Power and Power-On Sequence

The TEI0001 module needs one single power supply of 5.0 V nominal. A power supply with minimum current capability of 1 A is recommended.

The power for the FPGA module can be supplied through either the Micro USB connector J9 via supply line 'USB-VBUS' or alternative through pin header J2 via supply line 'VIN'.

*) Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these
   or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Condition. Exposure to absolute-maximum rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Recommended Operating Conditions

This TRM is generic for all variants. Temperature range can be different in dependence to the assembly variant. The Voltage Ranges should not be affected by assembly variants (exceptions are possible, depending on custom request)

Temperature range

The modules components are capable of being operated at commercial-grade temperatures, which cover at least the range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

The operating temperature range depends also on customer design and cooling solution.

WEEE

Information for users within the European Union in accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Users of electrical and electronic equipment in private households are required not to dispose of waste electrical and electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste and to collect such waste electrical and electronic equipment separately. By the 13 August 2005, Member States shall have ensured that systems are set up allowing final holders and distributors to return waste electrical and electronic equipment at least free of charge. Member States shall ensure the availability and accessibility of the necessary collection facilities. Separate collection is the precondition to ensure specific treatment and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment and is necessary to achieve the chosen level of protection of human health and the environment in the European Union. Consumers have to actively contribute to the success of such collection and the return of waste electrical and electronic equipment. Presence of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment results in potential effects on the environment and human health. The symbol consisting of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates separate collection for waste electrical and electronic equipment.
