LimeSDR Micro M.2 2280 Board Architecture

More detailed description of LimeSDR Micro M.2 2280 board components and interconnections is given in the following sections of this chapter.

LMS7002M RF transceiver digital connectivity

The interface and control signals are described below:

  • Baseband Signals: LMS7002 is using baseband signals (I and Q) to transfer data to/from the NXP Baseband processor:

    • TX signals LMS_TX1_BB_I/Q_P/N where I/Q indicates in-phase and quadrature signals and P/N indicates differential positive and negative pairs.

    • RX signals LMS_RX1/2_BB_I/Q_P/N where RX1/2 indicates RF channel 1 or 2, I/Q indicates I and Q signals and P/N indicates differential positive and negative pairs.

  • LMS Control Signals: these signals are used for the following functions within the LMS7002 RFIC:

    • LMS_RXEN, LMS_TXEN – receiver and transmitter enable/disable signals connected to FPGA Bank 14 (3.3V).

    • LMS_RESET – LMS7002M reset is connected to FPGA Bank 14 (3.3V).

  • SPI Interface: LMS7002M transceiver is configured via 4-wire SPI interface: LA_SPI_SCLK, LA_SPI_MOSI, LA_SPI_MISO, LA_SPI_LMS_SS. The SPI interface is connected to BB processor via level converter IC8.

  • LMS I2C Interface: can be used for LMS EEPROM content modification or debug purposes. The signals LMS_I2C_SCL and LMS_I2C_DATA are connected to EEPROM. They can be also connected to BB processors LA_I2C_SCL and LA_I2C_SDA.

All signals connected to LMS7002 are listed in table 2.
