Note: The FPA-4.A/TXA V1 comes in two variants, V1B and V1C. The V1C redesign mounts to the NVIDIA® AGX Orin™ natively. The V1B requires removing a plastic cover on the NVIDIA® AGX Orin™. For more information, see 10.1.6 Technical Drawing, page 63.

Table: Image Sensor Connectors on FPA-4.A/TXA-V1

All ports provide the same pinout. The pin assignment is according to the corresponding FSA.

Further notes for signals on FSA connectors J5, J6, J7, J8:

CAM0_MCLK and CAM1_MCLK are routed through four bus transceivers for better integrity of the signal

CAM0_PWDN and CAM0_RST signals are routed in parallel to all connectors

I2C_GP3_CLK and I2C_GP3_DATA are routed parallel to EEPROM and I2C multiplexer (8 channels)

EEPROM functionality is primarily used to utilize functionality of L4T Plugin manager (deprecated with JetPack 4.6+ drivers) and offers additional user space for configuration etc.

Each FSA connector is connected to two multiplexer channels:

  • MUX-ch0/ch1 are connected to J5

  • MUX-ch2/ch3 are connected to J6

  • MUX-ch4/ch5 are connected to J7

  • MUX-ch6/ch7 are connected to J8

Caution: Direct connection of FSM to FPA (without FSA) or wrong cable orientation will lead to permanent damage of FSM, Adapters or the Processor Board. Using flex cable (FMA-FC-150/60-v1) between FSA and FPA is mandatory.

SW1, SW2: Configuration Switches#

DIP switches SW1 and SW2 are mainly for interconnecting FSA’s triggering signals (XVS, XHS and XTRIG).

DIP switch SW1 is designated to interconnect XVS/XHS pins while DIP switch SW2 is designated to interconnect XTRIG pins and aggregate CAM2_MCLK04(MCLK2) and GPIO25_VDD_SYS_EN(SYS_PW_EN) from FPA in parallel to all FSA connectors.

SW3: Configuration Switches#

DIP switch SW3 is designated to enable/disable FPA EEPROM and it’s write protection.

image15

Table: Configuration of SW3 on FPA-4.A/TXA-V1

Default state of DIP switches:

  • SW1 – all positions OFF (XVS/XHS pins are NOT interconnected)

  • SW2 – all positions OFF (XTRIG pins are NOT interconnected, MCLK2 and SYS_PW_EN are NOT aggregate)

  • SW3 – positions-1 ON, position-2 OFF (EEPROM is ENABLED without write protection)

Figure: Technical Drawing of FPA-4.A/TXA-V1

Note: The FPA-4.A/TXA-V1 comes in two variants, V1B and V1C. Mechanical dimensions may alter slightly. The V1C is redesigned to accommodate mounting to the NVIDIA® AGX Orin™ whereas the V1B, pictured above, requires removing a plastic cover on the NVIDIA® AGX Orin™ to mount.
