Changes

#1 Changed DDR4 SDRAM (U2, U3, U5, U9) from K4A8G165WB-BIRC to K4A8G165WC-BITDTCV and changed resistor (R65, R82, R86, R87) from 240 Ohm to zero Ohm.

Type: Schematic Change

Reason: EOL of Component.

Impact: DDR timing needs to be considered in customer design. Trenz Reference Design reflects it without changing timing but custom firmware needs to be checked and eventually updated by customer.

#2 Changed power supply structure completely, including increased voltage range for input power rail "VIN" from 5 V to 5 V ... 12 V and changed power-up sequence.

Type: Schematic Change

Reason: Increase current capability and improve noise level.

Impact: Check that new power supply fits your requirements.

#3 Changed MOSFET (T1, T2) from AO7800 to EM6K34T2CR.

Type: Schematic Change

Reason: Improve component placing.

Impact: None. Minor changes in electrical characteristics.

#4 Changed crystal CX3225SB54000 (Y1) to ECS-540-8-33-JTN-TR.

Type: Schematic Change

Reason: BOM Optimization.

Impact: None. Minor changes in electrical characteristics.

#5 Changed MEMS oscillator (U12) from SiT8008AI-73-XXS-52.000000E to SiT8008BI-73-XXS-52.000000E

Type: BOM change

Reason: EOL of Component.

Impact: None. Clock revision changed.

#6 Modified I2C structure.

  • Divided 1.8 V I2C voltage level to 1.8 V voltage level part and 3.3 V voltage level part via voltage level translator (U26).
  • Moved EEPROM (U23) from 1.8 V I2C voltage level part to 3.3 V I2C voltage level part. Changed supply voltage for EEPROM (U23) from 1.8 V to 3.3 V.
  • Added CryptoAuthentication chip (U27 [REV03]) to 3.3 V I2C part.

Type: Schematic Change

Reason: Added CryptoAuthentication unit and improved I2C functionality.

Impact: None.

#7 Modified LED circuit:

  • Added level shifter (U19) to connect LEDs from 1.8 V voltage rail to 3.3 V voltage rail.
  • Changed 39 Ohm series resistors (R77A ... R77D) to 1 kOhm resistors (R77, R130, R132, R134).
  • Renamed LED designators according to following table.

Old designator

(TE0835-02)

New designator

(TE0835-03)

D2LED0
D3LED1
D4LED2
D5LED3

Type: Schematic Change

Reason: Improve LED behaviour.

Impact: None.

Impact: None.

#11 Added pull-up resistor for signal "FPGA_IO0" (R154) and "FPGA_IO1" (R155).
