RLCS V4 Clientside Board

../../_images/clientside-board.png

RLCS V4 Clientside board is the SRAD PCB inside the Clientside. The board connects to all internal electrical components in clientside. The board has a 5-12V to 3.3V buck converter to provide power to MCU, Ethernet Controller+PHY IC and missile switches. A 5-12V to 5V buck converter/switching circuit for providing power to LCD display. Ethernet Controller+PHY IC and Ethernet Jack with built-in magnet for Ethernet connection. A UART screw terminal as a back up solution of Ethernet does not work at board bring-up.

Requirements (ClientsideBoard)

Clientside Board Requirements

Req. ID

Description

Justification/Parent Requirement

MECH. 1

Board shall have M3 mounting holes

Mount to RLCS Clientside face plate

MECH. 2

Board should be stacked vertically with LCD Display, with matching mounting hole with LCD display, and matching vertical electrical connector

Vertical connector can be used to ensure stable connection

ELEC. 1 (TODO)

Board should have power priority switching between LiPo 12V and USB VBUS(5V)

Usually USB is connected to a computer with “unlimited” power source, so it should be priority

ELEC. 2

Board shall have a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection(refer to diagram above)

For communicate with towerside GLS board through local network

ELEC. 3

Board shall have 3.3V LVCMOS UART connection

Backup if ethernet doesn’t work

ELEC. 4

Board shall have a 3.3V output screw terminal(should be on same screw terminal as UART)

To power UART-Ethernet converter if the board’s built-in ethernet Does not work

ELEC. 5

Board shall have DNP Keystone 5000 series testpoint on all on-board digital communication lines

For debug with a logic analyzer later

ELEC. 6

Board shall have a Type-B USB Connector, USB shall have ESD protection

The board can be used for data logging

ELEC. 7

Board shall have a screw terminal for connecting to missile switches(refer to Clientside MECH.3 requirement), fire button and keylock switch

?

ELEC. 8

Board shall have a screw terminal to supply missile switch LED power, need to able to supply 300mA

TODO: calc

ELEC. 9

Board shall have SMD 0805 LED for each voltage power rail and 5 LED connect to MCU GPIO for debugging purpose

.

ELEC. 10

TODO LED on panel

.

ELEC. 11

If required the LCD interface circuit shall have proper level shifting

.

ELEC. 12

There shall be voltage sensing on VBUS and LiPo power input

.

ELEC. 13

There shall be current sense on VBUS and LiPo power input, 3.3V power output and power output to LCD display

.

ELEC. 14

There shall be a screw terminal connect to a potentiometer for controlling LCD brightness/contrast
