AFE-CARRIER-MVK MAVRK Module

Board Status: Level 6

= Purpose of this Wiki Page =

This page discusses the Modular and Versatile Reference Kit (MAVRK) AFE Carrier module. The AFE-CARRIER-MVK interfaces 1 or 2 AFE Sub-Modules (ADCs, DACs, PGAs) with the MAVRK AFE slot. It can also be used as an interface between a MAVRK AFE sub-module and the SM-USB-DIG Platform.

= EVM Overview =

This section contains general information pertinent to this module.

EVM Description
The AFE-CARRIER-MVK serves an an interface between MAVRK AFE Sub-Modules (ADCs, DACs, PGAs) and the MAVRK Motherboard. A single AFE Carrier board can be used to connect up to 2 AFE sub-modules, daisy-chained or independent from each other, to a MAVRK system. Its companion board, the SCI-CARRIER-MVK, can be used  to condition the inputs to AFE Carrier Sub-Modules (ADCs) or to drive their outputs (DACs).

= Hardware Description =

Power Requirements
The AFE-CARRIER-MVK can be connected to a MAVRK Motherboard through any of the AFE slots. Power (5.5 V) is supplied by the host board through the AFE connectors. DC/DC converters on the AFE Carrier board generate 5 V and 3.3 V rails for the onboard circuitry and AFE sub-modules. A | SM-USB-DIG can also be used to power the AFE Carrier board.

Connector Signal Descriptions
For detailed connector pinout information, see the AFE Pinout for MAVRK.

Getting Started: Configuring the EVM
The preferred method of working with this EVM is through a MAVRK Motherboard. The motherboard, along with a MAVRK MCU module, provides the needed power and digital control for this EVM. When used with the MB-PRO-MVK, the AFE-CARRIER-MVK can be used in any of the 4 AFE slots on the Motherboard. See the Hardware Design Guide for MAVRK AFE Modules for details on how this board communicates with the rest of the system through the AFE-MCU bus.
