Features and functionality About the ConnectCore MP15 The Digi ConnectCore® MP15 System-on-Module (SOM) platform is a highly integrated, cost- effective, connected, secure embedded solution, built on the STM32MP15x MPU family. It integrates memory, power management, pre-certified wireless connectivity and advanced Digi TrustFence device security with a complete, open-source Linux software platform based on the Yocto Project.
Use this product with the antennas specified in the ConnectCore MP15 module user guides. The end user must be told how to remove power from the ConnectCore MP15 module or to locate the antennas 20 cm from humans or animals.
Limitations and notices GPIO The ConnectCore MP15 SoC has a limitation in the number of GPIOs that can be used as interrupt lines. The Extended Interrupt and Event Controller (EXTI) can only handle up to 16 GPIO lines working as interrupt (EXTI0..EXTI15). The multiplexers work as shown in the following figure: This means that if pin 1 of a given port (for instance, PB1) has been selected to work as interrupt, pin 1 of any other GPIO port cannot simultaneously work as interrupt.
3.3V is enabled, or add the necessary protection circuitry to avoid back voltage (leakage). Block diagrams The figures below show block diagrams of the ConnectCore MP15 module and of the STMicroelectronics STM32MP157 application processor. ConnectCore MP15 System-on-Module...
Power interfaces System-on-module power architecture The ConnectCore MP15 requires two primary power supply inputs: VSYS and VSYS2, which are the input power supplies to the on-module ST STPMIC1 power management IC (PMIC) that generates all required supply voltages for the module as well as the external interfaces.
Doing so could cause permanent damage to the device. Refer to Application note AN4879 from STMicroelectronics for further information. Reference power diagram The following diagram represents the power architecture of the ConnectCore MP15 module in a typical application: ConnectCore MP15 System-on-Module...

Power consumption Power consumption This section contains information about the power consumption of the ConnectCore MP15 system- on-module. All presented results, unless otherwise noted, were measured with ConnectCore MP15 variant -01 on a ConnectCore MP1 DVK at ambient temperature (25ºC).
Module specifications Mechanical specifications Power consumption use cases The power consumption of the ConnectCore MP15 system-on-module was evaluated in the following use cases: Standby In this mode, the system suspends to RAM and operation can be resumed without performing a new boot cycle.
The MAC address and serial number of the SOM are encoded in the data matrix on the SOM label. Weight The weight of the ConnectCore MP15 module (with Wi-Fi/Bluetooth networking and shield) is 6.60 The weight of the non-wireless ConnectCore MP15 module variant is 6.35 g.
Module specifications Socket options Socket options For testing, prototyping, and other primarily development-related purposes, Digi International and E-tec Interconnect AG have developed sockets allowing the easy insertion and removal of modules in a carrier board design. All drawings, user instructions, schematics and PCB footprints are posted on the ConnectCore MP15 technical support website.

Digi recommends X-ray analysis after reflow to confirm proper mounting and solder reflow. The ConnectCore MP15 is approved to withstand a total of four (4) reflow cycles. Two (2) reflow cycles are required for manufacturing the ConnectCore MP15. Two (2) reflow cycles are remaining for mounting the module on the carrier board.
Conformal coating Conformal coating ConnectCore MP15 variants without thermal putty may be conformally coated using an IPC-CC- 830 compliant Acrylic (Type AR) coating material. The material shall be applied by spray application per IPC-A-610. DIP coating method shall not be used. If other coating material is required Urethane (Type UR), Silicone (Type SR) or Epoxy (Type ER) please contact Digi.
