Definition of Terms
The definitions of terms used in this document are as follows.
- 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 2.54 mm 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 the other side, System B, of the OBC’s redundant power input.
- VDD_3V3_SYS
-
Indicates a voltage output from the OBC. It is a combined voltage generated from the +5 V inputs to VIN_A and VIN_B and is used by 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 voltage is generated after VDD_3V3_SYS passes through additional OBC circuitry and is used by components such as the OBC FPGA. For details, refer to the OBC power supply circuit configuration.
- VDD_3V3_DCDC
-
Indicates the +3.3 V output 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.
