As shown in the table above, the supplies have a wide operating range. In order to provide the mostcost-effective and flexible solution for a given use-case, the supplies listed in the table need to beprovided by the carrier board integrating the ConnectCore 6 module. However, PMIC power domains3.3 V—and LDO3/4/6/7/8 options—are dedicated power sources for supplying i.MX6QP powerdomains.The MCU - assist specific power domain (LDO3_MCA) available on the ConnectCore 6 LGA pads is apower supply output powering the on-module Kinetis processor.
About the ConnectCore 6 Bootstrap
ConnectCore® for i.MX6 Hardware Reference Manual 11
The following diagram outlines the power supply approach of the ConnectCore 6. Inputs are markedred, blue marks are outputs.
BootstrapThe ConnectCore 6 is configured by default to boot in “Internal boot” mode. See the following table:
About the ConnectCore 6 Wireless interfaces
ConnectCore® for i.MX6 Hardware Reference Manual 12
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_MODE110K pull-down populated on BOOT_MODE0
By default, the boot media configured on the ConnectCore 6 module is the on-module eMMC. This isachieved by having the following resistors populated on the module:
n 10K pull-down on EIM_DA4 (BOOT_CFG1[4])
n 10K pull-up on EIM_DA5 (BOOT_CFG1[5])
n 10K pull-up on EIM_DA6 (BOOT_CFG1[6])
n 10K pull-down on EIM_DA7 (BOOT_CFG1[7]
n 10K pull-up on EIM_DA11 (BOOT_CFG2[3])
n 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, Digirecommends to use “Boot from fuses” for more security.For booting from the on-module eMMC, following resistors must be populated on the carrier board:
ConnectCore 6 signal (pad) Boot configuration Resistor Comment
EIM_DA13 (V20) BOOT_CFG2[5] 1K pull-up toNVCC_EIM
Selecting 4-bit buswidth
EIM_DA14 (W21) BOOT_CFG2[6] 1K pull-down Selecting 4-bit buswidth
CAUTION! Make sure that EIM_EB3 (pad AA18) is not pulled high during boot. Pulling thissignal high enables an infinite loop at start of boot ROM. This feature is exclusively usedfor debugging purposes.
Wireless interfacesThe ConnectCore 6 system-on-module combines a wireless local area network (WLAN) and Bluetoothdual solution to support IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WLAN standards and Bluetooth 4.2, enabling seamlessintegration of WLAN/Bluetooth and Low Energy technology.Digi also offers a non-wireless variant of i.MX6QP module.The following sections include specifications for the wireless interfaces available on the i.MX6QPmodule.

Antenna portsConnectCore 6 module variants supporting both Bluetooth andWLAN are populated with one singleantenna port covering both 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies.Module variants supporting only WLAN provide additionally antenna diversity feature. Two antennaports supporting the same transmit and receive signals are populated on the product. The softwarerunning on the ConnectCore 6 SOM switches from one antenna port to the other depending on theRSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indication) of the received beacon, which guarantees that the antennawith the best signal is always used and thus improve the quality and reliability of the wireless link. Theinterval between comparisons of RSSI values on the two antennas is by default 10 seconds, but can beconfigured in software. Furthermore, when the RSSI measured is too low, the software willautomatically switch to the other antenna regardless of the 10 second interval. Hence, antennadiversity is an option and it is absolutely safe to mount only one antenna in the system, connected forinstance to the primary antenna port.The picture below shows the location of the primary and secondary antennas.
Note Modules with Bluetooth capabilities will not support spatial diversity.

About the ConnectCore 6 MCA hardware
ConnectCore® for i.MX6 Hardware Reference Manual 29
Shared I2C busThe screenshot below shows how the I2C bus (I2C2) is used on ConnectCore 6 module. The bus isshared between i.MX6QP processor and the PMIC/MCAmicrocontroller. The usage of N-channelMOSFET ensures the bus is fully isolated and allows the i.MX6QP processor to be shut off while MCAand PMIC are powered.The 0R resistors (R88 and R99) are populated onmodules without MCA processor.

Note No specific ESD protection components have been implemented on the ConnectCore 6 module.ESD protection level on the module’s I/Os is the same as what is specified in the NXP datasheet. Anyrequired ESD protection must be implemented on the carrier board.
Power consumptionThis section contains data on the power consumption of the ConnectCore 6 system-on-module. Thepower is measured at the input of the SOM, i.e. VSYS input power rail. The power architecture of theSOM requires some of the PMIC regulators to be externally powered. These regulators are powereddirectly from some of the outputs of the PMIC itself (which are fed from VSYS).No external circuitry is powered from any of the output power rails of the SOM, so that the powermeasured at VSYS corresponds to the consumption of the SOM alone.
Note These power consumption numbers should be considered guidelines only, never as fixed orabsolute values. Actual values will depend entirely upon individual setup and system application.
Power consumption use casesThis sections describes the use cases that were used to measure power consumption of theConnectCore 6 system-on-module.

Linux - Android usersAt any time, the processor junction temperature can be measured by entering the following shellcommand:
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 tosimplify and support the implementation of thermal management approaches in their designs, asneeded:
n The ConnectCore 6 offers a fully shielded design (including internal thermal compounds) withoptimized heat transfer and heat spreading for specific internal components (processor andPMIC). It is ideally suited for more efficient heat dissipation by providing a single, uniformsurface for thermal management via enclosures, heat sinks or other means.
n The surface mount design of the ConnectCore 6 allows for additional dissipation of heatthrough the carrier board it is mounted on.
Evaluation of the ConnectCore 6 thermal performance has successfully demonstrated that theambient operating temperatures specified can be support by the module. However, actualambient operating temperature performance may vary and is highly dependent on the specificuse-case, such as, enclosure design, system design, i.MX6QP processor variant, GPU/VPUactivity, on-module peripherals used. Your specific system design and application may requireadditional thermal management such as passive (heatsink/-spreader) or active (airflow)cooling at elevated temperatures.
ConnectCore 6 variantAmbient operatingtemperature Storage temperature
Industrial -40 to 85o C -40 to 125o C
Commercial 0 to 70o C -40 to 125o C
Please note that ambient operating temperature ratings are highly dependent on the specific use-case, e.g. enclosure design, system design, i.MX6QP processor variant, GPU/VPU activity,peripherals used. Your specific system design and application may require additional thermalmanagement such as passive (heatsink/-spreader) or active (airflow) cooling.Running over 70° C ambient typically requires the implementation of thermal managementstrategies.
