2.2 Fusion Board Features
The fusion board features follow:
- Power supply:
- 12-V DC input from a power source or EVM
- Optimized power management solution
- Reverse voltage protection
- eFuse protection, in case of failing sensors
- Selectable 12 V or 5 V to camera/radar modules
- Printed circuit board (PCB):
- Dimensions (W × D): 170 mm × 170 mm
- Expansion connector to the Texas Instruments compatible EMV
- Memory: I2C configuration EEPROM
- Coax/high-speed input:
- Up to eight, high-speed, data inputs connected at once
- Can support up to eight coax inputs, or four coax and four HSD inputs
- Supports a variety of modules including multi-camera, RADAR, and LIDAR inputs
- DS90UB960-Q1 quad deserializer hub:
- Two DS90UB960-Q1 devices, each with a four-channel deserializer with up to eight connected sensors
- Reduce cabling with dual CSI-2 ports
- Can be paired with DS90UB953-Q1 serializers
- Flexible GPIOs for sensor synchronization and diagnostics
- MSP430F2272-Q1 device:
- Hardware strapping allows the MSP430 device to be bypassed (not in circuit)
- Can be used as a housekeeping and configuration microcontroller
- Enables synchronization with the EVM upon power up
- PoC:
- Selectable 12 V or 5 V for camera and radar modules
- Sensor data, I2C control, diagnostics, and power can all be transmitted up to 15 meters on a single, inexpensive, coax cable
- Up to four 8 W and four 1.5 W PoC (sourced from external supply, J14)
- External interfaces:
- 40-pin, CSI-2, LVDS connector
- 10-pin, Aardvark, I2C connector
- MSP430 programming header
- Header pins to the external microcontroller
