Detailed module description
Configuration The ConnectCore 9M 2443 Module supports 8 configuration pins:
4 pins provided for software configuration, which are routed to standard pin
locations on the development board (CONF[7:4]).
4 pins provided for hardware configuration, routed to the base board at
standard pin locations, including debug enable (DEBUG_EN#) and NAND flash
write protect (NAND_FWP#).
Power Supply The common power supply for the module is 3.3VDC. VLIO has to be connected to
3.3V on the base board.
The CPU specific core voltage of 1.2V@300MHz (1.3V@400MHz) and the voltage for
VDD alive will be generated on the module from the VLIO input, while the voltage for
memory power supply and I/OS is fed directly from the 3.3V.
The following requirements have to be met by the power supply:
The voltage at pin RTCVDD has been connected to 3.3V, even though the RTC is not
used. If VDD_RTC is not used, it has to be high (VDD_RTC=3.3V).
The S3C2443 supports DVS (dynamic voltage scaling). This means that the core
voltage may be reduced to 1V in idle mode while clock frequency is also reduced.
VRTC is used to connect a battery on the base board for the external RTC on the
module. If the external RTC is not used, pin VRTC doesn't need to be connected. VRTC
is only used to power the external RTC on the module.
If a battery supplies the power for the module, the pin BATT_FLT# can be connected
to a comparator output on the base board. The comparator may supervise the battery
voltage on the base board. The CPU does not wake up at power-off mode in case of

low battery state. If this feature is not used, the pin has to be left open, because a
10k pull up resistor is provided at the module.
Analog voltage AVCC and AGND, e.g. for a touch screen, are also provided on the
module system connector.
For the power control logic, the S3C2443 has various power management schemes
to keep optimal power consumption for a given task. These schemes are related to
PLL, clock control logics (ARMCLK, HCLK, and PCLK) and wakeup signals.
ARMCLK is used for ARM920T core.
HCLK is the reference clock for internal AHB bus and peripherals such as the
memory controller, the interrupt controller, LCD controller, the DMA, USB host
block, System Controller, Power down controller and etc.
PCLK is used for internal APB bus and peripherals such as WDT, IIS, I2C, PWM
timer, ADC, UART, GPIO, RTC and SPI etc.
The following figure shows the clock distribution:
Power
management The power management block in the S3C2443 can activate four modes: NORMAL,
STOP, IDLE, and SLEEP. These are described below.
www.digiembedded.com 20
NORMAL mode In General Clock Gating mode, the On/Off clock gating of the individual clock
source of each IP block is performed by controlling each corresponding clock source
enable bit. The Clock Gating is applied instantly whenever the corresponding bit is
changed.
IDLE mode In IDLE mode, the clock to the CPU core is stopped. The IDLE mode is activated just
after the execution of the STORE instruction that enables the IDLE Mode bit. The
IDLE Mode bit should be cleared after wake-up from IDLE state.
STOP mode All clocks are stopped for minimum power consumption. Therefore, the PLL and
oscillator circuits are also stopped (oscillator circuit is controlled by PWRCFG
register). The STOP mode is activated after the execution of the STORE instruction
that enables the STOP mode bit. The STOP Mode bit should be cleared after wake-
up from STOP state.
To exit from STOP mode, external interrupt, RTC alarm, RTC Tick, or BATT_FLT has
to be activated. During the wake-up sequence, the crystal oscillator and PLL may
begin to operate. The crystal oscillator settle-down time and the PLL lock-time is
required for a stable ARMCLK and automatically inserted by the hardware of
S3C2443X. During these lock and settle-down times, no clock is supplied to the
internal logic circuitry.
The following describes the sequence initiating STOP mode:
1Set the STOP Mode bit (by the main CPU).
2System controller requests bus controller to finish pending transaction.
3Bus controller sends acknowledgement to system controller after bus
transactions are completed.
4System controller requests memory controller to enter self-refresh mode,
preserving SDRAM contents.
5System controller waits for self-refresh acknowledgement from memory
controller.
6After receiving the self-refresh acknowledge, system controller disables system
clocks, and switches SYSCLK source to MPLL reference clock.
7Disables PLLs and Crystal (XTI) oscillation. If OSC_EN_STOP bit in PWRCFG
register is 'high,' then system controller does not disable crystal oscillation.
Note: DRAM has to be in self-refresh mode during STOP and SLEEP mode to retain valid
memory data. LCD must be stopped before STOP and SLEEP mode, because DRAM can
not be accessed when it is in self-refresh mode.
SLEEP mode The block disconnects power to CPU, and the internal logic, with the exception of
the wake-up logic. Activating the SLEEP mode requires two independent power
sources. One of the two power sources supplies the power for the wake-up logic.
21 ConnectCore 9M 2443 & Wi-9M 2443 Hardware Reference
Chapter 1
The other power source supplies the CPU and internal logic, and should be
controlled for power on/off. In SLEEP mode, the second power supply source for the
CPU and internal logic will be turned off. The wake-up from SLEEP mode can be
issued by EINT[15:0].
In SLEEP mode, VDDi, VDDiarm, VDDMPLL and VDDEPLL will be turned off, and are
controlled by PWREN. If the PWREN signal is activated (H), VDDi and VDDiarm are
supplied by an external voltage regulator. If PWREN pin is inactive (L), VDDi and
VDDiarm are turned off.
In Power_OFF mode 1.2V have to be supplied to the VDD alive pin, and it is also
necessary to provide the I/O-voltages of 1.8V/3.3V. Therefore the LDO, which
supplies VDD alive will not be switched off.
The following describes the sequence of entering SLEEP mode:
1One of the SLEEP Mode entering events is triggered by the system software or by
the hardware.
2System controller requests bus controller to finish pending transaction.
3Bus controller sends acknowledgement to system controller after bus
transactions are completed.
4System controller requests memory controller to enter self-refresh mode,
preserving SDRAM contents.
5System controller waits for self-refresh acknowledgement from memory
controller.
6After receiving the self-refresh acknowledge, disables the XTAL and PLL
oscillation and also disables the external power source for the internal logic by
asserting the PWR_EN pin to low state. The PWR_EN pin is the regulator disable
control signal for the internal logic power source.
The SLEEP mode exit sequence is as follows.
1System controller enables external power source by deasserting PWR_EN to high
state and initiates power settle down programmable through a register in the
PWRSETCNT field of RSTCON register.
2System controller releases the System Reset (synchronously, relatively to the
system clock) after the power supply is stabilized.
Wake-up event When S3C2443X wakes up from the STOP Mode by an External Interrupt, an RTC
alarm interrupt and other interrupts, the PLL is turned on automatically. The initial-
state of S3C2443X after wake-up from the SLEEP Mode is almost the same as the
Power-On-Reset state except for the contents of the external DRAM is preserved. In
contrast, S3C2443X automatically recovers the previous working state after wake-
up from the STOP Mode. The following table shows the states of PLLs and internal
clocks after wake-ups from the power-saving modes.

To enter sleep mode by BATT_FLT, BATF_CFG bits of PWRCFG register must be
configured.
Do not exit from sleep mode when BATT_FLT is LOW; SLEEP_CFG bit of PWRCFG
register must be configured.
A Battery Fault Signal (BATT_FLT#) is provided at the CPU to recognize the battery
state of the battery at the base board, which powers the module. Therefore this pin
is routed to the system connector. At the base board a comparator has to supervise
the battery state and the output of the comparator delivers the BATT_FLT# signal.
The figure below shows the power management state diagram:
Reset There are 3 reset signals defined, which are routed to the system connector:
a reset input to the module (RSTIN#)
an output of the reset controller from the module (PWRGOOD)
a reset output from the CPU (RSTOUT#)

RSTIN# signal from the base board is connected to the reset generator device
on the module. At the base board there could be a reset switch connected to
the RSTIN# signal. A 10k pull up resistor is connected to the RSTIN# signal on
the module.
PWRGOOD must be held to low level at least 4 FCLKs to recognize the reset
signal.
The low active reset of the reset controller is connected to the system via a 470R
series resistor.
RSTOUT# can be used for external device reset control. RSTOUT# is a function of
Watchdog Reset and Software Reset (RSTOUT# = PWRGOOD & WDTRST# &
SW_RESET).

