320 or 360). For high requirements with respect to vibration and shock firmness, an additional plastic retainer has to be provided in the final product to hold the TQMa6x in its position. -
Page 50: Software
Filtering of all signals, which can be connected externally (also "slow signals" and DC can radiate RF indirectly) Since the TQMa6x is used on an application-specific carrier board, EMC or ESD tests only make sense for the whole device. In order to avoid interspersion on the signal path from the input to the protection circuit in the system, the protection against electrostatic discharge should be arranged directly at the inputs of a system. -
Page 51: Climatic And Operational Conditions
Not condensing Reliability and service life The theoretical MTBF of the TQMa6x is approximately 1,153,000 h @ +40 °C, at a constant error rate. The TQMa6x is designed to be insensitive to shock and vibration. High quality industrial grade connectors are assembled on the TQMa6x. -
Page 52: Environmental Protection
By environmentally friendly processes, production equipment and products, we contribute to the protection of our environment. To be able to reuse the TQMa6x, it is produced in such a way (a modular construction) that it can be easily repaired and disassembled. The energy consumption of this subassembly is minimised by suitable measures. The TQMa6x is delivered in reusable packaging. -
