The RF interface of the ConnectCore for i.MX6 is handled by a Qualcomm-Atheros module capable of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connections using 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 (Dual mode with Blueooth Low Energy support).

The module is built with coexistence in mind and handles the BT coexistence internally. Cellular coexistence filtering is onboard to aid in designing systems susceptible to cellular interference.

Module Variants

The ConnectCore for i.MX6 module supports population options such as network interface (Wi-Fi), memory (flash, RAM), MCU-assist, processor (single, dual and quad-cores), and others.

Power Supply Architecture of the ConnectCore 6

The ConnectCore for i.MX6 provides a primary 5V power supply input. This supply is the main power domain to the on-module Dialog DA9063 power management IC (PMIC), which generates all required supply voltages for the module components as well as the carrier board.

The module provides support for a backup battery (coin-cell or super cap) powering the realtime clock (RTC) on the module. In addition, rechargeable backup batteries (ML414, others) are also supported.

The PMIC generates the following power domains that are available on the module pads:

• 3.3V (GEN_3V3)

3.3V DC/DC +/-3% 1500mA - 1µA 1.2ms -

Note: The maximum current consumption mentioned above is a combination of the current

consumed by the module and by the carrier board.

Moreover, 5x PMIC LDO outputs are also available on the module pads:

Quiescent current in OFF mode (TYP)

Note:

• For information about using the LDOs options, please contact Digi.

• VLDO3 is used for supplying MCA processor on the module.

The power management IC located on the module is responsible for generating all required i.MX6 processor supply voltages. The following i.MX6x supplies are available on the module pads:

• NVCC_ENET

• NVCC_EIM

• NVCC_LCD

• NVCC_CSI

• NVCC_RGMII

Some of the I/O supplies are set on the module. See the table following table:

NVCC_JTAG GEN_3V3

NVCC_NANDF GEN_3V3

NVCC_SD1 GEN_3V3

NVCC_SD2 GEN_3V3

The remaining I/O voltages must be set externally and are left open on the ConnectCore for i.MX6 module. See the following table for operating ranges of the remaining I/O supplies.

NVCC_ENET 1.65V 1.8V 3.6V

NVCC_EIM 2.8V

NVCC_LCD 3.3V

NVCC_CSI -

NVCC_RGMII in HSIC 1.2V mode 1.15V - 1.30V

NVCC_RGMII in RGMII 1.5V mode 1.43V - 1.58V

NVCC_ 1.8V mode 1.70V - 1.90V

NVCC_RGMII in RGMII 2.5V mode 2.25V - 2.625V

ConnectCore for i.MX6 Hardware Reference Manual

As shown in the table above, the supplies have a wide operating range. In order to provide the most cost-effective and flexible solution for a given use-case, the supplies listed in the table need to be provided by the carrier board integrating the ConnectCore for i.MX6 module. However, PMIC power domains 3.3V - and LDO3/4/6/7/8 options - are dedicated power sources for supplying i.MX6 power domains.

The MCU - assist specific power domain (LDO3_MCA) available on the ConnectCore for i.MX6 LGA pads is a power supply output powering the on-module Kinetis processor.

The following diagram outlines the power supply approach of the ConnectCore for i.MX6. Inputs are marked red, blue marks outputs.

Bootstrap

The ConnectCore 6 is configured by default to boot in “Internal boot” mode. See the following table:

BOOT_MODE [1:0] Boot type

00 Boot from fuses

01 Serial Downloader

10 Internal Boot (default)

11 Reserved

Note:

• 10K pull-up populated on BOOT_MODE1

• 10K pull-down populated on BOOT_MODE0

By default, the boot media configured on the ConnectCore for i.MX6 module is the on-module eMMC. This is achieved by having the following resistors populated on the module:

• 10K pull-down on EIM_DA4 (BOOT_CFG1[4])

• 10K pull-up on EIM_DA5 (BOOT_CFG1[5])

• 10K pull-up on EIM_DA5 (BOOT_CFG1[6])

• 10K pull-up on EIM_DA7 (BOOT_CFG1[7]

• 10K pull-down on EIM_DA11 (BOOT_CFG2[3])

• 10K pull-up on EIM_DA12 (BOOT_CFG2[4])

When selecting “Internal Boot”, bootstrap pins shall be protected to insure a proper boot process. “Internal Boot” has the benefit that multiple boot media can be supported. For mass production, Digi recommends to use “Boot from fuses” for more security.
