Whenever handling a Q7-928 module, ground yourself through an anti-static wrist strap. Placement of the board on an anti-static
surface is also highly recommended.
1.4Safety
The Q7-928 module uses only extremely-low voltages.
While handling the board, please use extreme caution to avoid any kind of risk or damages to electronic components.
1.5 Electrostatic Discharges
The Q7-928 module, like any other electronic product, is an electrostatic sensitive device: high voltages caused by static electricity could damage some or all the
devices and/or components on-board.
1.6 RoHS compliance
The Q7-928 module is designed using RoHS compliant components and is manufactured on a lead-free production line. It is therefore fully RoHS compliant.
Always switch the power off, and unplug the power supply unit, before handling the board and/or connecting cables or other boards.
Avoid using metallic components - like paper clips, screws and similar - near the board when connected to a power supply, to avoid
short circuits due to unwanted contacts with other board components.
If the board has become wet, never connect it to any external power supply unit or battery.
Check carefully that all cables are correctly connected and that they are not damaged.

2.1Introduction
Q7-928 is a CPU module, in Qseven®format, based on embedded NXP i.MX6 processor, an ARM®Cortex®-A9 processor, Single-, Dual- and Quad-Core, with
frequencies up to 1.2GHz, which is ideal for applications requiring multimedia capabilities and/or high levels of parallel computing.
Along with programmable CPLD Lattice LCMXO640, the board offers a very high level of integration, both for all most common used peripherals in ARM world and
for bus interfaces normally used in x86 world, like PCI-Express and S-ATA.
All this comes out in the extremely reduced space offered by Qseven®boards, which offers all functionalities of standard boards in just 70x70mm.
This solution allows combining the advantages of a standard, ready-to-use board, like Qseven®boards are, with all advantages offered by ARM application specific
processors like NXP i.MX6 processor, in its different versions (Single Core, Dual Core, Dual Core Lite, Quad Core)
Moreover, NXP i.MX6 processors integrates three separated accelerators for 2D, OpenGL®ES2.0 3D and OpenVG™, giving the processor incredible graphical
performances (OpenVG™accelerator is not available with i.MX6 Solo and Dual Lite processors).
The board is completed with up to 4GB DDR3 (up to 2GB with i.MX6 Solo) directly soldered on board, and one eMMC Flash Disk, directly accessible like any
standard Hard Disk, with up to 32GB of capacity.
The board can support up to three independent displays using dedicated video interfaces of the module: the first one, is a 24 bit Single/Dual Channel LVDS
interface, which can be configured to work as two independent 24 bit Single Channel interfaces. The other display interface is i.MX6’s native HDMI port. Please be
aware that using i.MX6 Solo and i.MX6 Dual Lite processors, only two independent displays at a time are supported.
HW video decoding, in the most common video coding standards (i.e., H.264, MPEG2, MPEG4, DivX, RealVideo and other), is supported.
Many other features available through the standard Qseven®connector are native for i.MX6 processor: CAN Interface, UART interfaces, SD/SDIO/MMC interface,
PCI-Express x1, SATA (not available with i.MX6 Solo and Dual Lite), 2 x PWM Channels, Audio, GPI/Os, one USB OTG port.
USB Hi-Speed interface drives an SMSC USB2514 USB2.0 Hi-Speed USB Hub Controller, which allows the board to have 4 USB 2.0 Host Ports.
RGMII i.MX6 native interface is internally carried to a Micrel KSZ9031RN Ethernet Transceiver, allowing the implementation of a Gigabit Ethernet interface
The Lattice CPLD mounted on board, makes available LPC Bus, one additional PWM Channel and one Timer input.
For external interfacing to standard devices, a carrier board with a 230-pin MXM connector is needed. This board will implement all the routing of the interface
signals to external standard connectors, as well as integration of other peripherals/devices not already included in Q7-928 CPU module.
Furthermore, an FFC/FPC connector is provided to give access to Image Processing Unit of i.MX6 processor, which supports multiple formats and can be
connected to a wide variety of image sensors for video-preview, video-record and frame grabbing applications. Interfacing is possible using the direct parallel
interface or the integrated MIPI/CSI interface (both available on the same connector).

2.3Electrical Specifications
According to Qseven®specifications, Q7-928 board needs to be supplied only with an external +5VDC power supply.
5 Volts standby voltage needs to be supplied for working in ATX mode.
For Real Time Clock working and CMOS memory data retention, it is also needed a backup battery voltage. All these voltages are supplied directly through card
edge fingers (see connector’s pinout).
All remaining voltages needed for board’s working are generated internally from +5V_S power rail.
2.3.1 Power Consumption
Q7-928 module, like all Qseven®modules, needs a carrier board for its normal working. All connections with the external world come through this carrier board,
which provide also the required voltage to the board, deriving it from its power supply source.
Anyway, it has been possible to measure power consumption directly on +5V_S power rail that supplies the board.

Please consider that power consumption is strongly dependent on the board’s configuration, on number of processor cores active and from the interfaces that are
SW enabled. PCI-express and SATA interface are particularly significant for power consumption, so it is strongly recommended to disable them (via SW) if they are
not used.
2.3.2 Power Rails meanings
In all the tables contained in this manual, Power rails are named with the following meaning:
_S: Switched voltages, i.e. power rails that are active only when the board is in ACPI’s S0 (Working) state. Examples: +3.3V_S, +5V_S.
_A: Always-on voltages, i.e. power rails that are active both in ACPI’s S0 (Working), S3 (Standby) and S5 (Soft Off) state. Examples: +5V_A, +3.3V_A.
Other suffixes are used for application specific power rails, which are usually derived from same value of voltage, switched rails (for example, +3.3V_CAM is
derived from +3.3V_S, and so on).
2.3.3 Inrush current
In the following pictures are shown the inrush current relative to the total current drawn by Q7-928 module (with the only exception of the battery absorbed by the
battery, drawn from VCC_RTC pin).
Measurements have been made on all modules of Qseven i.MX6 family, no significant differences exist between various modules. For this reason, only graphs
related to i.MX6 Solo equipped with 512MB of DRAM and i.MX6 Quad with 4GB of DRAM are shown.
Current measurements are made using a Current Probe Chauvin Arnoux E3N 10-100A/V and an Oscilloscope Tektronix TDS2022C

2.4 Mechanical Specifications
According to Qseven®specifications, board dimensions are: 70 x 70 mm (2.76”x 2.76”).
Printed circuit of the board is made of ten layers, some of them are ground planes, for
disturbance rejection.
The MXM connector accommodates various connector heights for different carrier board
applications needs. Qseven®specification suggests two connector heights, 7.8mm and
7.5mm, but it is also possible to use different connector heights, also remaining compliant
to the standard.
When using different connector heights, please consider that, according to Qseven®
specifications, components placed on bottom side of Q7-928 will have a maximum height
of 2.2mm ± 0.1. Keep this value in mind when choosing the MXM connector’s height, if it is
necessary to place components on the carrier board in the zone below the Qseven®
module.
