About the ConnectCore 6 Plus

The ConnectCore 6 Plus is an ultra-compact and highly integrated system-on-module solution based

on the NXP i.MX6QP Cortex-A9 processor family.

With processor speed up to 1.0 GHz, the ConnectCore 6 Plus offers a truly future-proof platform

solution with scalable performance and pre-certified dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) with

Bluetooth 4.2 dual mode connectivity.

Its innovative and scalable design maximizes integration flexibility and significantly reduces design

risk in a highly cost-effective, reliable, low-profile surface mount form factor with optimal thermal

management even in the most demanding quad-core system configurations.

Seamless Cloud Connector integration as part of the Digi Linux and Android software platform support

offers secure remote management and web services capabilities through the scalable Digi Remote

Manager.

In addition, Digi offers custom Remote Manager hardware and wireless design services as well as end-

to-end solutions services for cloud integration and app development.

This System-On-Module aims to be the next generation of the ConnectCore 6 Plus for i.MX6 family

modules and is pin-to-pin compatible with them.

About the ConnectCore 6 Plus Features and functionality

ConnectCore 6 Plus Hardware Reference Manual 6

Note To serve our customers most effectively, Digi International Inc. has consolidated our cloud

services, Digi Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager®, under the Remote Manager name. This phased

process does not affect device functionality or the functionality of the web services and other

features. However, you will find instances of both Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager in some

documentation, firmware, and user interfaces.

About the ConnectCore 6 Plus Power supply architecture

ConnectCore 6 Plus Hardware Reference Manual 8

Power supply architecture

The ConnectCore 6 Plus provides a primary 5 V power supply input. This supply is the main power

domain to the on-module Dialog DA9063 power management IC (PMIC), which generates all required

supply voltages for the module components as well as the carrier board.

The module provides support for a backup battery (coin-cell or super cap) powering the real-time

clock (RTC) on the module. In addition, rechargeable backup batteries (ML414, others) are also

supported.

The PMIC generates the following power domains that are available on the module pads:

nOne PMIC switching regulator:

lVGEN_3V3

Note For information about using the LDO options, please contact Digi.

VLDO3 is used for supplying MCA processor on the module.

The power management IC located on the module is responsible for generating all required i.MX6QP

processor supply voltages. The following i.MX6QP supplies are available on the module pads:

nNVCC_ENET

nNVCC_EIM

nNVCC_LCD

nNVCC_CSI

nNVCC_RGMII

Some of the I/O supplies are set on the module. See the following table:
