• Timer mode
The timeout of the Watchdog timer ranges from 125 msec to 1 h.
The SMARC Specification does not support external hardware triggering of the Watchdog.
An external Watchdog Trigger can be configured to GPIO pins at the SMARC connector with the TQ-flexiCFG feature.
3.6 Connectors
3.6.1 SMARC Connector
A 314 pin 0.5 mm pitch card edge connector is realized on the TQMxE39S PCB. On the carrier board a connector mechanical
compatible to MXM3 graphic cards is used to contact the module. The stacking height is defined by the connector used on the
carrier (e.g. 1.5 mm, 2.7 mm, 5 mm, and 8 mm are available).
3.6.2 TQM Debug Card
The TQM debug card is designed to provide access to several processor and chipset control signals. The uEFI BIOS Power-On SelfTest (POST) codes can be displayed through four hexadecimal display panels on the TQM debug card.
When the module is turned on, the hexadecimal display should show the uEFI BIOS POST codes. If the module does not boot, the
uEFI BIOS POST has detected a fatal fault and stopped. The number showing in the hexadecimal display on the TQM debug card
is the number of the test in which uEFI BIOS boot failed.
The debug card can be connected with an adaptor PCB in combination with the MB-SMARC-1.
The TQMxE39S includes a dual colour LED providing boot and BIOS information.
The following table shows some LED boot messages.

The TQMxE39S supports two different heat spreader versions.
Both versions are compliant to the SMARC specification with 6 mm height.
Heat spreader for the Intel® Pentium® N4200, and Intel® Celeron® N3350 CPU
• TQMxE39S-HSP-N
Heat spreader for the Intel
®
Atom™ E3900 CPU
•TQMxE39S-HSP-E
The following illustration shows the standard heat spreader (TQMxE39S-HSP) for the TQMxE39S.
Illustration 5: Standard Heat Spreader TQMxE39S-HSP
Attention: Heat Spreader
The packages of the Intel® Pentium® N4200 and the Intel® Celeron® N3350 CPU have a different
height than the package of the Intel
The Intel
®
Atom™ E3900 CPU family includes an integrated heat spreader, the Intel
®
Atom™ E3900 CPU!
®
Pentium® N4200
and the Intel® Celeron® N3350 CPUs have no integrated heat spreaders.
Both CPU packages require different heat spreader versions. It is not permitted to use the
TQMxE39S-HSP-E heat spreader on the Intel® Pentium® N4200 or the Intel® Celeron® N3350 CPU.
It is also not permitted to use the TQMxE39S-HSP-N heat spreader on the Intel
®
Atom™E3900 CPU.
To mount the wrong heat spreader will damage the TQMxE39S.
If a special cooling solution has to be implemented an extensive thermal design analysis and verification has to be performed.
TQ-Systems GmbH offers thermal analysis and simulation as a service.
Please contact
support@tq-group.com for more details about 2D/3D Step models.
The TQMxE39S is designed to operate in a wide range of thermal environments.
An important factor for each system integration is the thermal design. The heat spreader acts as a thermal coupling device to the
TQMxE39S. The heat spreader is thermally coupled to the CPU: It provides optimal heat transfer from the TQMxE39S to the heat
spreader. The heat spreader itself is not an appropriate heat sink.
System designers can implement different passive and active cooling versions through the thermal connection to the heat
spreader.
Attention: Thermal Considerations
Do not operate the TQMxE39S without heat spreader or without heat sink!
The heat spreader is not a sufficient heat sink!
If a special cooling solution has to be implemented, an extensive thermal design analysis and verification has to be performed.
TQ-Systems GmbH offers thermal analysis and simulation as a service.
Please contact support@tq-group.com for more information about the thermal configuration.
4.4 Protection Against External Effects
The TQMxE39S itself is not protected against dust, external impact and contact (IP00).
Adequate protection has to be guaranteed by the surrounding system and carrier board.
To support applications in harsh environment, conformal coating can be offered as custom specific add-on.
The TQMxE39S provides a general purpose I2C port via a dedicated LPC to I2C controller in the TQ-flexiCFG block.
The following table shows the I2C address mapping for the SMARC I2C port.
5.1.2 SMBus
The TQMxE39S provides a System Management Bus (SMBus).
The following table shows the I2C address mapping for the SMARC SMBus port.

5.1.3 Memory Map
The TQMxE39S supports the standard PC system memory and I/O memory map.
Please contact
support@tq-group.com for further information about the memory map.
5.1.4 IRQ Map
The TQMxE39S supports the standard PC Interrupt routing.
The integrated legacy devices (COM1, COM2) can be configured via the BIOS to IRQ3 and IRQ4.
Please contact support@tq-group.com for further information about the Interrupt configuration.
support@tq-group.com for further information about supported Operating Systems.
5.2.2 Driver Download
The TQMxE39S is well supported by the Standard Operating Systems, which already include most of the required drivers. The use
of the latest Intel® drivers to optimize performance and the full feature set of the TQMxE39S is recommended.
Drivers for Graphics can be downloaded at this Intel® page:
The Intel® Driver Update Utility is a tool that analyses the system drivers on your computer. The utility reports if any new drivers
are available, and provides the download files for the driver updates so you can install them quickly and easily.
The White Paper “Windows Driver Installation Instructions” provides information how to install the Windows driver.
Please contact
support@tq-group.com for further driver download assistance.
5.3 BIOS
The TQMxE39S uses a 64 bit uEFI BIOS with a legacy Compatibility Support Module (CSM). This additional functionality permits
the loading of a traditional OS or the use of a traditional OpROM.
5.3.1 Enter BIOS Setup
To enter the BIOS setup, turn on the computer, then press <ESC> and select the SCU menu.
5.4 Software Tools
Please contact support@tq-group.com for further information about available software tools.
The TQMxE39S 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.
6.2 ESD
In order to avoid interspersion on the signal path from the input to the protection circuit in the system, the protection against
electrostatic discharge should be arranged directly at the inputs of a system. As these measures always have to be implemented
on the carrier board, no special preventive measures were done on the TQMxE39S.
6.3 Shock & Vibration
The TQMxE39S is designed to be insensitive to shock and vibration and impact.
The design avoids additional connectors like SO-DIMM sockets to support applications also in harsh environments.
6.4 Operational Safety and Personal Security
Due to the occurring voltages (≤20 V DC), tests with respect to the operational and personal safety haven’t been carried out.
6.5 Reliability and Service Life
The MTBF according to MIL-HDBK-217F N2 is 435,070 hours, Ground Benign, @ +40 °C.
6.5.1 RoHS
The TQMxE39S is manufactured RoHS compliant.
• All used components and assemblies are RoHS compliant
• RoHS compliant soldering processes are used
6.5.2 WEEE
WEEE® regulations do not apply since the TQMxE39S cannot operate on its own.