Memory
DDR SDRAM
memory On the module there are two banks provided for DDR SDRAM memory. Both banks can
support a 16-bit mobile DDR memory chip. Bank 1 provides one part of a 16bit DDR
SDRAM in a FBGA60 package, with 1.8V power supply.
Total size of memory is possible from 16MB (only one bank) up to 256MB (128MB each
bank).
Both banks have to be populated with equal devices since they share all control
signals with the exception of their chip selects.These are defined in the bank control
registers BANKCFG and BANKCON1-3 and Refresh Control Register.
NAND Flash
memory NAND Flash memory is provided, as a single Flash device. In order to support NAND
flash boot loader, the S3C2443 is equipped with an internal SRAM buffer called
Steppingstone. When booting, the first 4 KBytes of the NAND flash memory will be
loaded into Steppingstone and the boot code loaded into Steppingstone will be
executed.
Generally, the boot code will copy NAND flash content to DDR-SDRAM. Using hardware
ECC, the NAND flash data validity will be checked. Upon the completion of the copy,
the main program will be executed on the DDR-SDRAM.
Features:
NAND Flash memory I/F: Supports 512Bytes and 2KBytes Page.
Interface: 8-bit NAND flash memory interface bus.
Hardware ECC generation, detection and indication (Software correction).
www.digiembedded.com 24
SFR I/F: Supports Little Endian Mode, Byte/half word/word access to Data and
ECC Data register, and Word access to other registers.
Steppingstone I/F: Supports Little/Big Endian, Byte/half word/word access.
The Steppingstone 4-KB internal SRAM buffer can be used for another purpose
after NAND flash booting.
The write protect pin of the Flash device is routed to the hardware configuration
pin of the system connector FWP#. The device can be write protected at the base
board by connecting this pin to GND. At the module, a pull-up resistor is equipped.

Interfaces
RTC Instead of using the S3C2443-internal RTC, an external RTC (Dallas D1337) is
implemented on the module to optimize the power consumption characteristics in
sleep modes. Therefore the pin RTCVDD has to be connected to 3.3V and the pin
XTIrtc has also to be connected to 3.3V, while pin XTOrtc has to be left floating. An
external quartz is not necessary, if the internal RTC is not used.
The on-module RTC is connected to the I2C bus and powered by a 3V battery, which
has to be mounted on the base board. If no RTC is used, the pin VRTC at the system
connector can be left floating, because two Schottky diodes are used to power the
RTC either from 3.3V, or from the battery. The state of this battery will not be
supervised on the module.
The on-module RTC is a CMOS real time clock/calendar optimized for low power
consumption. An interrupt output is provided. All address and data are transferred
serially via a two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Maximum bus speed is 400 kbit/s.
The low active interrupt output (CLK_INT#) of the RTC is connected to interrupt input
EINT7 of the CPU.
The I2C device address of the RTC is 0x68 (bits A7..A1), or 0xD0/0xD1 if expressed in
an 8-bit format, including the R/W bit at the end (bits A7..A1 + R/W bit).
UART interface The S3C2443 Universal Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter (UART) provide four
independent asynchronous serial I/O (SIO) ports, each of which can operate in
Interrupt-based or DMA-based mode. In other words, the UART can generate an
interrupt or a DMA request to transfer data between CPU and the UART. The UART can
support bit rates up to 921.6K bps using system clock. Each UART channel contains
two 64-byte FIFOs for receiver and transmitter.
On the system connector, there are the signals for two UART interfaces provided.
Each interface consists of the data lines RXD/TXD and the handshake lines
RTS#/CTS#. The UARTs are part of the CPU. If the handshake lines of the third UART
interface (RTS2#/CTS2#) are not used, they could be used as data lines for a fourth
UART interface (TXD3/RXD3).

