About the ConnectCore 6 Plus Features and functionality

ConnectCore 6 Plus Hardware Reference Manual

Note To serve our customers most effectively, Digi International Inc. is consolidating its cloud

services, Digi Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager®, under the Remote Manager name. This

phased process does not affect device functionality or the functionality of the web services and

other features. However, you will find instances of both Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager in

some documentation, firmware, and user interfaces.

Safety instructions

nThe ConnectCore 6 Plus module cannot be guaranteed operation due to the radio link and

so should not be used for interlocks in safety critical devices such as machines or

automotive applications.

nThe ConnectCore 6 Plus module has not been approved for use in (this list is not

exhaustive):

lnuclear applications

lexplosive or flammable atmospheres

nThere are no user serviceable components inside the ConnectCore 6 Plus module. Do not

remove the shield or modify the ConnectCore 6 Plus in any way. Modifications may exclude

the module from any warranty and can cause the ConnectCore 6 Plus to operate outside of

regulatory compliance for a given country, leading to the possible illegal operation of the

radio.

nUse industry standard ESD protection when handling the ConnectCore 6 Plus module.

nTake care while handling to avoid electrical damage to the PCB and components.

nDo not expose ConnectCore 6 Plus modules to water or moisture.

nUse this product with the antennas specified in the ConnectCore 6 Plus module user guides.

About the ConnectCore 6 Plus Block diagram

ConnectCore 6 Plus Hardware Reference Manual

nThe end user must be told how to remove power from the ConnectCore 6 Plus module or to

locate the antennas 20 cm from humans or animals.

Power supply architecture

The ConnectCore 6 Plus provides a primary 5 V power supply input. This supply is the main power

domain to the on-module Dialog DA9063 power management IC (PMIC), which generates all

required supply voltages for the module components as well as the carrier board.

The module provides support for a backup battery (coin-cell or super cap) powering the real-time

clock (RTC) on the module. In addition, rechargeable backup batteries (ML414, others) are also

supported.

The PMIC generates the following power domains that are available on the module pads:

nOne PMIC switching regulator:

lVGEN_3V3

nFive PMIC LDO:

lVLDO2

lVLDO3_MCA
