  • Page 36: Rapid Shutdown

    Overview For “R” or the “RXT” version of the COMe-bHL6, Kontron has implemented a rapid shutdown function. It works as follows: 1) An active-high shutdown signal is asserted by the COM Express Eval Type 2 carrier board via pin C67 of the COM Express connector.
  • Page 37 4V those regulators enter under-voltage lockout mode and cease to operate. Additionally, by using the UVLO mechanism in the design of the RXT module, Kontron minimizes the risk of inadvertently affecting the standard power sequencing logic for such RXT modules. Two of the switching regulators do not require the 5V supply for operation, and in those two cases it will be necessary to clamp the enable inputs to ground when shutdown begins.
