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 4 BRIEF DESCRIPTION This User's Manual describes the hardware of the MBa65xx as of revision 02xx. The MBa65xx is designed as a carrier board for the TQ-Modules TQMa65xx. Core of the MBa65xx is the TQMa65xx with a Texas Instruments AM65xx CPU.
120-pin / 401-51401-51 SMD120 The TQMa65xx is held in the mating connectors on the MBa65xx by 560 pins. To avoid damaging the connectors of the MBa65xx or the TQMa65xx while removing the TQMa65xx, the use of an extraction tool is strongly recommended.
The clock can be disconnected from the main line via a switch and can be controlled by the USB debug interface. I2C0, I2C1 and I2C2 are available on pin headers on the MBa65xx and have no use on the mainboard.
PRG1_RECOV_CLK_PRI/SEC can also be used as references for the Network Synchronizer of the MBa65xx. Temperature sensor and EEPROM A SE97BTP with integrated EEPROM is mounted on the top of the TQMa65xx to monitor the temperature. The MBa65xx itself does not have any temperature sensors.
3.11.2 The two CAN interfaces of the MBa65xx are operated directly from the CAN ports of the TQMa65xx and are available at the three- pin connectors X31 and X32. Both interfaces are galvanically isolated up to 2 kVAC (the CAN interfaces are not galvanically isolated from each other).
In addition, the PHYs here have separate clock signals and also serve as sources for a primary and secondary reference clock. The MBa65xx is thus not only real-time capable, but also supports SyncE.
3.11.5.1 The AM65x CPU has a 24-bit parallel LCD interface VOUT1. On the MBa65xx this interface provides a 24-/18-bit RGB interface. Beside the RGB interface further auxiliary signals of the CPU for e.g. a touch controller and the control of the display are led to a pin header.
Mini PCIe A mini PCIe slot for full-size cards with an additional slot for SIM cards is implemented on the MBa65xx. For the pin assignment see the following table. According to the standard, the interface has a slot for cards with 50.95 mm x 30 mm dimensions and a PCIe lane (PCIe x1).
Power Power 3.11.9 USB 3.0 Super-Speed OTG The USB OTG interface of the TQMa65xx is realized on the MBa65xx with the USB3.0 Micro AB socket (X115). USB 3.0 Micro Type B Figure 18: Block diagram USB OTG The following table shows the pin assignment:...
Pin headers The MBa65xx has several additional pin headers. All unused and some used signals are made available on these. In addition to the signals, 1.8 V, 3.3 V, 5 V and 12 V are also available on some of them.
The JTAG interface is implemented as a 20-pin header (X19). The necessary 10k pull-ups of the lines TDI, TDO, TMS, TRST# and SRST# as well as the 10k pull-down at TCK and RTCK are implemented on the MBa65xx. All signal lines use 3.3 V as reference.
For development purposes three navigation buttons are connected to the port expander on the MBa65xx. By using the signal GPIO1_48 this is interrupt capable. Figure 22: Block diagram navigation buttons 3.12.3 Buzzer For acoustic signaling a buzzer is provided on the MBa65xx. The buzzer is controlled directly via a PWM-capable GPIO (GPIO1_39) of the AM65xx.
Power supply The MBa65xx is usually supplied with 24 V. Switching regulators are used to generate the main voltage levels 5 V, 3.3 V, 1.8 V and 12 V. A dual output switching regulator generates 5V_MOD for the supply of the TQMa65xx module as well as another 5 V voltage for use on the mainboard, e.g.
3.14 Reset structure Figure 25 shows the reset structure on the MBa65xx. Figure 25: Block diagram Reset For the MBa65xx different possibilities are available for a complete or partial reset of the module. The following table describes the signals used:...
Port expander other See chapter 3.4 SOFTWARE The TQMa65xx is supplied with a specially adapted bootloader, which is configured for use on an MBa65xx. This bootloader includes module specific as well as board specific adaptations like e.g. • CPU configuration •...
The MBa65xx has overall dimensions (length × width) of 230 mm × 170 mm. The MBa65xx has six 3.2 mm mounting holes for the housing, and four 3.7 mm mounting holes for a heat sink. The MBa65xx mass is approximately 318 g without TQMa65xx.
MOZI. Embedding in the target system The MBa65xx serves as a design base for customer products, as well as a reference platform during development. Protection against external influences Protection class IP00 has been defined for the starter kit. This means that there is no protection against foreign objects, contact...
Thermal management Up to 8.4 W are dissipated for the heat dissipation of the MBa65xx including the module when no other loads are operated. Further power dissipation mainly occurs at any additional externally connected loads (starter kit headers, PCIe slot, etc.).
Since the MBa65xx is a development platform, no EMC tests have been performed. During the development of the MBa65xx the standard DIN EN 55022:2010 limit class A was taken into account. ESD protection is provided on most interfaces of the MBa65xx.
TQMa65xx and thus malfunction, deterioration or destruction. Protection against external effects Protection class IP00 was defined for the MBa65xx. There is no protection against foreign objects, touch or humidity. Reliability and service life No detailed MTBF calculation has been done for the MBa65xx.
By environmentally friendly processes, production equipment and products, we contribute to the protection of our environment. To be able to reuse the MBa65xx, it is produced in such a way (a modular construction) that it can be easily repaired and disassembled. The energy consumption of the MBa65xx is minimised by suitable measures.
