This section contains FACE Modules portfolio presentation, general overview, HW specification and block diagrams.


Concept

FACE Module (Function And Connectivity Extension Module) designed as additional/optional system board providing extended functionality and IO connectivity options. The interface between main system board and FACE module implemented with high speed, low pitch, and high pin count board-to-board connectors (B2B). Connectors’ pinout including signals mapping and description described later in this chapter.

Connectors Pinout

The tables below provide complete pinout of extension connectors EXT1, EXT2 and signals mapping.

EXT1 connector HOST side pinout
EXT2 connector HOST side pinout

Layout

Host side extension connector’s footprints with respect to board geometry shown in the below layout captures. Host side extension connectors provide complete Host/FACE Module interface connectivity. FACE Module side may have either both or only one of the connectors, connecting only FACE Module relevant signals.

Note for 180deg orientation offset between the connectors.
