platform with a well defined features set, in 1-DIN format with remote display.
Miscellaneous entertainment functions, like analogue and digital tuners, CD Audio Disks,
MP3/MP4/DiVx from USB, will be combined with a multimodal MMI (voice recognition or haptic
controller based) for vehicle settings, climate, entertainment, etc.
Interconnection with the Car Network is provided with CAN (high speed) and MOST (25 Mbit/s);
additionally an Ethernet link is present for housekeeping aspects.
A standard MOST/CAN Gateway (UGW) and the complete MOST master functionality are included.

The HW architecture will be modified in order to host BMW specific contents like BTwi to take
advantage of technology evolution like the DDRII support.
The Logic Core Board includes the main CPU and Memories, while the Main Board includes most of the
interfaces toward car’s system.
The Power Board implements the Audio Power Section, some specific interfaces and part of the power
supply block, while the multimedia functions, depending on destination markets, are implemented in
the Multimedia Board.
The concept is to have four different boards conceived with an optimized functional partitioning that
allow the flexibility to cover variants and evolution of the platform at a reasonable cost.
In this way it will be possible for instance to upgrade the logic core according to the market
performance requirements in a given timeframe, by means of a replacement of the logic core board
and without affecting motherboard, resulting in benefits in terms of development cost and validation.
The cost is optimized too by building a large and rather simple PCB (MainBoard) and packing the high
integrated component on a smaller and more complicated one (Logic Core Board or Daughter board)
Variants and optional functions are implemented in the Main Board and Multimedia Board by means of
depopulation and/or specific layout, while Logic Core and Power Board are stable in the various
configurations with the exception of the memories size.

The system is over-current protected with a Minifuse integrated in the Main Connector. The Minifuse
limits the current from KL30B at a typical value of 15A (to be confirmed for the B Sample).
The HU is powered by the KL30B supply line that is switched OFF some minutes after that engine is
off.
A KL30B voltage sensor using standard design technique will be implemented in the HU in order to
measure the level of the battery voltage and to implement the required strategy of over/under
voltage.
The following table summarizes the proposal for the main threshold of the power supply range.
Depending on the final implementation and design, suitable thresholds will be fixed in order to
overcome the ±150 mV tolerance required, whilst maintaining the overall requirement about
Over/Under Voltage recognition threshold and operating range.
For example, assuming a threshold of 17V for the short OverVoltage (18V max), the tolerance can be
relaxed without reducing the operative range.

MM proposal for the Operating Temperature Range is based on the maximum internal air temperature
admissible inside the box of the HU. The proposed operating temperature range is summarized in the
following table.
* Thermal Management based on hardware and software strategy will be provided in order to
maintain the internal temperature inside the HU box according to the operating temperature range of
the product. Then some countermeasures could be applied to keep under control the internal
temperature (i.e. fan speed variations, volume limitations, turn-off of not used functional blocks, etc).
The HU will operate in 11 modes of operation (status of the system). These modes of operation have
impact on the power supply management for both the hardware and software issues, and will be
taken into account for the design of the system power supply.
Of course, the most important modes of operation for electronic design, are the Mode 0, Mode 1 and
Mode 2: sleep current minimizing on Mode 0, transition from the sleep and the wake-up events on
Mode1 and the power dissipation on Mode2.
The table below summarizes the modes of operation taking into account the wake-up events and
power supply of the function involved.

The main concepts of the HU power supply proposed architecture are the following:
Power Board
- High current path and interface to the main supply rail are concentrated on the Power Board (PB)
that includes also the audio power amplifier. The power board feeds the main board with a protected
battery voltage power rail. This solution allows to control and dissipates the power thanks to the
heatsink which is directly in contact with the Power Board PCB in the rear of the box.
- A Minifuse, the reverse battery protection, the over-voltage protection and the total current
limitation will also be implemented in the power board.
- The overall current flow of the HU is guaranteed by the Power Board that is also responsible for the
correct power supply protection and filtering. The current sink from the Power Board flows into a
unique supply rail and after a reverse battery protection switch (SW1) and an overvoltage switch
(SW2) goes to the two main loads: the audio power amplifier in the Power Board and the remaining
loads of the systems (MB, DB, MMB).
Filtering
- Separated filtering are used on the power rails for audio power and system boards in order to ensure
proper decoupling, improve the overall electromagnetic immunity and emission and to avoid
interference and crosstalk
The audio amplifier power supply will use locally filtering in order to reduce noise on the audio signals
connected to the loudspeakers.
Some components needs to receive the power supply directly from the Vbat signal, this is the case of
the phantom antenna power supply signals and the battery voltage level measurement and
monitoring; for this a dedicated supply rail, reverse battery protected, is delivered from the PB to MB.
Main Board
- On the Main Board (MB) will be implemented the power supply regulators to serve as central supply
for the on board peripherals; the main board delivers the supply rails at 5V (5.2A max), 3V3 (3.5A)
and battery voltage as derivation at low current from the power board. Dedicated step-up-down dc/dc

The high current DC/DC regulators present on the MB are all synchronous in order to improve the
efficiency of power supply architecture. In particular the controller Maxim MAX15026, used to provide
8V, 5V and 3.3V rails, has external N-MOSFET transistor and Texas Instrument TPS54218, used to
provide 1.8V voltage, is synchronous and monolithic (both high side and low side transistors are
integrated).

