TCI6630K2L / 66aK2L06 D/S issues.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TCI6630K2L

Hi All,

Could you please help in clarifying  TCI6630K2L rev.E D/S :

  1. SPI2DIN/SPI2DOUT pin-out

    page 39 :

    SPI2DIN     J4

    SPI2DOUT   K4

    But on page 48, both are inverted :

    SPI2DIN     K4

    SPI2DOUT   J4



  2. connectivity for signal AF8, given that D/S says 'NC' while EVM design shows connectivity to VPP1V8 and capacitor towards GND.

Thanks & Regards

  • Hi PM,

    I've confirmed that SPI2DIN should be on pin K4 and SPI2DOUT should be on pin J4 as shouwn on page 48. I will file a bug against the data manual to get it corrected. For customer designs, AF8 should be left unconnected. The connection to 1.8V on the EVM was included for internal testing purposes.

  • Hi Bill,

    Sorry, but I'm still not clear with this since D/S says that SPI2DOUT is muxed with UART1CTS while SPI2DIN is muxed with UART1RTS and EVM Schematics shows that UART1CTS(SPI2DOUT) is on K4 and that UART1RTS(SPI2DIN) is on J4.

    Where's the error then ?

     

    Thanks & Regards

  • Hi PM,
    In the data manual table 6-2 and 6-5 are incorrect while table 6-4 is correct. UART1CTS, which is an input to the device, is shared with SPI2DIN on pin K4. UART1RTS, which is an output from the device, is shared with SPI2DOUT on pin J4. The EVM schematic includes an older naming convention but is correct. You can see that pin K4 is labeled UART1CTS_SPI2SOMI where SOMI stands for 'slave out, master in'. This was changed to DIN since the K2L doesn't support SPI in slave mode. The EVM schematic does have the signal direction indicators for the module ports reversed. The direction indicates that CTS is an output and RTS is an input but CTS is always an input and RTS is always an output for RS-232.
