Length82.00 mm (3.23 inches)
1.4.2Mechanical Specifications
Overall height is measured from the upper board
surface to the top of the highest permanent
component (CN1 connector) on the upper board
surface. This measurement does not include the
cooling solution, which can vary. The cooling
solution will probably increase this dimension.

1.4.5Thermal/Cooling Requirements
The LEC-BTS is designed to operate at its maximum CPU speed and requires a thermal solution. ADLINK offers one cooling option described in Table 1-6.
CAUTION: The overall system design must keep the ICs within their operating temperature
specifications.
Table 1-6: ADLINK Cooling Option
Cooling OptionDescription
Heat SpreaderProvides a simple thermal platform on which to build a cooling solution.
CAUTION: The optional heat spreader plate requires another form of cooling, such as a fan.
A heat spreader plate is not a complete thermal solution for the LEC-BTS.

2Hardware
2.1CPU
The LEC-BTS product family offers three versions of the Intel Atom E3800 Series CPU: the
E3815 (Single Core), the E3826 (Dual Core), and the E3845 (Quad Core). E3800 CPUs feature
the Intel 64 Architecture and are manufactured based on Intel’s 22-nanometer technology. Refer
to the CPU data sheet at:
The LEC-BTS employs one channel of 64-bit DDR3L on-board memory. Four SDRAM memory
chips provide up to 16Gb of low voltage non-ECC, unbuffered system memory. Refer to the
SDRAM data sheet at:
This section provides descriptions of the interfaces and signals within the SMARC P-S (Primary-Secondary) connector.

Refer to the SMARC specification at:
for definitions of the SMARC interfaces. The SMARC
NOTE: ADLINK Technology Inc. only supports the features/options tested and listed in this
manual. The main chips used in the LEC-BTS may provide more features or options than are
listed for the LEC-BTS, but some of these features or options are not supported on the
module and will not function as specified in the chip documentation.
Hardware 7
3.118/24 Bit LVDS LCD
The LVDS interface is connected to the DDI0 interface of the SoC, while the translation is made
by a DisplayPort™-to-LVDS converter. (Refer to the Realtek RTD2136R-CG, DisplayPort-to-LVDS converter datasheet.)
NOTE: Backlight Enable, Display Enable, and PWMOUT are controlled from the BIOS setup.
3.2HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
The default setup defines the DDI1 port as HDMI and provides the following signals:
1 Clock pair
3 Data pairs
Service signals
The HDMI interface is compliant with the HDMI 1.4 specification.
3.3Camera CSI
The LEC-BTS brings out signals for two MIPI-CSI 2.0 (serial) camera interfaces, the first with
clock and one data lane, the second with clock and up to four data lanes supporting up to 800
Mbit/s of actual pixels.
3.4Audio (HDA)
The SoC provides an HDA controller, which communicates with internal or external CODECs
over the Intel HDA serial link. HDA signals are brought out through the I2S2 pins on the SMARC
connector and are multiplexed with LPE_I2S audio signals. When HDA is active, LPE audio is
disabled.
3.5PCI Express (PCIe)
The CPU features four PCIe x1 ports, and the LEC-BTS module uses three of them for the PCIe
interface and one of them for the Gigabit Ethernet interface. The PCIe interface supports the
PCIe Base Specification 2.0 with a maximum signal rate of 5 GT/s and can be configured to support PCIe edge cards or Express Cards.
3.6Gigabit Ethernet
The on-board Intel I210IT Ethernet controller uses PCIe x1 (v2.1) bus signals from the CPU to
enable 10T/100TX/1000T operation through integrated MAC, PHY, and SGMII/SerDes interfaces.
3.7USB Ports
The USB interface originates from two host controllers on the CPU that provide three USB 2.0
ports and one USB 3.0 port. The two USB 2.0 ports use the USB 0-2 pins on the SMARC connector, and the USB 3.0 port uses the AFB_DIFF pins on the SMARC connector.
3.8SATA
The SATA interface provides one port through the SATA0 pins on the SMARC connector. The
interface supports 1.5Gb/s and 3.0Gb/s.
3.9I2C Bus
The LEC-BTS provides four interfaces through the I2C bus for General Purpose, Power Management, Camera, and LCD video I2C signals with operating speeds up to 400kHz. All I2C
interfaces have 1.8V pull ups with 2.2k resistors.
8Interfaces
LEC-BTS
3.10 SPI
The CPU implements an SPI controller, which supports two SPI Flash devices on the module for
BIOS storage.
3.11 Serial (UART)
The LEC-BTS provides three serial interfaces: Two ports are high-speed, 4-wire ports (with TX/
RX and RTS#/CTS#), and one port is 2-wire (with TX/RX only.)
3.12 I2S
The SMARC connector provides three pins for an LPE_I2S audio interface. The LPE_I2S interface is brought out through the I2S0 pins on the SMARC connector.
3.13 SD/SDIO Interface
Four parallel data lines comprise the SD/SDIO interface, supporting SD Card sockets.
3.14 eMMC Interface
The LEC-BTS provides one 8-bit eMMC interface port, brought out from the CPU through the
SDMMC pins on the SMARC connector.
3.15 GPIO
The LEC-BTS provides 12 GPIO signals from the CMOS device on the module. The GPIO signals can be utilized for General Purpose IOs as well as camera, HDA, PWM, TACH, and CAN
interfaces.