- Logic Core Board (DB) receives 5V power supply rail and produces locally the power supplies blocks
needed to feed the high speed, high frequency logic circuitry and devices (CPU and Memories);
moreover, the concept of a de-location topology allows a quicker response to a rapid current
consumption decreasing the inductive value of power path and improving ground noise.
Medium current (>150mA) low voltages supply will be derived from 5V power rail using high
frequency switched dc/dc converter in buck configuration (Step Down configuration).
The local supply concept together with the High Frequency switched mode (>1.7MHz) of buck
regulators allows to reduce ground noise that can impact on the radio receivers, as well as to reduce
crosstalk, interference, emissions and immunity aspects. A tradeoff will be evaluated and fixed in
order to reach the optimal compromise among switching for dc/dc converters, standby current,
emission and cost.
Multimedia Board
- Multimedia Board (MMB) receives battery voltage, 5V and 3V3 power rails from the Main Board; the
low current battery power rail will be used to feed the antennas interfaces while the 5V and 3V3 to
feed directly or via decoupled local regulators the medium currents loads (DAB and SDARS module).
Locally decoupling
- Both LDOs and Step Down regulators will have on the input and output pins several decoupling
capacitors at different values that provide local filtering in a wide frequency bandwidth. Further,
appropriate values of capacitance near to high switching device will be used in order to make the
response to an instantaneous consumption more reactive.
Quiescent currents
- MM proposal is based on using devices with shut-down and quiescent currents as low as possible to
reduce the sleep current consumption at a minimum value. Moreover, mixed HW-SW strategy aimed
to further decrease the sleep current will be analyzed carefully as well.
The reverse battery protection will be designed using a back to back configuration of very low on
resistance and high current power MOSFETs. This proposal will reduce drop voltage and power
dissipation respect to other traditional solutions using direct forward schottky diodes. The actual
implementation will be done with two Power N-Channel MOSFETs. The application circuit, used and
tested in similar application is shown in the following figure and is built around two FDD8870, Q1 and
Q2, featuring a maximum Rdson of 60mΩ at VSG of 10V and 175°C of Tj.
The power devices FDD8870, or similar equivalent device, will have a DPACK(TO252) package capable
to handle more than 30A.
The both the MOS are always ON during normal condition while will be automatically turned OFF on
reverse battery condition, allowing to block any reverse current thanks to the reverse biased internal
diode. Both the NMOS will be turned OFF in over-voltage condition in order to disconnect all loads.
The controlled signal will be derived directly from standard discrete circuitry that monitor the battery
status, or as alternative, will derived from a mixed hardware/software solution involving the controller
of the Main board.

4.3.6 RAD_ON
MM HW proposal is to implement this function with an High Side switch connected to the power
supply rail with a Rdson that fulfill the request (1V drop at 500mA); the switch is controlled by the
microcontroller.
The RAD_ON switches will be built around an High Side, smart power switch device like the BSP452
by Infineon. A shottky diode (1A, 40V reverse) will be provided in series connections to avoid spurious
recirculation currents flowing from external load and injected inside the HU.

A first estimation of the total current consumption for the loads present on the Power Board, on Main
Board, on the Logic Core Board and on the Multimedia is described in the following table:

The data of the above table have been estimated by averaging typical and maximum current
consumption of main devices, taking into account an efficiency of 90% for dc/dc and 99% for linear
regulator. Then the results have been compared with actual data of similar product.
A first estimation for the absolute maximum current gives a value of 12.5 A. The maximum current is
reached at a battery voltage of 12V.

