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: do not 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 MB-SMARC-3 UM 0100 l © 2022, 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 9: Introduction
Page 4 INTRODUCTION The SMARC mainboard MB-SMARC-3 is a carrier board for SMARC modules with a pinout based on the SMARC 2.1 specification. It can be used for panel PCs, embedded computers or as evaluation platform for SMARC modules. In combination with a standard SMARC module it forms a very compact hardware kit that can be used for a freely scalable embedded PC platform thanks to its modular design. -

Driver Download The MB-SMARC-3 module is well supported by the standard operating systems, which already include most of the drivers required. It is recommended to use the latest drivers for best performance and the full feature set of the module. -
Page 28: Safety Requirements And Protective Regulations
Most external interfaces are protected using ESD protection diodes. Measurements for ESD protection have to be done with the electronic parts mounted in a housing. Since TQ-Systems GmbH does not offer a housing for the MB-SMARC-3, no special preventive measures are taken. Shock & Vibration The MB-SMARC-3 is designed to be insensitive to shock and vibration and impact. -
