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.

• Automatic system reboot to protect i.MX6 from damage
• i.MX6 core and GPU frequencies are reduced
• Additional actions may be initiated depending on actual system implementation
• Limitations applied in Hot mode are removed again
At any time, the processor junction temperature can be measured by entering the following shell command:
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
Note: Depending on the operating system, the junction temperature is displayed in milli °C
or °C.
The ConnectCore 6 multichip module was designed to provide customers with unique options to simplify and support the implementation of thermal management approaches in their designs, as needed:
• The ConnectCore 6 offers a fully shielded design (including internal thermal compounds) with optimized heat transfer and heat spreading for specific internal components (processor and PMIC). It is ideally suited for more efficient heat dissipation by providing a single, uniform surface for thermal management via enclosures, heat sinks or other means.
• The surface mount design of the ConnectCore 6 allows for additional dissipation of heat through the carrier board it is mounted on.
Evaluation of the ConnectCore 6 thermal performance has successfully demonstrated that the ambient operating temperatures specified can be support by the module. However, actual ambient operating temperature performance may vary and is highly dependent on the specific use-case, such as, enclosure design, system design, i.MX6 processor variant, GPU/VPU activity,

Storage Temperature

Mounting

The ConnectCore 6 module has been designed with easy integration into existing SMT processes in mind. Guidance for mounting the module on your carrier board is given in this section of the document.
The ConnectCore 6 modules are not sealed and therefore they should not be subjected to a wash cycle or similar treatment where condensation could occur. Contact Digi International for additional guidance to discuss conformal coating approaches and options, if needed.

Solder Paste

The following solder paste type has been approved for mounting the module on a carrier board:
• SAC305 (Lead-free: Alpha OM-340 Type 4 or equivalent)
© 2014 Digi International Inc. 56
ConnectCore for i.MX6 Hardware Reference Manual
Solder Paste Print
The following solder paste printing parameters are recommended:
• Stencil Thickness: 0.15 mm/5 mil
• Stencil Diameter: One to one of Pad diameter (to +20% of pad)
• Paste alignment: 20% off the pad max (offset <20% pad diameter)

Stencil

The recommendation is to use a laser cut and/or electro-formed stencil for placing the ConnectCore 6 module. Based on the actual coplanarity characteristics of your carrier board, adjustments may be required to determine the optimal solder paste volume.
It is also recommended to perform an X-ray analysis of the initial production run of your assembly with the ConnectCore 6. Please contact Digi for additional support.

Coplanarity

The coplanarity measured on the ConnectCore for 6 is <0.003" bow and twist (98% confidence interval). It is important that the carrier board is also coplanar. If the carrier board is thinner than the ConnectCore 6 it is recommended that the assembly be supported during the reflow process, i.e. reflow fixture should be used to minimize the potential bow of the carrier card.
Bow and twist measurements have been done with SmartScope Flash 500 equipment which has a Z accuracy up to (2.0 + 8L/1000) µm.

SMT Pick and Place

• Placement Nozzle: Large is available on the machine
• Nozzle Pick Surface: Center of Shield on i.MX6 SOM
• Placement Speed: Slowest speed for the machine
• Placement alignment: 10% of pad diameter (compensating for module weight and supporting
alignment). The module should be placed last as part of the assembly/mounting process to
eliminate unexpected shifting.

Reflow Profile Using Seven Zone Oven, SAC 305Lead-Free Solder Paste (Alpha OM-340)

Time Above Liquidous (TAL) is recommended to be between 56 to 63 seconds. Use of 40AWG K-type thermal couple and M.O.L.E or equivalent thermal profiler is recommended. The first recommended thermal probe location is on the outer row of pads, to be on the out most row of pins preferably a ground pad. The second thermal probe location is on the inner row of pads preferably a signal pad.
The following image shows the reflow profile based on a seven zone convection oven.
The reflow profile shown above is valid for the combination solder paste/reflow machine and Digi reference carrier board. Optimization of a reflow profile will depend on the selected solder paste/ reflow machine (reflow or vapor phase) and carrier board design.
The ConnectCore i.MX6 is approved to withstand a maximum of six reflow cycles. Two reflow cycles are required for manufacturing the ConnectCore i.MX6 SOM. Digi strongly recommends to solder the ConnectCore i.MX6 module during the last reflow cycles of the carrier board manufacturing process.

Antenna ports:
ConnectCore for i.MX6 module variants supporting both Bluetooth and WLAN are populated with one single antenna port covering both 2.4 and 5GHz frequencies.
Module variants supporting only WLAN provide additionally antenna diversity feature. Two antenna ports supporting the same transmit and receive signals are populated on the product. The software running on the ConnectCore SOM switches from one antenna port to the other depending on the RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indication) of the received beacon, which guarantees that the antenna with the best signal is always used and thus improve the quality and reliability of the wireless link. The interval between comparisons of RSSI values on the two antennas is by default 10 seconds, but can be configured in software. Furthermore, when the RSSI measured is too low, the software will automatically switch to the other antenna regardless of the 10 second interval. Hence, antenna diversity is an option and it is absolutely safe to mount only one antenna in the system, connected for instance to the primary antenna port.