Therefore, a Minifuse of 15 A is the starting value for strong current limitation. The final type and
rated current will be fixed on B sample design.
Temperature sensors will be implemented in order to measure the ambient temperature around the
most critical chips and activates software thermal management strategy in order to keep the air
temperature inside the HU box under the maximum allowable by the electronics devices.
The low current consumption in sleep mode has several impact and depend on the system
requirements listed below:
Sleep Current must be achieved within 45 seconds, after the shut-down of the HU.
In our proposal, the transition from the stand-by state to the operative state can be forced by three
different waking events, after KL30B is turned On:
• CAN signal
• MOST activity
• Insertion of a CD media on the CD drive
All these events are managed by the microcontroller (uC) device present on the Mother Board. The
same uC wakes the overall system enabling the not-standby power supply regulator in according to
the appropriate power-on timings of the components in the HU.
This procedure requires that the u-Controller stay in a low power consumption state, called sleep
mode, when the HU is turned off. In sleep mode condition the uC works at lower frequency than the
operative frequency and only the wait circuits are supplied in order to allow a very low current
consumption.
In the following table is showed the current consumption of devices supplied in stand-by mode. The
current consumption is considered at a battery voltage value of 12 V :

The Sleep Current will be less than 400 uA in the above mentioned condition. However, design effort
will be done in order to use components and circuit that will reduce this value.
Note: the previous value of 400 uA already include the loss of the stand-by regulator at 3.3 V.
In the previous section, the maximum peak current has been estimated in order to fix a target for the
design of power supply blocks and define a limit for the absolute maximum input current of the HU.
From that data a maximum peak input power can be estimated in about 150W considering a
maximum peak input power of the Audio amplifier of 96W.
Data coming from experimental results and for analogy with similar telematics product in production
since many years, show that the maximum average power dissipation range between 20% and 40%
of the total peak power, considering realistic operational power consuming activities of a complex
telematic box of 1DIN. Hence, the resulting realistic power dissipation for the HU can be estimated
around 25W plus the power dissipation required by the audio amplifier. Realistic max power
dissipation for the Audio power is around 25W, considering an output power of 2W per channel.
For comparison, the following pictures show the results of Flowterm simulations of a telematic box in
the following condition:
The equivalent thermal resistance from the bottom of Daughter board PCB and the external ambient
temperature, at power of 6 W is 20 °C / 6 W= 3.3 °C/W.
The equivalent thermal resistance from top heat sink and the ambient temperature, at power of 14 W
(Audio Power) is 38 °C / 14 W= 2.7 °C/W; for analogy, the target for the HU have to be less than 1.9
°C/W to sustain a max power dissipation of 20 W inside the Power Board PCB; to reach this target the
heat sink will be cooled down by the fan air flow.
The major critical issues to take under control during development will be the following:
• The max temperature on external part of the HU Box (heat sink metallic parts of rear cover)
cannot exceed the maximum temperature allowable of 100°C.
• Logic Core Board (DDRII SDRAM, CPU case temperature)

The major issues to address and take into account for thermal management will be:
• Size and weight of the HU Box
• Efficiency of fan air flow
• Multilayer PCB with extensively usage of thermal vias
• Selection of IC package with the lowest thermal resistance and maximum operating junction
temperature (>120°C).
• HW/SW power management aimed to turn-off or configure in low power mode the functions
or application software non active
• HW/SW configuration of audio power in High efficiency mode (switched class B mode)
whenever possible according to the volume set and environment condition
• Thermal simulations and experimental measurements to check the implementation and
increase confidence of the thermal simulation models used
• Thermal management based on control of fan air flow, aimed to maintain internal
temperature inside the box under a reasonable limit, not exceeding the allowable operating
ambient temperature of critical device (<85°C) up to 65°C of ambient temperature external to
the HU box; it will take into account the following inputs:
o HW/SW function activities
o thermal sensor inside the box
o thermal sensors inside critical devices (audio power, CPU, CD, tuners)

A SW thermal management, working in combination with information coming from hardware circuit
and thermal sensor located in specific part of the electronics board, will be implemented in order to
keep the ambient temperature inside the box at a safe temperature, not exceeding the rated ambient

exceed an internal ambient temperature greater than 85°C by exploiting the air flow capability of the
fan that can deliver up to 4.47 liters per second.

MSA support requires an extended operating voltage supply range from 8V up to 14.V according to
GS95003-2 general requirement (dynamic I), instead of the nominal operating voltage 9V ≤ Vbat ≤
16V.
The HU parts that have major impact on MSA support are the CD-ROM drive, the Power amplifier, the
display and microphone interfaces. All these blocks require a supply voltage of 8V, but the Power
Amplifier that at 9V of battery voltage is in un-mute state. These operating voltage ranges are not
suitable for the operating voltage range required by the MSA, hence an extra performance is required
to the HU to support the automatic start.
The MM proposal is to design an HU able to be fully functional from 6.5 V up to 18 V. To obtain this
goal in the Main Board is present a DC/DC converter step up/down for the critical voltage of 8V. The
other loads are at maximum voltage supply value of 5V that can be reached with a minimum battery
voltage of 6.5V. According to BMW requirements the Audio Amplifier could be set in un-mute state at
a voltage lower than 9V, so it’s not necessary to boost the battery voltage to supply it.

