Introduction
The phyCORE-TC1796 belongs to PHYTEC’s phyCORE Single
Board Computer module family. The phyCORE SBCs represent the
continuous development of PHYTEC Single Board Computer
technology. Like its mini-, micro- and nanoMODUL predecessors, the
phyCORE boards integrate all core elements of a microcontroller
system on a subminiature board and are designed in a manner that
ensures their easy expansion and embedding in peripheral hardware
developments.
As independent research indicates that approximately 70 % of all EMI
(Electro Magnetic Interference) problems stem from insufficient
supply voltage grounding of electronic components in high frequency
environments the phyCORE board design features an increased pin
package. The increased pin package allows dedication of
approximately 20 % of all pin header connectors on the phyCORE
boards to Ground. This improves EMI and EMC characteristics and
makes it easier to design complex applications meeting EMI and EMC
guidelines using phyCORE boards even in high noise environments.
phyCORE boards achieve their small size through modern SMD
technology and multi-layer design. In accordance with the complexity
of the module, 0402-packaged SMD components and laser-drilled
Microvias are used on the boards, providing phyCORE users with
access to this cutting edge miniaturization technology for integration
into their own design.
