ML4062-TL2a-CON General Features
In the subsequent paragraphs, a description of main ML4062-Tl2a-CON features is present.
8.1
General Description
The ML4062-TL2a-CON module is connected to the controller board using the
ML4062-CNT-
CBL-G2
. This cable provides the connectors mating between the module and the controller,
power for the module and allows I2C communication with the controller board.
The module is always running in ModuleReady state on power up. User can force the module to
run in ModuleLowPwr state, through register 26 bit 4 (ForceLowPwr) only. When this bit is set,
the module is in low power mode, and all power spots are disabled. In order to re-activate
power spots this bit should be cleared.
8.2
Temperature Monitor
The ML4062-TL2a-CON has 4 internal temperature sensors, two on the PCBA and two on the
shell in order to continuously monitor the module temperature. Internally measured Module
temperature are represented as a 16-bit signed two’s complement value in increments of 1/256
degrees Celsius, yielding a total range of –127C to +128C that is considered valid between –40
and +125C.
