Common Processor board supports for Media Local Bus (MLB) interface.
Differential pairs of MLB signals from J721E SoC are routed to Samtec header Mfr. Part# QSH-020-01-L-D-DP-A-K. This interfaces is designed to mate with MicroChip’s MLB Physical interface board. The differential signals are routed with a characteristic impedance of 100E and also a Pull up and Pull-down option is provided for the N and P signals respectively. The reset signal that comes from the expander (I2C ADD# 0x22, I2C0) is availed with a pull down to avoid floating, and the interrupt signal is equipped with a pull up and routed to J721E SoM.
The 12 V and 3.3 V are drawn from the CP board to the connector; the I2C control is provided to the MLB Header from I2C0 port of J721E SoC.
