Definition of Terms

The definitions of terms used in this document are as follows.

Term Description

OBC

Refers to the SC-OBC Module A1.

TRCH

Abbreviation for Timing, Reset, Configuration & Health Controller. The OBC employs the PIC16LF877.

FPGA

Abbreviation for Field Programmable Gate Array. The OBC uses the Artix-7 from AMD (formerly Xilinx).

Dev Board

Refers to the SC-OBC Module A1 Development Board.

Universal Area

Refers to the area on the Dev Board containing a group of unconnected through-holes arranged at a 2.54mm pitch.

UIO1

Refers to User IO Group 1 within the OBC’s FPGA.

UIO2

Refers to User IO Group 2 within the OBC’s FPGA.

UIO3

Refers to User IO Group 3 within the OBC’s FPGA.

UIO4

Refers to User IO Group 4 within the OBC’s FPGA.

VIN_A

Indicates one side (System A) of the OBC’s redundant power input.

VIN_B

Indicates another side (System B) of the OBC’s redundant power supply input.

VDD_3V3_SYS

Indicates a voltage output from the OBC. It is a combined voltage generated from the +5V input to VIN_A and VIN_B, used in the OBC’s TRCH and other circuits. For details, refer to the OBC power supply circuit configuration.

VDD_3V3_IO

Indicates a voltage output from the OBC. This is the voltage after VDD_3V3_SYS has passed through additional OBC circuitry, used for components like the OBC FPGA. For details, refer to the OBC power supply circuit configuration.

VDD_3V3_DCDC

Indicates the output (+3.3V) of the buck DC/DC converter circuit (IC13) provided on the Dev Board.

VDD_UIO1

Indicates the power supply to the FPGA Bank to which UIO1 belongs.

VDD_UIO2

Indicates the power supply to the FPGA Bank to which UIO2 belongs.
