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. |
