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 real-
time 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)
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:
• VLDO3
• VLDO4
• VLDO6
• VLDO7
• VLDO8

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:
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.

Signal Usage Limitations
The following signals available on ConnectCore for i.MX6 pads have a limited usage:
• SD1_CLK (pad L21), SD1_CMD (pad J23), SD1_DAT[3:0] (pads L20, J21, J22 and N24) are
only available externally on modules which don't have Wi-Fi populated.
• SD3_DAT4/BT_UART_RXD (pad C22), SD3_DAT5/BT_UART_TXD (pad D23), SD3_CLK/
BT_UART_RTS (pad B21), SD3_CMD/BT_UART_CTS (pad E23) are only available externally on
modules which don't have Bluetooth populated.
• NANDF_CLE/BT_WAKE (pad E22) is only available externally on modules which don't have
Bluetooth populated.
• I2C2_SCL/KEY_COL3 (pad C3) and I2C2_SDA/KEY_ROW3 (pad F2) are used on the module
as I2C signals connected to the PMIC and MCA processor. Using these signals externally
should be done with caution, since it could prevent the module from working properly. It is
recommended that you use another I2C port for connecting external devices to the
ConnectCore i.MX6 module in order to avoid excessive bus load.

Gigabit Ethernet LEDs
The Gigabit Ethernet PHY has two outputs to indicate the link and activity status of the port.
These outputs are connected to a green LED and to a yellow LED, integrated on the Ethernet
connector. The following table shows the link/activity status indicated by the two LEDs.
5V Regulator
The adapter board has several interfaces that need a regulated 5V supply. To generate this
supply one LTC3125 step-up DC/DC converter is used. This DC/DC converted can generate a
regulated 5V from a 1.8V to 5.5V input supply. The LTC3125 will maintain voltage regulation
even when the input voltage is above the desired output voltage.
The 5V regulator will be enabled by the ConnectCore 6 signal PWR_EN. On low power mode this
regulator will be disabled. The following table shows the interfaces of the adapter board where
the +5V supply is connected.

Coin Cell Connector
Coin Cell Connector, P5
The adapter board provides a 2-pin, 2.54mm pitch straight pin header for connecting an external
coin cell or super capacitor to power the RTC interface when the main supply is off. If higher
voltage is present on the main supply, it will be used as a power source for the RTC.
The following table shows the pinout of the coin cell connector.
There are three types of components that can be connected to this connector: Lithium coin cells
(Primary cell: non-rechargeable), Lithium coin cells (Secondary cell: rechargeable), and
Supercaps. When a Primary Lithium coin cell is connected, the PMIC backup battery 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.

ConnectCore for i.MX6 Hardware Reference Manual
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.
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.

the actual processor population on the ConnectCore 6 module.
Industrial Variant: -40° C to +105° C
Extended Commercial Variant: -20° C to +105° C
Commercial Variant: 0° C to +95° C
The customer design must assure that the specified i.MX6 junction temperatures are not
exceeded during operation.
Storage temperature: -40°C to +85°C
Moisture Sensitivity and Shelf Life
a The ConnectCore for i.MX6 module is classified as a Level 3 Moisture Sensitive Device in
accordance with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
b Calculated shelf life in sealed packaging: 12 months at <40°C and <90% relative humidity
(RH).
c Environmental condition during production: 30°C /60% RH according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD -
033A, paragraph 5.
d Maximum time between opening of the sealed packaging and reflow process must not exceed
168 hours, based on condition b), IPC/JEDEC J-STD -033A, paragraph 5.2.
e Baking is required, if conditions b) or c) do not apply. See above.
f Baking is required, if the packaging humidity indicator indicates 10% RH or higher.
g If baking is required, bake modules in trays 4-6 hours at 125°C; maximum stacking height is
10 trays.
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 module is specified for one (1) soldering cycle only. Modules are also 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. 86
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 <0.001" 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.
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.
