The MBLS1012AL is designed as a carrier board for the TQMLS1012AL. All TQMLS1012AL interfaces, which can be used, are available on the MBLS1012AL. Thus the features of the NXP CPU LS1012A can be evaluated and software development for a TQMLS1012AL-based project can be started directly.
Power supply The MBLS1012AL has to be supplied with 16 V to 28 V at X21. The typical supply voltage is 24 V. The MBLS1012AL has a maximum power consumption of approx. 51 W at the 24 V supply. This corresponds to a typical maximum current consumption of 2.1 A.
Page 7 4.1.3 Protective circuit The input supply of the MBLS1012AL supplies the 3.3 V / 5 V regulators. The protection circuit (see Illustration 3) features the following characteristics: • Overcurrent protection by fuse 4 A, slow blow • Overvoltage protection diode •...
Block diagram Ethernet Link When using the MBLS1012AL e.g. as router or switch, the single port can be used as LINK interface e.g. to a modem. The single Ethernet port is provided via the PHY DP83867 at the SGMII interface (SerDes-Lane A).
The switch has boot straps to start with configurable default values. Some boot straps can be configured with assembly options. Further information is available in the latest circuit diagram of the MBLS1012AL. The following table shows the pin assignment of the Ethernet connectors: Table 10: Pinout RJ-45 connector X12, X13 for “Switch“...
The JTAG test reset pin (TP18, JTAG_TRST#) must be grounded simultaneously with PORESET# during normal operation. This is achieved by using a 0 Ω bridge on the MBLS1012AL. If a boundary-scan is to be performed, this bridge must be removed and both signals must be controlled accordingly.
The SATA interface (SerDes-Lane D) of the LS1012A and a 3.3 V power supply are connected. As required by the M.2 specification, the power budget of the MBLS1012AL is 2.5 A for a SATA SSD. The Device Activity Signal (DAS/DSS#;...
C address used by the plug-in card is not yet used by a peripheral on the MBLS1012AL or on the PCIe slot. See also Table 13. The wiring of pins 42, 44 and 46 is the same as for the Mini PCIe interface.
5 V input voltage and includes the manual reset button. The undervoltage threshold is set to 4.455 V, the delay until the reset signal is enabled again is set to 300 ms. On the MBLS1012AL a red LED indicates a reset, see Table 34.
GPIOs GPIO pins from different sources are available on the MBLS1012AL. Native GPIOs The TQMLS1012AL provides six GPIO signals on the configuration selected for the MBLS1012AL. All GPIO signals configured as input are interrupt capable. Table 29: Electrical characteristics of 1.8 V GPIOs Wert Min.
Due to the low number of native GPIOs provided by the LS1012AL CPU, two GPIO expanders with 16 and 8 IOs are available on the MBLS1012AL. The respective interrupt pin of the GPIO expander is connected to a GPIO pin of the LS1012AL CPU: •...
Header X22 The MBLS1012AL provides a 34-pin header. On this header all unused signals and those which should be easy to reach are made available. In addition to the signals, 24 V, 5 V, 3.3 V and 1.8 V are available on the header.
Push buttons For development purposes, the MBLS1012AL has three push buttons connected to the port expanders. By using the interrupt signals at GPIO1_24 and GPIO1_27 interrupts can be triggered with the push buttons. The signal lines between the push button and the port expander are equipped with 10 kΩ...
The MBLS1012AL has overall dimensions (length × width) of 160 × 100 mm The MBLS1012AL has a maximum height of approximately 29 mm. The MBLS1012AL has four mounting holes with a diameter of 2.7 mm and three 2.2 mm heat sink mounting holes. The MBLS1012AL weighs approximately 137 grams including TQMLS1012AL.
More information is to be taken from the TQMLS1012AL Preliminary User's Manual. Attention: Destruction or malfunction The MBLS1012AL belongs to a performance category in which a cooling system is essential in most applications. It is the user’s sole responsibility to define a suitable heat sink (weight and mounting position) depending on the specific mode of operation (e.g., dependence on clock frequency, stack...
Page 33 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND PROTECTIVE REGULATIONS Since the MBLS1012AL is a development platform, no EMC tests have been performed. Protection against electrostatic discharge is provided on most interfaces of the MBLS1012AL. The circuit diagram shows which interfaces have ESD protection.
General notes Due to technical reasons a battery is necessary for the MBLS1012AL. Batteries containing mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb) are not used. If this is for technical reasons unavoidable, the device is marked with the corresponding hazard note.