The S3C2443 UART includes programmable baud rates, infrared (IR) transmit/receive,
one or two stop bit insertion, 5-bit, 6-bit, 7-bit or 8-bit data width and parity
checking.
Each UART provides a baud-rate generator, transmitter, receiver and a control unit.
The baud-rate generator can be clocked by PCLK or EPLLCLK/n. UEXTCLK (external
input clock) is used on the module as GPIO. The transmitter and the receiver contain
64-byte FIFOs and data shifters. Data is written to FIFO and then copied to the
transmit shifter before being transmitted. The data is then shifted out by the
transmit data pin (TxDn). Meanwhile, received data is shifted from the receive data
pin (RxDn), and then copied to FIFO from the shifter.
The S3C2443 UART block supports also infra-red (IR) transmission and reception,
which can be selected by setting the Infra-red-mode bit in the UART line control
register (ULCONn).
There are four UART baud rate divisor registers including UBRDIV0, UBRDIV1, UBRDIV2
and UBRDIV3 in the UART block. The value stored in the baud rate divisor register
(UBRDIVn) and dividing slot register(UDIVSLOTn), are used to determine the serial
Tx/Rx clock rate (baud rate) as follows:
DIV_VAL = (SRCCLK / (baud rate x 16 ) ) -1
Where DIV_VAL should be from 1 to (216-1) and SRCCLK is either PCLK or divided EPLL
clock.
DIV_VAL can be programmed in the S3C2443 registers the following way:
DIV_VAL = UBRDIVn + (num of 1's in UDIVSLOTn)/16
www.digiembedded.com 34
Where UBRDIVn is integer part of DIV_VAL - and UDIVSLOTn the floating point part of
DIV_VAL.
For example, if the baud rate is 115200 bps and SRCCLK is 66 MHz, UBRDIVn and
UDIVSLOTn are:
DIV_VAL = (66000000 / (115200 x 16)) -1
= 35.8 -1
= 34.8
* UBRDIVn = 34
(num of 1's in UDIVSLOTn)/16 = 0.8
(num of 1's in UDIVSLOTn) = 12.8=>13
The table below shows the recommended value table of UDIVSLOTn register.
As a result, DIV_VAL = 34.8125 = 34+13x(1/16)
The baud rate is finally:
66000000/(34.8125+1)/16 = 115167.2 baud
SPI interface The S3C2443 provides two SPI-interfaces, each of which have two 8-bit shift registers
for transmission and receiving, respectively. During an SPI transfer, data is
simultaneously transmitted (shifted out serially) and received (shifted in serially).
Four I/O pin signals are associated with SPI transfers: SCK (SPICLK0,1), MISO
(SPIMISO0,1) data line, MOSI (SPIMOSI0,1) data line, and the active low /SS (nSS0,1)
pin.
Both 4-pin SPI interfaces are provided at the system connector (Clock, Chip-Select,
Data-In and Data-Out). SPI0 interface is located at the general pins of the system
connector, while SPI1 interface shares its pins with interrupt functions at the specific
pins of the system connector.

interface modes 1. Normal conversion mode
Single Conversion Mode is used for General Purpose ADC Conversion. This mode can
be activated by:
1Set the ADCCON (ADC Control Register), and
2Set the read and write to the ADCDAT0 (ADC Data Register 0).
2. Separate X/Y position conversion mode is activated as follows:
1X-Position Mode writes X-Position Conversion Data to ADCDAT0, so Touch
Screen Interface generates the Interrupt source to Interrupt Controller.
2Y-Position Mode writes Y-Position Conversion Data to ADCDAT1, so Touch
Screen Interface generates the Interrupt source to Interrupt Controller.
www.digiembedded.com 38
3. Auto (Sequential) X/Y Position Conversion Mode is activated as follows:
1Touch Screen Controller sequentially converts the X-Position or Y-Position
that is touched.
2After touch controller writes X-measurement data to ADCDAT0 and writes
Y-measurement data to ADCDAT1, the Touch Screen Interface generates
Interrupt source to Interrupt Controller in Auto Position Conversion Mode.
4. Waiting for Interrupt Mode is activated as follows:
1The Touch Screen Controller generates an interrupt (INT_TC) signal when
the stylus is down. Waiting for Interrupt Mode setting value is
rADCTSC=0xd3; // XP_PU, XP_Dis, XM_Dis, YP_Dis, YM_En.
2After the Touch Screen Controller generates interrupt signal (INT_TC), the
user must wait for the interrupt mode to be cleared (XY_PST sets to the No
operation Mode).
5. Standby Mode
Standby Mode is activated when ADCCON [2] is set to '1.'
In this mode, A/D conversion operation is halted and ADCDAT0, ADCDAT1 register
contains the previous converted data.
Reset controller On the module there is an Analog Devices ADM811SARTZ used. This device monitors
3.3V and has RSTIN# as debounced manual reset input and through a series resistor of
470R produces PWRGOOD as output. The voltage threshold is 2.93V. Reset output
length is typically 240ms.
JTAG The standard JTAG signals are provided at the system connector. A JTAG/Multi-ICE
connector has to be provided at the base board for debugging.
The signal DEBUGEN# (CONF0) from the base board to the module is necessary, to
be able to switch on and off a connection between the system reset and the JTAG
reset.
The pull-up resistors, belonging to the JTAG interface, are placed on the module.
Common features The LCD controller has a dedicated DMA that supports to fetch the image data from
video buffer located in system memory. Its features also include:
Dedicated interrupt functions (INT_FrSyn and INT_FiCnt)
The system memory is used as the display memory
Supports Multiple Virtual Display Screen (Supports Hardware
Horizontal/Vertical Scrolling)
Programmable timing control for different display panels
Supports little and big-endian byte ordering, as well as WinCE data formats

Watchdog timer The S3C2443 watchdog timer is used to resume the controller operation whenever it
is disturbed by malfunctions such as noise and system errors. It can be used as a
normal 16-bit interval timer to request interrupt service. The watchdog timer
generates the reset signal for 128 PCLK cycles.
Features:
16-bit Watchdog Timer
Interrupt request or system reset at time-out
The prescaler value and the frequency division factor are specified in the watchdog
timer control (WTCON) register. Valid prescaler values range from 0 to 28-1. The
frequency division factor can be selected as 16, 32, 64, or 128.
Use the following equation to calculate the watchdog timer clock frequency and the
duration of each timer clock cycle:
t_watchdog = 1/( PCLK / (Prescaler value + 1) / Division_factor )
IIS-Bus interface IIS (Inter-IC Sound) interface transmits or receives sound data from or to external
stereo audio code cs. For transmit and receive data, two 32x16 FIFOs (First-In-First-
Out) data structures are included and DMA transfer mode for transmitting or
receiving samples can be supported. IIS-specific clock can be supplied from internal
system clock controller through IIS clock divider or direct clock source.
Features:
1-ch IIS-bus for audio interface with DMA-based operation
Serial, 8-/16-bit per channel data transfers
128 Bytes (64-Byte + 64-Byte) FIFO for Tx/Rx
Supports two IIS formats (MSB-justified or LSB-justified data format)
www.digiembedded.com 40
IIS block
diagram:
IIS-Bus format The IIS bus has four lines including serial data input I2SSDI, serial data output I2SSDO,
left/right channel select clock I2SLRCLK, and serial bit clock I2SBCLK; the device
generating I2SLRCLK and I2SBCLK is the master.
Serial data is transmitted in 2's complement with the MSB first with a fixed position,
whereas the position of the LSB depends on the word length. The transmitter sends
the MSB of the next word at one clock period after the I2SLRCLK is changed. Serial
data sent by the transmitter may be synchronized with either the trailing or the
leading edge of the clock signal. However, the serial data must be latched into the
receiver on the leading edge of the serial clock signal, and so there are some
restrictions when transmitting data that is synchronized with the leading edge.
The LR channel select line indicates the channel being transmitted. I2SLRCLK may be
changed either on a trailing or leading edge of the serial clock, but it does not need
to be symmetrical. In the slave, this signal is latched on the leading edge of the clock
signal. The I2SLRCLK line changes one clock period before the MSB is transmitted.
This allows the slave transmitter to derive synchronous timing of the serial data that
will be set up for transmission. Furthermore, it enables the receiver to store the
previous word and clear the input for the next word.
MSB (Left) Justified
MSB-Justified (Left-Justified) format is similar to IIS bus format, except that in MSB-
justified format, the transmitter always sends the MSB of the next word at the same
time whenever the I2SLRCLK is changed.
LSB (Right) Justified
41 ConnectCore 9M 2443 & Wi-9M 2443 Hardware Reference
Chapter 1
LSB-Justified (Right-Justified) format is opposite to the MSB-justified format. In other
word, the transferring serial data is aligned with ending point of I2SLRCLK transition.

