Power
Module Power Supplies
The following figure shows the power supply scheme of the ConnectCore for i.MX53 module.
Supply Inputs
The ConnectCore for i.MX53 module has the following supply inputs:
Battery input (VLIO)
Charger input (VCHRG)
Coin Cell input (VCC_COINCELL)
Battery input (VLIO)
The VLIO supply is used to generate all the voltage supplies needed by the ConnectCore for
i.MX53. The minimum voltage of VLIO (allowing the module to power up) is +3.4V. The
maximum voltage of VLIO is +4.8V.
This input is the recommended when only one of the two main power inputs (VLIO, VCHRG) is
used. The benefit of using this as the Main input is that power restrictions are relaxed and a
higher overall current may be drawn through this input. If this is used as the Main power
input, the other input VCHRG can be left disconnected. If this is the only power input used,
the supply must be rated to maintain the voltage on this input during times of peak demand
by the module.
![](/img.php?id=1709931&img=bg21.png)
ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ
ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱȱȱȱȱ
Charger input (VCHRG)
The battery charger supply is used to charge rechargeable batteries, as well as to power up
the module when the battery is discharged or not connected. The minimum voltage of the
battery charger is +3.4V. The maximum voltage of the battery charger is +5.5V.
Whether this input is used depends on the Host Circuit. If a Lithium Ion secondary cell is
connected to VLIO this input is necessary, but the minimum voltage to allow the Lithium Ion
cell to charge means that the effective minimum input voltage rises to +4.5V. Note that the
i.MX53 module will still work when VCHRG is lower, but the battery will not charge. When
there is a Lithium Ion cell connected to VLIO and power is also applied to VCHRG, the current
needed by the i.MX53 module and anything that the module powers can be shared between
the two inputs. This allows a measurement of the average current to be taken and after
allowing a margin for variation and also for the charging of the battery, this figure can be
used as the amount needed at the VCHRG input. In this circumstance the peaks drawn by the
module are taken from the battery, thus allowing for a smaller power supply to power
VCHRG.
If there is no Lithium Ion secondary cell on VLIO, it is still allowed to use the VCHRG power
input as the Main input, in which case the VLIO input can be left disconnected. The benefit of
using this input as the Main input is that it has a wider input voltage range than VLIO. There
are some limitations on the amount of current that can be drawn (especially during power-
up), this may mean that Carrier boards for the module that use this power input alone may
need to have software controlled power features to prevent the load exceeding the current
capabilities. If this is the only power input used, the supply must be rated to maintain the
voltage on this input during times of peak demand by the module.
Coin Cell input (VCC_COINCELL)
A connection for a coin cell or supercap is provided at VCC_COINCELL. This power pin can
provide power to the RTC even without a connected main battery. If higher voltage is present
on the main battery or charger inputs, the main battery/charger will be used as a power
source instead.
There are three types of components that can be connected to this pin: Lithium coin cells
(Primary cell: non-rechargeable), Lithium coin cells (Secondary cell: rechargeable), and
Supercaps. When a Primary Lithium coin cell is connected, the charger must be turned off
and this pin is used strictly as an input. It is hazardous to attempt to charge Primary Lithium
cells as they may vent or explode. Secondary Lithium coin cells are only made available
directly to manufacturers of equipment that could use them, in that case they are normally
required to design their product to prevent the user gaining access to this part since there is
a danger to the user if by replacing it, they fit a primary type (the only sort that they are
likely to be able to source) into the charging circuit. When a Secondary Lithium coin cell is
used, both the charging current and the termination voltage are programmable. When a
Supercap is used, both the charge current and termination voltage should be set to the
maximum values.
The advantage of using a Primary Lithium coin cell is that the energy density usually allows
years of service since the self discharge rate is low. The advantage of using a Secondary
Lithium coin cell is that the self discharge rate is usually sufficient to allow a few months of
support for the RTC before it will need recharging. The advantage of the Supercap is that it is
intrinsically safe and can out-last the Primary Lithium coin cell option, however the self
discharge rate is high meaning that a 1F capacitor at 25° C is likely to support the RTC for
approximately 5 to 10 days.

ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ
ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱȱȱȱȱ
A programmable constant charge current charger with a programmable top-off charging
voltage is provided for charging of Secondary Lithium-Manganese coin cell batteries and
super capacitors. Charging current is programmable from 100uA to 6mA. Termination voltage
is programmable from +1.1 to +3.1V.
The minimum voltage of the coin cell supply is +2V. The maximum voltage of the coin cell
supply is +3.6V.

MultiMediaCard (MMC)
This is a universal low-cost data storage and communication media that is designed to
cover a wide area of applications including mobile video and gaming, WLAN or other
wireless networks. Old MMC cards are based on 7-pin serial bus with a single data pin,
while the newer high-speed MMC communication is based on an advanced 11-pin serial
bus designed to operate at lower voltage.
Embedded Multimedia Card (eMMC)
The eMMC describes an architecture consisting of an embedded storage solution with
MMC interface, flash memory and controller, all in a small ball grid array (BGA) package.

This is an evolution of earlier MMC technology. It is specifically designed to meet the
security, capacity, performance, and environment requirements inherent in newly
emerging audio and video consumer electronic devices. The physical form factor, pin
assignment and data transfer protocol are forward compatible with MMC, with some
additions. Under the SD protocol, an SD card can be categorized as memory card, I/O
card, or combo card (having both memory and I/O functions).

PWM
The ConnectCore for i.MX53 module provides four PWM interfaces. Two of these PWM
interfaces are available on the i.MX53 CPU and the other two PWM interfaces are provided
by the DA9053 PMIC.
ConnectCore for i.MX53 PWM
The two PWM interfaces of the i.MX53 have a 16-bit counter, and are optimized to generate
sound from stored sample audio images and they can also generate tones.
Main features of these PWM interfaces:
16-bit up-counter with clock source selection
4 × 16 FIFO to minimize interrupt overhead
12-bit prescaler for division of clock
Sound and melody generation
Active high or active low configured output
Can be programmed to be active in low power and debug modes
Interrupts at compare and rollover
DA9053 PWM
The DA9053 PMIC has two GPIO signals including PWM control. The generated PWM signals
have a frequency of 21 kHz. The duty cycle can be controlled with 95 steps (using a 2MHz
clock for each step).
The PWM signals can be configured to use an internal 100Kohm pull-up to +3.3V, or an
external pull-up.

RTC
The ConnectCore for i.MX53 provides a Real Time Clock and a Secure Real Time clock.
The real time clock function is provided including time and day counters as well as an alarm
function. The RTC utilizes a 32.768 KHz crystal oscillator for the time base and is powered by
the coin cell backup supply when main supply has dropped below operational range. The
accuracy of the 32.768 KHz crystal used for the Real-Time Clock is ±20ppm.
RTC accuracy ±20ppm
6-bit year counter. Year 0 corresponds to 2000.
Alarm registers containing min, hrs, day, month, and year.
The secure real time clock helps to comply with issues arising out of different applications
requiring secure and certifiable time, for example Digital Rights Management (DRM)
schemes.
Main features of the secure RTC interface are the following:
Secure 47-bit time counter
Non-secure 47-bit time counter
Use-mode protection. The SRTC cannot be configured by non-secured SW.
Re-programming protection. The SRTC cannot be altered or disabled after SRTC
locked.
Clock source protection
Programmable secure and non-secure alarms with interrupt
Known Issue with the RTC
Symptom:
Loss of Time and Date from the RTC registers.
Occurrence:
When the VCHRG power supply is used, the VLIO power supply is disconnected, a coin-cell is
connected to VBBAT and the temperature is below +40 Celsius. At the time when VCHRG is
disconnected, the PMIC should cause the power to switch over from VCHRG (charger power
input) to VBBAT (the coin-cell power input). However, there is a fault which results in the
registers being reset. At +20 Celsius and below, this happens every time the power
change-over takes place. At temperatures between +20 and +40 Celsius the fault may occur.
For temperatures over +40 Celsius the switch-over works satisfactorily.
There may be some variation in the temperature trip points.
Possible Workarounds:
1. Use the VLIO and VBBAT inputs only, leave VCHRG disconnected.
2. Use VLIO, VBBAT and VCHRG.
3. Use an RTC on the board that hosts this module.

