  • Page 8: Functional Description

    PCB information 2.1 Power supply The IMXEBOOKDC5 board gets the primary power supplies from the main board, through its board-to-board connector J15. The primary power supplies are used to produce more (secondary) power supplies to power up the IMXEBOOKDC5 board devices.

  • Page 9: Epdc Board-To-Board Connector

    2.2 EPDC board-to-board connector The IMXEBOOKDC5 board has a 120-pin, 0.5 mm pitch high-speed board-to-board connector J15 (Samtec QTH-060-02-L-D-A) to interface with the main board (MCIMX8ULP-EVK). This connector is plugged into the 120-pin Electrophoretic Display Controller (EPDC) connector (J7) of the MCIMX8ULP-EVK board.