waveform. Also, the Controller receives the stereo PCM data and the mono Mic data
from the Codec and then stores them in the memories. This chapter describes the
programming model for the AC97 Controller Unit. The information in this chapter
requires an understanding of the AC97 revision 2.0 specifications.
Note: The AC97 Controller and the IIS Controller must not be used at the same time.

The following shows the SD host block diagram:
PWM timer The S3C2443 has five 16-bit timers. Timer 0, 1, 2, and 3 have Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) function. Timer 4 has an internal timer only with no output pins. The timer 0
has a dead-zone generator, which is used with a large current device. The timer 0 and
1 share an 8-bit prescaler, while the timer 2, 3 and 4 share other 8-bit prescaler. Each
timer has a clock divider, which generates 5 different divided signals (1/2, 1/4, 1/8,
1/16, and TCLK). Each timer block receives its own clock signals from the clock
divider, which receives the clock from the corresponding 8-bit prescaler. The 8-bit
prescaler is programmable and divides the PCLK according to the loading value,
which is stored in TCFG0 and TCFG1 registers.
The timer count buffer register (TCNTBn) has an initial value which is loaded into the
down-counter when the timer is enabled. The timer compare buffer register
45 ConnectCore 9M 2443 & Wi-9M 2443 Hardware Reference
Chapter 1
(TCMPBn) has an initial value which is loaded into the compare register to be
compared with the down-counter value. This double buffering feature of TCNTBn and
TCMPBn makes the timer generate a stable output when the frequency and duty ratio
are changed.
Each timer has its own 16-bit down counter, which is driven by the timer clock. When
the down counter reaches zero, the timer interrupt request is generated to inform
the CPU that the timer operation has been completed. When the timer counter
reaches zero, the value of corresponding TCNTBn is automatically loaded into the
down counter to continue the next operation. However, if the timer stops, for
example, by clearing the timer enable bit of TCONn during the timer running mode,
the value of TCNTBn will not be reloaded into the counter.
The value of TCMPBn is used for pulse width modulation (PWM). The timer control
logic changes the output level when the down-counter value matches the value of the
compare register in the timer control logic. Therefore, the compare register
determines the turn-on time (or turn-off time) of a PWM output.
Features:
Five 16-bit timers
Two 8-bit prescalers & Two 4-bit divider
Programmable duty control of output waveform (PWM)
Auto reload mode or one-shot pulse mode
Dead-zone generator
All of the Timer outputs are connected to the system connector.
Clock output At the global pins of the system connector there is a clock signal available
(BCLKOUT0), which is buffered by a clock buffer and can be chosen to be either MPLL
CLK, EPLL CLK, FCLK, HCLK, PCLK or DCLK. The source of this clock signal is the
CLKOUT0 port at the CPU, which can be programmed to different clocks, by the
CLKSEL0 register.
The following table shows the bits [6:4] of the CLKSEL0 register:
CF/ATA The single-slot CF controller consists of 2 parts - PC card controller & ATA controller.
They are multiplexing from or to PAD signals. Users can select either PC card or

General information
The integrated on-chip functions of the module are outlined below.
Power supply ConnectCore 9M 2443 Development Board is powered by either the main 9-
30VDC power supply or by the PoE (IEEE 802.3af) module near to the Ethernet
connector.
Both power supply sources can be switched off through one power switch.
From the varying input voltage (9-30VDC), a stable base power supply is
created on the ConnectCore 9M 2443 development board. The 3.3VDC power
supply is provided to the module, where other power supplies can be
generated.
Signal name GPIO used Comments