The System Memory will use 1 GByte of DDRII type SDRAM with a bus width of 16 bit, so eight chips
will be required each of size 64 Mb x16 (128 MB). A Micron SDRAM DDRII like the MT47H64M16, in a
FBGA84 package will be used
A dedicated NAND high speed FLASH will be used in order to support a fast start up time. The system
will be equipped with a minimum size of 512 MByte to store the main important application software
that must be ready as soon as possible after the power on.
The Logic Core Board will be supplied by 5V power supply coming from the Main Board. The local
supply voltages will be derived from the 5V rail by step-down dc-dc converter and LDO regulators.
The reason to use delocalized power supply concept is to maintain under control noise, power
dissipation, as well as EMC immunity and emissions. The power supply blocks do have enabled signal
controlled by the Main board’s microcontroller. A Smart Reset with supplies voltage monitoring will be
used for the Hardware reset of the logic devices; however, all the reset signal are OR wired with the
control signal of the microcontroller of the main board.
The target at maximum current will allow to avoid starvation of current during peak of activities for all
the high speed devices (CPU, DDRII SDRAM memory). However, maximum average power output
power lies in the 40% ÷ 60% range of the maximum output power.
Localized power supplies dc-dc converters and LDO regulators will be used inside the Logic Core
Board, in order to spread as much as possible the power dissipation through the allowable size of the
PCB and avoid hot spot areas; moreover, using several power supply stages with moderate output
power (less than 4W) will allow better flexibility for the layout design of PCB, and cost optimization.
Thermal simulation will be carried out in order to manage the required power dissipation taking into
account thermal resistance data, PCB layers and FAN air cooling.
A big attention will be paid in order to exploit maximum efficiency of the thermal resistance of PCB
(with extensively use of thermal vias) and device packages, as well as efficiency of the air flux of the
internal fan.
The main concept of the start-up procedure after power on is the following:
1. Step1: uC in the main board is woken-up from sleep mode or turned-on from KL30B power
on; after reset time, the uController manage the following tasks:
a. Enables power supply of the Logic Core Board to allow BIOS execution via SPI.
b. Enable and configure MOST and CAN functions.
c. Manage early communication for Gateway MOST/CAN.

power supplies in the microcontroller. This circuit perform a single function: it asserts a reset signal
whenever the VCC supply voltage declines below a preset threshold, keeping it asserted for at specific
time delay (eg. 140ms for MAX809), after VCC has risen above the reset threshold. However, these
kind of devices area is available in different versions (eg. Threshold, timing, reset output active

Therefore the MPC5668G has integrated a hardware watchdog timer, useful to monitor the program
executions and detects automatically defective programs.
The goal is to control the status of the battery in order to manage the system power management.
Specific hardware circuits are used to know, for example, if the voltage of the battery is in a correct
range of values or if it is under a specific threshold.
A SW power management, working in combination with information coming from the hardware circuit
will be implemented.
The MPC5668G has the capability to reduce the power consumption. Infact, a power control is
integrated inside the microcontroller. It can works in the following modes:
• sleep mode
• normal operating mode.
MM proposal is to configure the secondary microcontroller in sleep mode because is the most power-
saving. due to all oscillators and resonators are stopped. That is, the CPU and peripheral functions,
perated by the CPU clock and peripheral clock, also stop.
Even in this case the secondary microcontroller is able to handle the wake up for CAN via dedicated
wake-up interrupt and from MOST via external interrupt pin.

goal is to control the FAN in order to never exceed an internal ambient temperature greater then 85
°C.
A SW thermal management, working in combination with information coming from hardware circuit
will be implemented.
In order to read the temperature from the thermal sensor, MM proposal is to use the A/D converter
built inside the uC. The A/D converter consists of one 10-bit successive approximation A/D converter
with a capacitive coupling amplifier. The result of an A/D conversion is stored into the A/D registers
corresponding to selected pins.
The fan speed is controlled with a PWM signal using an output compare of the microcontroller and
measuring the fan speed through an input capture.
MM proposal for log & trace purposes is tu use a standard UART interface directly connected to the
secondary microcontroller (MPC5668) through an RS232 transceiver (the Maxim MAX3221E).

The TJA1041 can operate in different modes, each with specific features. Control pins STB and EN
select the operating mode.
Normal operating mode is the mode for normal bi-directional CAN communication. The receiver will
convert analog data on the bus signal (pins CANH and CANL) into digital data, available for output to
pin RXD. The transmitter will convert digital data on pin TXD into a differential analog signal, available
for output to the bus pins.
Bus pins are biased at 2.5 Volt.
The sleep mode is entered via the undervoltage detection time on either VCC or VI/O elapses before
that voltage level has recovered or via C-CAN2_STB and C-CAN2_EN signals.
In sleep mode pin INH is set floating. This pin is used to wake-up the system when CAN activity is
detected on the bus.
Termination resistor (R342 and R343) are provided for terminating/no terminating node
implementation.

The OS81060 is connected to the secondary microcontroller MPC5668G via the Media Local Bus
(MediaLB) serial port. The MPC5668G control the INIC either via MLB or via I2C serial port. The
Network port TX/RX connects the OS81060 to the Optical Tranceiver. Moreover, the streaming port is
used to transmit a multiplexed digital signal, an I2S/TDM at 8 stereo channels, to the MOST Network.
The bi-directional I2S/TDM channel connects the synchronous channel of Logic core with the external
device connected to the MOST Network.
The device is powered by a 3V3 and 1V8 supply voltages; a command for the Reset is managed.
The Network Port can be configured as a network timing-master or timing-slave. As a timing-slave, the
OS81060 internal timing is clocked from the recovered network clock. As a timing-master, the OS81060
internal timing and the network clock are determined by an external crystal. An internal PLL in the
Clock Manager multiplies the external timing source for the generation of internal clocks. The receiver
input pin (RX) is over-sampled by a high-frequency clock and data is recovered by a digital state
machine.
The MediaLB Port is the primary interface between the EHC and the OS81060, and supports all types of
data transport methods supported by the network. The Control Port is the second interface between

the EHC and the OS81060, and supports message-based packet and control data. The Control Port also
allows the EHC to enable and configure the MediaLB Port.
The Streaming Port provides a gateway for high-speed streaming data between the OS81060 and
external legacy devices such as ADCs, DACs, or co-processors. Some Streaming Port and MediaLB Port
modes are mutually exclusive.
After reset, the OS81060 automatically interacts with the network, performing all necessary low-level
network management functions. This enables the EHC to configure its interface to the OS81060 when
the application is ready.
It is connected to the secondary microcontroller MPC5668G via the Media Local Bus (MediaLB) serial
port. The MPC5668G control the INIC via I2C serial port. The Network port TX/RX connects the
OS81050 to the Optical Tranceiver. Moreover, the streaming port is used to transmit a multiplexed
digital signal, an I2S/TDM at 8 stereo channels, to the MOST Network. The bi-directional I2S/TDM
channel connects the synchronous channel of Logic core with the external device connected to the
MOST Network.
The 44 pin package OS81050 device is available in the standard temperature range of -40°C to 85°C
as well as in the extended temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, so there is enough flexibility to select
the right version depending on the final requirement for the operating temperature range, measured
inside the HU Box.
The device is powered by a single 3V3 supply voltage; a command for the Reset is managed.
A typical MOST Network node would consist of the physical-layer devices connected to the MOST
Network, the OS81050 to handle the low-level protocols, and an External Host Controller (EHC) for the
mid- to high-level functions. This configuration eliminates the need for the user to implement the
lower levels of the MOST Specification protocol, thereby drastically shrinking development time.

• Module height (max) 1.20 mm
Power Supply:
The Network Port can be configured as a network timing-master or timing-slave. As a timing-slave, the
OS81050 internal timing is clocked from the recovered network clock. As a timing-master, the OS81050
internal timing and the network clock are determined by an external crystal. An internal PLL in the
Clock Manager multiplies the external timing source for the generation of internal clocks. The receiver
input pin (RX) is over-sampled by a high-frequency clock and data is recovered by a digital state
machine.

The MediaLB Port is the primary interface between the EHC and the OS81050, and supports all types of
data transport methods supported by the network. The Control Port is the second interface between
the EHC and the OS81050, and supports message-based packet and control data. The Control Port also
allows the EHC to enable and configure the MediaLB Port.
The Streaming Port provides a gateway for high-speed streaming data between the OS81050 and
external legacy devices such as ADCs, DACs, or co-processors. Some Streaming Port and MediaLB Port
modes are mutually exclusive.
After reset, the OS81050 automatically interacts with the network, performing all necessary low-level
network management functions. This enables the EHC to configure its interface to the OS81050 when
the application is ready.
The Optical link selected is the Tyco 5-09603284 pigtail for MOST.
It is composed by:
• The Fiber Optic Transmitter (FOX) together with the Fiber Optic Receiver (FOR);
• The Plastical Optical Fiber (POF);
• The pinheader.
MM proposal is to use the Avago ODIN_MOT4_02 device as FOX device and Avago ODIN_MOR4_02
as FOR device. Both the devices are available in the extended temperature range of -40°C to 95 °C.

through the FOT ENABLE signal.
The OS81050 INIC provides the ability to attenuate network optical power, by controlling the optical
power output of the FOX with FOT INIC PWR.
The current consumption depends on the settings of Rext. The nominal value for Rext is 15 kΩ. With
Rext = 30 kΩ the optical output power is about -3 dB of the nominal value.
The figure below shows the typical dependency of average optical output power (Popt) and Supply
Current versus External Resistor.
The maximum current consumption for the FOR device is 28.5 mA. When the FOR doesn’t receive
data from the POF (dark condition) the maximum current consumption is only 15 uA in sleeping
condition mode. For more details, see also the table below:

Most of the current MM navigation systems are not requiring any gyroscope for navigation; the
information needed for the Dead Reckoning algorithm are achieved by gathering and processing the
differential odometers messages received through the CAN network.
So, on the Entry Nav offer, MM will insert, just as an option, the possibility to mount a gyroscope as a
backup solution, in case of the Dead Reckoning algorithm won’t work correctly.
Gyroscopes measure the angular velocity of the system in the inertial reference frame. By using the
original orientation of the system in the inertial reference frame as the initial condition and integrating
the angular velocity, the system's current orientation is known at all times.
Accelerometers measure the linear acceleration of the system in the inertial reference frame, but in
directions that can only be measured relative to the moving system (since the accelerometers are
fixed to the system and rotate with the system)
The LIS3LV02DQ is a three axes digital output linear accelerometer that includes a sensing element
and an IC interface able to take the information from the sensing element and to provide the
measured acceleration signals to the external world through an I2C serial interface.

Together with the LVDS transmission, the APIX2 device is able to perform a bi-directional control data
transmission. The downstream control data to CID is merged together the video download stream on
the first differential pair, meanwhile the upstream control data is transmitted on a different differential
pair. The use of a separated and dedicated channel for the upstream control data from CID agrees
with recommendation of Inova in order to reduce EMI effect in automotive solution.
Up to 24 bit of parallel pixel data representing the pixel RGB values is received via the pixel interface.
The parallel pixel interface supports pixel formats of 10, 12, 18 and 24 bit + 3 control signals. Pixel
data and control signals are combined with the pixel interface clock.
The Downstream Channel of control data is merged into the downstream Pixel Channel and contains
the data sampled asynchronously on the SBDOWN_DATA pin at the internally generated sampling
frequency. The sampling frequency at the considered bandwidth (3 Gbps) takes value 30 MHz. The
maximum data rate settable on the upstream interface is 9 Mbit/sec. The downstream control data
and related clock are decoded from the data downstream by the APIX2 receiver device on the receiver
display (CID).
Control data transmission to the display and vice versa is allowed by an SPI connection between the
secondary uProcessor and the APIX2 transmitter (cfr. DOC404).

The radio function may be provided with three tuners named: Main_Tuner, Sub_Tuner and
RDS_Data_Tuner.
Main_Tuner and Sub_Tuner are based on two NXP SAF7700 tuner ICs plus one SAF7741 DSP,
designed to implement a double tuner based on the IF sampling concept to manage AM, FM and RDS.
HD Radio signals are fed on a dedicated I-Q digital bus to be decoded inside the digital radio module
(optional).
The third tuner is based on the Si4762 Silicon Labs chip (base offer) that’s designed for RDS data
decoding and for quality analysis on FM signal level.
Optionally will be replaced by:
1. the Si4761 chip, if HD Radio decoder is present;
2. the Si4760 chip, if the VICS decoder is present.
The radio module is provided with two antenna Fakra connectors: the Main_Tuner is connected on an
A type Fakra connector, the Sub_Tuner is connected on a B type Fakra connector. The RDS data tuner
is connected on the A type Fakra connector, through the Main_Tuner.
The RF front end is compatible with 50 ohm active antennas and is able to deliver an independent
switched phantom power supply to both antennas. Activation or deactivation of each phantom power
supply is managed by uP. Phantom powers are short circuit protected and are under diagnosis (short
circuit, normal load and open circuit). The thresholds can be set by software.

4.19.4 DSP
The DSP SAF7741HV is a combined Intermediate-Frequency (IF) car radio and audio Digital Signal
Processor with several powerful cores integrated onto a single device. It combines analog IF input,
digital radio and audio processing, sample-rate converters and digital and analog audio outputs to
enhance listening clarity and noise suppression while reducing multipath channel effect.
It is equipped to work with the TEF7000 integrated tuners for analog and digital AM/FM decoding and
sound processing.
The SAF7741HV consists of two main processing blocks; one for radio and the other for audio. These
blocks demodulate the low-IF tuner output, delivering digital audio to internal Digital-to-Analog
Converters (DACs). In addition to the main blocks there are a number of interfaces and dedicated
subcircuits.
The IF radio block interfaces to the front-end tuner chips and supports either a so-called low-IF
frequency (of 60 kHz or 300 kHz). Two tuner interfaces are supported, each of which is suitable for
analog Frequency-Modulated/Amplitude-Modulated and Weatherband (FM/AM/WX) radio reception as
well as reception of encoded digital signals such as HD Radio.
Signals received from the tuner front-end chips are digitized with integrated Intermediate-Frequency
Analog-to-Digital Converters . The resulting digital signals are then down-sampled, error corrected and
filtered in the digital domain to be suitable for further radio and audio processing by the DSPs.

Characterisation method
The method for characterisation of tuners is based on the following standards:
• IEC 60315-1: Test methods
• IEC 60315-3: AM characterisation
• IEC 60315-4: FM characterisation
• IEC 60315-9: RDS characterisation
The specification for the FM/AM receiver is based on the parameters having most impact on the
quality of the audio electrical signal:
• signal-to-noise ratio
• total harmonic distortion (THD)
• audio output
• audio frequency response
For all tests without a specifics measurement setting, measurement condition is described on
paragraphs below.
RDS settings
• Stereo modulation with 75 kHz excursion (L+R deviation = 88%, pilot deviation = 8.4%,
RDS deviation = 1,6%)
• Phase relation to the third harmonic of the pilot tone : 0° +/-1°

The TDA7569 is a 4 channels, H bridge power amplifier capable to deliver a power of 28W for each
channel loaded with 4Ω, at Supply voltage of 14,4V and 10% of THD.
The requested output power of 36W/Ω 4 at 13,8V, and 10% of THD, is achieved at supply voltage of
16V. However, the TDA7569 can deliver 15W at 1% TDH on the same load of 4Ω, at the typical
system supply voltage of 12V (see figure below). The device integrate protection circuits and
diagnosis circuits that allow to communicate the status of each speaker via an I2C bus serial port.
The device can operate at supply voltage 6V≤ Vbatt ≤18V, the absolute maximum supply being
limited at 28V (continuous) and 50V (50ms).
Power dissipation is internally limited by thermal warning (155 °C of junction temperature Tj) and
thermal protection circuit (170 °C of junction temperature Tj).
The device is powered from the main supply rail KL30 (or KL30_B) and a circuit for reverse battery
protection will be provided.
The device will be disconnected by the main supply rail during standby mode to reduce sleep current
and for Vbat >16 V to protect the amplifier against over-voltages.
The maximum output peak current is limited at 6A (1kHz, repetitive). The design target is to use the
PSO36 package with slug-up assuring a thermal resistance junction-to-case of 1°C/W. The device will
be implemented in the power board with the slug-up connected to the metallic thermal dissipator to
ensure the proper thermal dissipation. Moreover the air forced by the internal FAN will ensure proper
cooling as per experiences derived from similar application.

The TDA75xx family includes also Flexiwatt27 package and 2 channels version allowing an high
flexibility to choose the best solutions. The equivalent device based on a 2 channels drivers, with the
same features is the TDA7575. Consideration about Power dissipation, thermal design, flexibility and
mechanical assembly design as well as agreement with customer’s request will be taken into account
to choose the final optimal solution based on single chip TDA7569 or dual chip solution TDA7575.
Other alternative solutions, like classe D audio amplifier (digital PWM Audio Power Amplifier) have
been taken into consideration; however, MM realizes that optimal solution as far as regard cost, power
dissipation, size of extra circuit components and board space, is to use well known and robust class
AB devices like the proposed one.

The CD is connected to the Logic Core Module by I2S interface for data and I2C bus for commands.
The Logic Core can reset the CD via the RST signal. 3V3 (200mA max) and 8V (1,8A max ) a power
supply is provided by the Main Board. The proper Power-ON Power-OFF Reset will be implemented,
according to module specification.
In Sleep Mode both the 3V3 and 8V supply are switched OFF in order to save sleep current.
However, the insertion of CD is monitored via the insertion switch pin (47k pull up to 3V3 must be
provided) that sense the status of the internal mechanical switch. Therefore an insertion of media
CD generate an interrupt signal that wakes up the HU to serve CD functionalities. (see next figure)

BMW Navigation system requires 3 axes accelerometer (inertial sensor) in order to measure the linear
and angular accelerations applied to the system.
Accelerometers measure the linear acceleration of the system in the inertial reference frame, but in
directions that can only be measured relative to the moving system (since the accelerometers are
fixed to the system and rotate with the system).
The LIS3LV02DQ is a three axis digital output linear accelerometer that includes a sensing element
and an IC interface able to take the information from the sensing element and to provide the
measured acceleration signals to the external world through an I2C serial interface.

