1.1 Carrier Description
The ADLINK Q7-BASE is the host carrier board for ADLINK’s Qseven modules and serves as
design reference for systems based on the Qseven form factor. The Qseven module plugs
directly into the Q7-BASE, where the carrier board becomes a design platform for testing and
developing your applications. Figure 1-1 provides an overview photo of the Q7-BASE interface
hardware. The proceeding sections and chapters in this manual present these features in fur-
ther detail.

4Product Overview
1.5 Specifications
1.5.1 Physical
Table 1-2 lists the physical dimensions of the baseboard.
1.5.2 Electrical
Table 1-3 specifies the voltage input characteristics of the carrier.
1.5.3 Environmental
Most components on the Q7-BASE carrier are selected as extended temperature range parts
(-40°C to +85°C). Some components are not available in this temperature range. In these
cases, the component temperature ranges are narrower. The Q7-BASE is validated in the -40°C
to +85°C range.
The overall system performance depends on the combination of module and carrier subsys-
tems. Some Qseven modules are available in the industrial temperature range. Others are com-
mercial temperature range parts. Similar considerations apply to any of the add-on cards or
peripherals that are used with the Q7-BASE.
Table 1-4 defines the environmental conditions under which the carrier is qualified to operate
and to be stored.
Table 1-2: Weight and Footprint Dimensions
Item Dimension Overall height is measured from the upper board
surface to the top of the highest permanent
component on the upper board surface. This
measurement does not include the cooling solution,
which can vary. The cooling solution will probably
increase this dimension.
Weight 0.32 kg
Height (overall) 38.00 mm

Width 170.00 mm
Length 237.00 mm
