This User's Manual describes the hardware of the MBa6ULxL, revision 02xx. The MBa6ULxL is designed as a carrier board for the LGA version of the TQMa6ULxL. The figures in this User's Manual also refer to the TQMa6ULxL. In addition the standard interfaces routed to the user’s connectors, more interfaces like CAN, UART, RS-232, GPIO, I C and SPI interfaces are routed to headers on the MBa6ULxL.
Functionality Core of the MBa6ULxL is the TQMa6ULxL, which is based on an NXP i.MX6ULx CPU. In addition to the standard communication interfaces like USB, Ethernet, RS-232, etc. other signals and interfaces are routed to two 20-pin 2.54 mm headers.
The TQMa6ULxL with the i.MX6ULx CPU is the central system component. It provides DDR3L SDRAM, eMMC, NOR flash and EEPROM memory. All voltages required by the TQMa6ULxL are derived from the supply voltage. More information is to be taken from the accompanying User’s Manual of the TQMa6ULxL (7).

3.1.2 Boot-Mode configuration (continued) The following tables describe the DIP switch settings for each boot source. Further settings such as transfer modes and CPU clock are to be taken from the TQMa6ULxL User's Manual (7). Table 3: Boot-Mode configuration Boot-Mode...
C touch screen controller can be addressed via I2C4 on the MBa6ULxL. Table 5 shows the addresses used on the TQMa6ULxL and the MBa6ULxL. The I2C4 bus is also routed to header X22. The following table shows the address assignment of TQMa6ULxL and MBa6ULxL.
MBa6ULxL! 3.1.5 Temperature sensor / SPD EEPROM Since there is already a temperature sensor SE97BTP on the TQMa6ULxL, no temperature sensor is provided on the MBa6ULxL. 3.1.6 RTC supply The TQMa6ULxL provides a discrete RTC. Another RTC is provided by the i.MX6ULx on the TQMa6ULxL.
Common Mode Choke in series The USB host port of the TQMa6ULxL provides a theoretical data rate of 480 Mbit/s. The data rate is shared amongst the connected ports. The data rates of the ports can significantly deviate depending on the hardware and software used.
The interface can serve as Client or Host. To use this feature, appropriate software support is necessary, however. The OTG ports of the TQMa6ULxL provide a theoretical data rate of 480 Mbit/s. The data rate can significantly deviate depending on the hardware and software used.
The i.MX6ULx Touch Screen Controller (TSC) signals are used for USB OTG. Therefore a separate TSC STMPE811 is assembled on the MBa6ULxL. The STMPE811 is connected to I2C4 using address 0x41. 3.2.7 Backlight control Attention, TBD: The display brightness can be controlled at pin X19-5 with PWM signal PWM4 (TQMa6ULxL, pad H15).
Micro SD card connector The Micro SD card connector is connected to the USDHC1 controller on the TQMa6ULxL with a 4-bit wide data interface. 3.3 V are provided at the Micro SD card connector. All data lines provide ESD protection.
Debug interfaces RS-232 / USB Debug interfaces are available as RS-232 and USB device interface on the MBa6ULxL. In both cases, the UART1 interface of the TQMa6ULxL is used. No software configuration is required. DIP switch S16-1 selects the debug interface, see Table 26.
Thermal management No special precautions were taken concerning the thermal management of the MBa6ULxL. A maximum of 5 watts, including TQMa6x, have to be dissipated. More information is to be taken from the TQMa6ULxL User's Manual. Attention: Destruction or malfunction, TQMa6ULxL heat dissipation The i.MX6ULx belongs to a performance category in which a cooling system is essential in most...
An EMC test of the board alone is not intended, as it is not meaningful for the customer's application, as the passing of these tests is essentially determined by the installation situation, wiring, operating state, design of the housing, etc. During development, however, care was taken to avoid or filter potential sources of interference on the TQMa6ULxL as far as possible.
(Substances of very high concern, e.g., carcinogen, mutagen and/or persistent, bio accumulative and toxic). Within the scope of this juridical liability, TQ-Systems GmbH meets the information duty within the supply chain with regard to the SVHC substances, insofar as suppliers inform TQ-Systems GmbH accordingly.
