  • Page 8: 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 not to 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 9: Naming Of Signals

    Preliminary User's Manual l MBa8MP-RAS314 UM 0001 l © 2023, TQ-Systems GmbH Page 8 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 10: Brief Description

    RAS314. ® Core of the MBa8MP-RAS314 is the TQMa8MPxL with an NXP i.MX 8M Plus CPU based on a Dual or Quad Cortex -A53. The TQMa8MPxL connects all peripheral components. In addition to the standard communication interfaces such as USB, Ethernet, SD card, etc., most other available TQMa8MPxL signals are routed on 100 mil pin headers on the MBa8MP-RAS314.

  • Page 14: Rtc Backup

    RTC backup In case of power failure or power down, a Goldcap capacitor on the MBa8MP-RAS314 supplies the RTC on the TQMa8MPxL. The TQMa8MPxL features an i.MX 8M Plus-internal RTC or a discrete RTC PCF85063A. The RTC is supplied in either way.
  • Page 15: Power Supply

    Power supply At X18, the MBa8MP-RAS314 has to be supplied with 12 V +/-10 % (16 V to 26.4 V). All other voltages required on the MBa8MP- RAS314 are derived from this supply voltage. The MBa8MP-RAS314 has a theoretical maximum power consumption of approx.
  • Page 16: Protective Circuitry

    Attention: Maximum current of 3.3 V and 5 V rails The currents load of the 3.3 V and 5 V rails add up to the current consumption of the MBa8MP-RAS314. The additional power required must be provided by the power supply of the MBa8MP-RAS314.
  • Page 17: Communication Interfaces

    3.3.1 Ethernet 1000 Base-T (RGMII) The i.MX 8M Plus CPU has two independent RGMII interfaces. On the MBa8MP-RAS314 both interfaces are used to provide two Gigabit Ethernet ports by means of two DP83867 Ethernet PHYs. The PHY has boot straps to start with adjustable default values. Some boot straps can be customized with placement options.
  • Page 18: Sd Card Interface

    3.3.2 SD card interface The MBa8MP-RAS314 offers a microSD card slot that can also be used as boot source. All signals are directly connected to the USDHC2 interface of the i.MX 8M Plus. The TQMa8MPxL voltage V_3V3_SD supplies the microSD card slot. This voltage is controlled by SD_RESET#, therefore the microSD card is automatically reset in case of a Reset.
  • Page 19: Usb 3.0 Hub

    A USB 3.0 hub TUSB8041 is connected to the USB2 interface on the TQMa8MPxL, which provides four USB 3.0 / 2.0 host interfaces. USB Host 1 & 2 of the TUSB8041 are connected to a Dual USB 3.0 Type A socket (X12) on the MBa8MP-RAS314. USB Host 3 & 4 are routed to the connector X13.
  • Page 20: Wifi

    3.3.5 WiFi A WiFi module (LBEE5XV1YM from Murata) is available on the MBa8MP-RAS314. It supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and offers a dual-band RF interface (2.4 / 5 GHz). The LBEE5XV1YM is connected to the MBa8MP-RAS314 via PCIe (for WiFi) and UART (for a wireless function). The theoretically achievable maximum data rate of the LBEE5XV1YM is 866 Mbit/s.
  • Page 21: Display Interface

    The i.MX 8M Plus offers an LVDS controller with a dual LVDS interface. Each of the interfaces uses four differential lanes. On the MBa8MP-RAS314 there is one interface for connecting Single LVDS. In addition, two GPIO (BLT_EN, RESET#), a PWR_EN and a PWM signal are provided.