SDARS function is available using an evolution of the Multimedia board that incorporates a Sirius
receiver instead of a DAB module. Similar to DAB Multimedia board, also the SDARS Multimedia board
has the possibility to decode the HDradio.
For HU, the Sirius Gen. 4.5 module manufactured by Sirius is provided.
The concept behind is using external module allow to preserve a common standard electrical pinout,
while increasing features and functionality with succeeding generations. Another benefit comes for the
seamless development and integration in the system, reducing the time to market.
The module incorporates an internal power supply thereby further reducing the complexity of the host
system.
The module will be selected for horizontal moulting, RF antenna pin, integrated memory for Instant
Replay function.
MM will apply to Sirius for the Type Approval of the system (DV and PV).
MM already know this procedure, since it is already on-going with it on a telematic system with a
Sirius external Box for another customer.
Furthermore, MM owns an R&D application center (close to the Sirius HQ) in Farmington Hills (MI)
which can effectively assist in Sirius contact management.
In order to speed-up the develop and test in Italy, we use a Sirius RF stream generator integrating a
software Sirius toolkit made by Averna (Mindready solutions), recommended and approved by Sirius.
MM has access to the Sirius Arena environment for documentation and RX-type norm access.

4.29 FPGA
In the Main Board is present a FPGA used to route audio signals of the DIRANA II RADIO DSP towards
to the FADO MPC5668G and the ESoC3 and to transmit the ASD I2S TDM channels to the D/A
converter. The FPGA is provided by Xilinx and it is a Spartan-3E Automotive device; in particular the
model that will be present in the HU is the XA3S100E.
The Spartan-3E Automotive is a family completely dedicated to the automotive application able to
work in an extended temperature range (-40 / +100 °C) and qualified to the AEC-Q100 standard.
The signals that will be routed to the FPGA are the following:
o 2 x I2S rear set (coming from audio DSP and send to two TDM channels)
o 1 x I2S TDM ASD (2 channels) generated by the MPC5668 and passing through the
FPGA, after the I2S TDM is synchronized with MLB clock
o 1 x I2S TDM (4 bidirectional stereo channels)
o 1 x I2S TTS (coming from 1 TDM channel)
o 1 x I2S entertainment (coming from 1 TDM channel)
The ASD audio channels described above will be serialized into a SPI/I2S TDM compatible interface by
the FPGA and connected to the secondary microcontroller (MPC5668G). The D-SPI (Deserial-Serial
Peripheral Interface) provided by the microcontroller is a high speed channel able to achieve a 20 MHz
communication. The bandwidth provided by the DSPI channel allows to merge together the audio
streams.
4.29.1 Configuration
The FPGA configuration will be done using the same SPI port that after the inizialization of the logic
will connect the microcontroller with the audio DSP and the D/A converter for the ASD. This kind of
configuration is called by Xilinx “Slave serial”.
The configuration code, “bitstream”, has a maximum size of 75 kbyte stored in the internal non-
volatile memory of secondary microcontroller.
Main characteristics:
• Power Supply:
o 1.2V Core Supply
o 2.5V Core Auxiliary Supply
o 3.3V I/O Port Supply
• Operating Junction Temperature range: -40°C to 105°C
• Absolute Maximum Junction Temperature +125°C
• Technology: 90 nm
• 100k gates, equivalent to 2160 logic cells or 960 slices
• Block RAM: 72 kbits, Distributed RAM: 15 kbits
• Package: Very Thin Quad Flat Pack (VQFP) 100 pins
• Available User I/O: 66, Available Differential I/O pairs: 30

The ASD functionality is realized using the secondary microcontroller, the Freescale MPC5668G. The
digital audio stream produced by the microcontroller is sent to the FPGA using the SPI channel and
then the I2S TDM digital audio is translated to an analog signal using a D/A converter. Finally the
analog signal is played by the Audio Power device.
In case of an external top HiFi is present, the ASD is sent to it from the MPC5668 directly using the
MediaLB interface.
4.31 PCB
Punch Through Hole (PTH) vias technology will be used as starting point. However, due to the High
Density, High Speed signals and fine pitch of some components, a more complex technology like
micro-via and/or Buried vias must be evaluated in detail at start of design, as well as an increasing of
the number of layer up to 10.
Impedance matching is necessary in order to avoid crosstalk and maintain a good signal integrity, so
differential and single ended impedance characteristics will be taken into account carefully. The
target is to maintain the characteristic differential impedance of the LVDS track at 100 Ω and the
single ended for the RF Receiver and Tuners according at 50Ω; other high speed track without special
requirements will be maintained as low as possible (typically less than 80Ω); these goals can be
reached by exploiting both embedded micro-stripe and dual strip-line layout structures.
The Power Board will be designed with a 6 Layers, FR4 type PCB. However, due to the final size of the
PCB Board and complexity, an increasing of the number layer up 8 layers will be considered.
The PCB it is designed with PTH vias and stackup, in a similar manner as the Main Board. Because this
PCB implements power signals, particular attention will be put during design in order to define the
ground plane, power planes and signal track width. If necessary, as for similar design with same
complexity that has to handle the high currents of the audio power, this PCB will use a 1oz. copper
foil for external layer and 2 oz. copper foil for the internal layer, in order to maintain good
performance and reliability.
