BRIEF DESCRIPTION The MBa62xx is designed as a carrier board for the TQMa62xx and TQMa62xxL All TQMa62xx interfaces are available on the MBa62xx. The AM62x CPU characteristics can be evaluated, and therefore the software development for a TQMa62xx project can be started immediately.
In addition to the standard communication interfaces like USB, Ethernet, RS485 etc. all other available signals of the TQMa62xx are routed to standard headers. The following interfaces / functions and user's interfaces are provided on the MBa62xx: Table 2: Overview interfaces Interface Qty.
The TQMa62xx boot behaviour can be customised. To use the LGA module TQMa62xxL on the MBa62xx an additional adapter board, TQMa62xxL-ADAP, is required. The adapter board serves as an intermediate board which passes the signals from the LGA pads directly to the connectors.
The accessible I C buses depend on the pin multiplexing. Only the I2C1 bus is used by the module on the MBa62xx. On the TQMa62xx or TQMa62xxL the I2C0 bus is permanently provided for its I2C devices. The following devices are connected on the...
The main supply of the MBa62xx is VIN via connector X5 (Type: CUI INC PJ-102BH) or X6 (Type: Lumberg KRM02), optionally the MBa62xx can be supplied as a powered device via Power Over Ethernet (X14) by a suitable switch (PSE).

The overvoltage limitation is 31.1 V to 34.4 V. The mainboard MBa62xx, including TQMa62xx, consumes 86 W under full load (all supply voltages are loaded with maximum current, e.g. by connecting external modules to the pin headers). The power supply used must be selected accordingly. In most...
The TQMa62xx executes the power sequencing independently and returns a PGOOD signal for the MBa62xx. • As soon as the PGOOD signal is present, the MBa62xx performs the power sequencing independently. The used switching regulators / LDOs are controlled by EN and PGOOD signals.
4.2.2 USB interface 4.2.2.1 USB OTG The MBa62xx provides a USB2.0 OTG interface. The USB2.0 interface also serves as boot source (see also chapter 4.3.5). • Protection circuit for USB0_VBUS according to Reference Manual (1). • 5V power switch depending on the USB ID (GPIO) pin.
USB Hub The MBa62xx also provides a 4-port USB host via USB1 of the CPU. This results in a double socket (X11) for the use of USB host (e.g. USB stick) as well as the use of the IoT radio module and the LVDS display.
Position USB, X11 4.2.3 Ethernet interface There are two Ethernet interfaces on the MBa62xx. The PHY DP83867ISRZGZ from TI is used for all interfaces. The PHY supports IEEE 802.3 10BASE-Te,100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T. The following interfaces are used: • RGMII1 at connector X14 With additional PoE+ function to supply the mainboard •...
Position X21 and X22 4.2.5 MIPI-CSI The Camera Serial Interface (CSI) of the TQMa62xx and TQMa62xxL is available with 4 lanes on the MBa62xx at connector X20. Figure 20: Block diagram MIPI-CSI interface The selection of the connector (Type: TE 5177986-2) and the pin assignment correspond to the TQ-specific specifications for the uniform design of the interface which enables the connection of the TQ camera adapter.
Position X20 4.2.6 Two CAN interfaces are implemented on MBa62xx according to the ISO 11898 standard. The signals are each provided on a 3-pin socket X12 and X13 (Type: Phoenix Contact MCV 1,5/ 3-G-3,5). Both interfaces are galvanically isolated with an isolation voltage of 1 kV, but not from each other.
Page 23 4.2.7 RS485 On the MBa62xx a RS485 interface on connector X8 (Type: Phoenix Contact MC1,5/2-G-3,5) with automatic direction switching is realized, which allows the use of Profibus. The direction switching is done via GPIO. Figure 24: Block diagram RS485...
Position of JTAG, X29 Audio The MBa62xx provides one microphone, line-in and line-out interface each. The signals can be tapped via 3.5 mm jack sockets, which are provided by an audio code via SAI and I2C interfaces by the TQMa62xx.
Line-out n.p. n.p. Default option Analog Frontend For the processing of analog inputs, an 8-channel analog frontend is available on the MBa62xx at connector X30 (Type: Phoenix DMC 1,5/ 8-G1F-3,5-LR P20THR). • 24 V compatible • Data rates: 7.5 SPS - 288 kSPS, Simultaneous 50 Hz / 60 Hz line rejection, ENOB: 17-bit at 72 kSPS •...
Page 33 4.4.1 Digital IOs The MBa62xx provides four digital inputs and outputs each, which are 24 V compatible, at connector X16. • The digital outputs are switched via high-side switches. The input voltage V_24V_IN or an external voltage V_24V_HSS_IN (default) can be switched.

Depending on the application, the power consumption of the CPU makes it necessary to ensure a cooling of the CPU. For this a 4-pin connector X4 (Type: Molex 47053-1000) is provided on the MBa62xx for a standard fan. For more information, please refer to the TQMa62xx User’s Manual.
Page 43 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND PROTECTIVE REGULATIONS The MBa62xx was developed according to the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Depending on the target system, anti-interference measures may still be necessary to guarantee the adherence to the limits for the overall system.
Protection against external effects Protection class IP00 was defined for the MBa62xx. There is no protection against foreign objects, touch or humidity. Reliability and service life No detailed MTBF calculation has been done for the MBa62xx.
By environmentally friendly processes, production equipment and products, we contribute to the protection of our environment. To be able to reuse the MBa62xx, it is produced in such a way (a modular construction) that it can be easily repaired and disassembled. The energy consumption of this subassembly is minimised by suitable measures. The MBa62xx is delivered in reusable packaging.

To be able to reuse the MBa62xx, it is produced in such a way, that it can be easily repaired and disassembled. The energy consumption of this subassembly is minimised by suitable measures. Due to the fact that at the moment there is still no technical equivalent alternative for printed circuit boards with bromine-containing flame protection (FR-4 material), such printed circuit boards are still used.
