This section provides an overview of the Quartz CPU Module and its capabilities. Click the block diagram below for a larger image.
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Freescale Vybrid System-on-Chip | Quartz supports VF6xx Vybrid parts from Freescale Semiconductor. |
| DDR3 RAM | RAM for the module is provided by on-board SRAM (up to 1.5MBytes depending on the Vyrbid variant) and DDR3 memory. Quartz is fitted with 256MBytes DDR3 as standard. |
| NAND Flash | Storage for programs and data is provided by on-board NAND flash. |
| Networking | Vybrid includes 2 Ethernet MAC as part of the chip, and Quartz includes up to 2 Micrel KSZ8051 PHYs to drive these. |
| Power Supply | Quartz is powered by a single 3.3V supply. All other power rails for the Vybrid SoC and DDR3 are included on the module. |
| Connection | The CN module uses 2 x HIROSE 100-pin connectors. The mechanical details section page has more information including part numbers and recommended PCB footprint. All Vybrid signals are available on the connectors, including signals that are used on the module. Information will be added for the LGA module when the design is complete |