3.3VDC power
controller - VLIO
The ConnectCore 9M 2443 module supports another external power source:
VLIO. This power source normally comes from a battery and is used in Mobile
application for generating the S3C2443 core voltage. On the ConnectCore 9M
2443 development board, VLIO is selectable by jumper setting onboard
+3.3VDC, or external VLIO.
Power LEDs Two power LEDs are available on the development board, and indicate:
–presence of 9-30VDC power supply,
–presence of +5V, or
–presence of 3.3VDC power supply.
All power LEDs are red.
Coin cell for RTC A 3.0V coin cell should be used on the ConnectCore 9M 2443 development
board for powering the RTC unit on the module.
Current
measuring option
Measuring the current on the development board allows evaluation of power
needed for various board designs.
A current measuring option is implemented by adding a weak resistor in a
series with the power supply that needs to be measured.
Current measurement values might be performed for 3.3VDC, VLIO and VRTC.
Coin cell battery voltage can also be monitored by adding a jumper between
the coincell and the VRTC power supply on the ConnectCore 9M 2443 module.
Reset A push-button allows manual reset by connecting RSTIN# to ground. The reset
controller is located on the ConnectCore 9M 2443 module.
JTAG interface The module JTAG interface is supported through a 20-pin Multi-ICE JTAG
connector, which is located on the ConnectCore 9M 2443 development board.
This connector supports RTCK signal (optional).
TRST# signal has a 2.2K pull-down resistor on module. This means a debugger
with push-pull output at TRST# is needed and open drain is not working.
I²C interface The ConnectCore 9M 2443 module provides access to one I²C channel. 4k7 pull-
ups resistors are used on the module for these signals.
I²C signals are accessible on the 1:1 expansion connectors and on the
dedicated I²C header.
PoE connectors The POE connectors support the PoE Application Module.

The lower standard operating temperature range is specified without restrictions,
except condensation must not occur.
The upper operating temperature limit depends on the host PCB layout and
surrounding environmental conditions. To simplify the customer's design process, a
maximum component case temperature has been specified.

The maximum component case temperature must remain below the maximum,
measured at the devices shown in the figure below.
When attaching thermocouples, please follow the guidelines listed below:
Carefully remove any labels or other foreign material from the component.
Ensure an adhesive with high thermal conductivity is used. Use as little
adhesive as possible.
Make sure the thermocouple is touching the case of the component and not
"floating" in the adhesive.
The use of precision, fine-wire K-type thermocouples is strongly
recommended.
–Omega Engineering P/N 5TC-TT-K-36-72, or similar
recommendations management in applications with operating temperatures at the high end or beyond
the specified standard ambient temperature range.
Providing air movement will improve heat dissipation.
The host PCB plays a large part in dissipating the heat generated by the
module. A large copper plane located on the host ground PCB will improve the
heat dissipation capabilities of the PCB.

If the design allows, added buried PCB planes will also improve heat dissipation.
The copper planes create a larger surface to spread the heat into the surrounding
environment.

Safety statements
To avoid contact with electrical current:
Never install electrical wiring during an electrical storm.
Use a screwdriver and other tools with insulated handles.
Wear safety glasses or goggles.
Installation of inside wiring may bring you close to electrical wire, conduit,
terminals and other electrical facilities. Extreme caution must be used to avoid
electrical shock from such facilities. Avoid contact with all such facilities.
Protectors and grounding wire placed by the service provider must not be
connected to, removed, or modified by the customer.
Do not touch or move the antenna(s) while the unit is transmitting or receiving.
Do not hold any component containing a radio such that the antenna is very
close to or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes,
while transmitting.
Do not operate a portable transmitter near unshielded blasting caps or in an
explosive environment unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.
Any external communications wiring you may install needs to be constructed to
all relevant electrical codes. In the United States, this is the National Electrical
Code Article 800. Contact a licensed electrician for details.
