4 Pin Description
Please note that all module connections are not to exceed their expressed maximum voltage or current. Maximum
signal input values are indicated in the corresponding controller manuals/datasheets. As damage from improper
connections varies according to use and application, it is the user's responsibility to take appropriate safety
measures to ensure that the module connections are protected from overloading through connected peripherals.
As Pinout of the phyCORE-Connector (top view) indicates all controller signals selected extend to half-hole surface
mount technology (SMT) connectors (1 mm pitch) lining all four sides of the module (referred to as
phyCORE
‑
Connector). This allows the phyCORE
‑
i.MX 6UL/ULL to be soldered into any target application like a "big
chip".
The pin numbering values for the phyCORE
‑
Connector increase moving around the board ( Pinout of the phyCORE-
Connector (top view) ). Pin 1 is marked by the number 1 on the top and the bottom side, as well as by an orientation
mark on the bottom side with only three pads (in contrast to the orientation marks with four pads in the other
corners).
The numbering scheme of the phyCORE
‑
i.MX 6UL/ULL is always in relation to the PCB as viewed from above and can
be aligned with the socket of the corresponding phyCORE Carrier Board/user target circuitry.
The numbering scheme is thus consistent for both the module’s phyCORE-Connector as well as the mating
connector on the phyCORE Carrier Board or target hardware, thereby considerably reducing the risk of pin
identification errors.
Since the pins are exactly defined according to the numbering scheme described above, the phyCORE-Connector is
usually assigned a single designator for its position (X1 for example). In this manner, the phyCORE
‑
Connector
comprises a single, logical unit regardless of the fact that it could consist of more than one physical connector.
Pinout of the phyCORE-Connector (Side 1) , Pinout of the phyCORE-Connector (Side 2) , Pinout of the phyCORE-
Connector (Side 3) , Pinout of the phyCORE-Connector (Side 4) , and Pinout of the phyCORE-Connector (Pads)
provides an overview of the pinout of the phyCORE-Connector X1 with signal names and descriptions specific to the
phyCORE
‑
i.MX 6UL/ULL. It also provides the appropriate voltage domain, signal type (ST), and a functional grouping
of the signals. The signal type includes also information about the signal direction
[4]
. A description of the signal
types can be found in Types of Signals .