SATA
The integrated Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Controller is compatible with
the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) specification. The SATA Controller along with
integrated physical link hardware (SATA PHY) provides one SATA port for the attachment of
external SATA compliant storage devices.
The ConnectCore for i.MX53 module provides connection to the SATA port on system module
connectors (J1 and J2).
The SATA port provides the following features:
Compliant with Serial ATA Specification 2.6, and AHCI Revision 1.3 specifications
(except FIS-based switching) at 1.5 Gb/s port speed
Rx Data Buffer for recovered clock systems
Data alignment circuitry

SPDIF
The ConnectCore for i.MX53 provides a Sony/Philips Digital Interface Transmitter (SPDIF Tx)
audio module enabling the processor to transmit stereo digital audio. The SPDIF transceiver
allows handling of both SPDIF channel status (CS) and User (U), data including a frequency
measurement for the precise measurement of an incoming sampling frequency.
As the SPDIF internal data width is 24-bit, the eight most-significant bits of all registers
return zeros.
![](/img.php?id=1709931&img=bg3e.png)
ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ
ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱȱȱȱȱ
The SPDIF is composed of two parts: SPDIF Receiver and SPDIF Transmitter. The SPDIF
receiver extracts the audio data from each SPDIF frame and places the data in the SPDIF Rx
left and right FIFOs. The Channel Status and User Bits are also extracted from each frame
and placed in the corresponding registers. The SPDIF receiver also provides a bypass option
for direct transfer of the SPDIF input signal to the SPDIF transmitter.
For the SPDIF transmitter, the audio data is provided by the processor. The Channel Status
bits are also provided via the corresponding registers. The SPDIF transmitter generates a
SPDIF output bitstream in the biphase mark format (IEC60958), which consists of audio data,
channel status and user bits.
In the SPDIF transmitter, the IEC60958 biphase bit stream is generated on both edges of the
SPDIF Transmit clock. The SPDIF Transmit clock is generated by the SPDIF internal clock
generate block and the sources are from outside of the SPDIF block. For the SPDIF receiver, it
can recover the SPDIF Rx clock. Both the Rx clock and Tx clock are be sent to the ASRC.
Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI)
The ConnectCore for i.MX53 module provides up to three synchronous serial interfaces (SSI).
The SSI is a full-duplex serial port that allows communication with external audio devices
using a variety of serial protocols (SSI normal, SSI network, I2S and AC-97), bit depths and
clock/frame sync options.
SSI is typically used to transfer samples in a periodic manner. The SSI consists of independent
transmitter and receiver sections with independent clock generation and frame
synchronization.
Main features of the SSI interface:
Independent (asynchronous) or shared (synchronous) transmit and receive sections
operating in Master or Slave mode
Normal mode operation using frame sync
Network mode operation allowing multiple devices to share the port with as many as
32 time slots
Two sets of four 15 x 32 bits Transmit and Receive FIFOs
Programmable data interface mode such like I2S, LSB, MSB aligned
Programmable word length 8, 10, 12, 16, 18, 20, 22 or 24 bits

Video Processing Unit (VPU)
The video processing unit is a multi-standard video processing codec capable of handling
multiple streams simultaneously through time multiplexing. This VPU covers many standards
and high definition video decoders and decoders as a multi-standard video codec engine, as
well as several important video processes such as rotation, mirroring and deringing.
The VPU has its own DMA driven AXI masters that allow it to retrieve data directly from
system memory (DDR and iRAM).
The following table lists the VPU’s encoding/decoding capabilities:
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer (WDOG-1) protects against system failures by providing a method of
recovering from unexpected events or programming errors. Once the watchdog is activated,
it must be serviced by software on a periodic basis. If servicing does not take place, the
watchdog asserts the internal system reset signal after the corresponding timeout occurs.
The Watchdog Timer features are as follows:
A time-out counter with time-out periods from 0.5 to 128 seconds
Time resolution of 0.5 seconds
Configurable time-out counter that can be programmed to run or stop during low
power and debug modes
Programmable interrupt generation prior to time-out

WLAN
In addition to the on-module Ethernet interface, the ConnectCore for i.MX53 module can also
provide an optional dual-diversity 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN interface with data rates up to 54
Mbps 802.11a/b/g mode and up to 65 Mbps in 802.11n mode.
Two U.FL antenna connectors are provided on the module.
On the ConnectCore for i.MX53 module variant, attach the antennas with the U.FL-RP-SMA
female cable to the primary connector and secondary connector on the module.
When disconnecting U.FL connectors, the use of a U.FL plug extraction tool (Hirose P/
N U.FL-LP-N-2 or U.FL-LP(V)-N-2) is strongly recommended to avoid damage to the U.FL
connectors on the module.
To mate U.FL connectors, the mating axes of both connectors must be aligned. The "click"
will confirm mated connection. Do not attempt insertion at an extreme angle.

Reset Button, S12
The reset push-button S12, resets the module and the peripherals on the development board.
A push-button allows manual reset by connecting POR# or optionally RSTIN# to ground.
Power Button, S13
The power button S12 generates a power event for the i.MX53 and the DA9053 PMIC.
When the module is in Off mode, a Power event will power on the module.
When the module is in On mode, a long press (>2sec) of the power button will turn off the
module.
When the module is in On mode, a short press of the power button will put the module in
suspend mode (low power).
When the module is in Suspend mode, a short press of the power button will resume the
module.
User Buttons, S3 and S5
Use the user push-buttons to interact with the applications running on the ConnectCore for
i.MX53 module. Use these module signals to implement the push-buttons:
Ident Button, S10
The Ident push-button S10 is associated to the commissioning input of the Digi XBee modules.
This input provides a variety of simple functions to aid in deploying devices in a network. For
a deeply description of this functionality please refer to the Digi XBee modules
documentation.

Power LEDs LE4, LE6, LE7 and LE8
The power LEDs show the status of their power supplies. All power LEDs are red.
LE4 ON indicates that battery power is present or that the DA9053 PMIC is charging
the battery. The intensity of the LED will change depending on the battery voltage
and depending on the charging voltage.
LE6 ON indicates that +5VDC power for the development board is present
LE7 ON indicates that +3.3VDC power for the development board is present
LE8 ON indicates that charger power is present
User LEDs, LE49 and LE51
The user LEDs are controlled through applications running on the ConnectCore for i.MX53
module. You may use these module signals to implement the LEDs:
Serial Status LEDs
The development board has two sets of serial port LEDs - four for serial port 1 and four for
serial port 2. The LEDs are connected to the TTL side of the RS232 or RS4xx transceivers.
Green means corresponding signal high
Red means corresponding signal low
The intensity and color of the LED will change when the voltage is switching

The VGA interface shares share the functionality in the development board with the
bootstrap interface and with the camera 2 interface. To avoid conflict between the camera
2/VGA signals and the bootstrap interface, a delay circuit is provided in the board to disable
the camera 2 and the VGA interfaces while the bootstrap configuration is being reading by
the i.MX53 CPU. Once the bootstrap configuration has been read the camera 2 and the VGA
interfaces are enabled. To avoid conflicts between the camera 2 and the VGA interface 0
resistors are used to select the interface to be used. Please refer to the "Configuration
Resistors" section on page 79 for detailed information.
The table below shows the pinout of the Analog Video connector.

Audio Interface
The development board provides an audio interface with line in, line out, and microphone in.
The Freescale SGTL5000 audio CODEC on the development board is controlled through I2C
port 3 of the ConnectCore for i.MX53 module. Digital audio data is sent/receive between the
audio CODEC and the module through the I2S interface (AUD5 channel of the i.MX53
AUDMUX).

Camera Interfaces
The development board provides two camera interfaces connected to the camera sensor
interfaces (CSI) of the i.MX53 CPU. The I2C bus 3 of the ConnectCore for i.MX53 module is
used to configure and control connected cameras.
Two 2x10 pin headers, X15 and X16, are provided on the development board for optional Digi
camera application kits or customer specific camera hardware.

The camera 2 signals share the functionality in the development board with the bootstrap
interface and with the VGA interface. To avoid conflict between the camera 2/VGA signals
and the bootstrap interface, a delay circuit is provided in the board to disable the camera 2
and the VGA interfaces while the bootstrap configuration is being reading by the i.MX53 CPU.
Once the bootstrap configuration has been read the camera 2 and the VGA interfaces are
enabled. To avoid conflicts between the camera 2 and the VGA interface 0Ù resistors are
used to select the interface to be used. Please refer to the "Configuration Resistors" section
on page 79 for detailed information.
The following table shows the I2C device addresses of the Digi camera application kits:

Digital I/O Connector, X45
The development board provides a 2x5 position pin header, X45, to access four on-chip digital
GPIOs of the i.MX53 CPU.
On the development board, GPIO6_15, GPIO6_16 and GPIO7_6 are connected to the XBee
interface. When using these signals as digital I/O, the XBee interface should not be used.
The digital I/O interface is not-protected against ESD, over-voltage or inverse polarity.
Care must be taken when using these signals.

Ethernet 1 Interface
The development board provides one 8-wire RJ-45 jack with integrated 1:1 transformers and
link/activity LEDs for the Ethernet 1 interface. This interface is attached to the Fast Ethernet
controller (FEC) of the i.MX53. The ConnectCore for Wi-i.MX53 module provides a 10/100
Ethernet PHY chip for this interface.
The Ethernet 1 RJ-45 connector also supports 802.3af (PoE) operation (optional Digi PoE
application kit required).
