Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4/5 on board WiFi and Bluetooth disable signals may be controlled from header J6 (not fitted) as shown in Table 5.

Table 5 Raspberry Pi CM4/5 J6 WiFi and Bluetooth control header pinout

Pin	Schematic signal name	Description [1]
1	RPI_WL_nDISABLE	This pin serves a number of functions: It can be used to monitor the enable/disable state of wireless networking. A logic high means the wireless networking module is powered up. When driven or tied low it prevents the wireless network module from powering up. This is useful to reduce power consumption or in applications where it is required to physically ensure the wireless networking is disabled. If the interface is enabled after being disabled, the wireless interface driver needs reinitialised.
2	GND	Ground (0V)
3	RPI_BT_nDISABLE	This pin serves a number of functions: It can be used to monitor the enable/disable state of Bluetooth. A logic high means the Bluetooth module is powered up. When driven, or tied low, it prevents the Bluetooth module from powering up. This is useful to reduce power consumption, or in applications where it is required to physically ensure the Bluetooth is disabled. If the interface is enabled after being disabled, the Bluetooth interface driver needs reinitialised.

RF Front End

LimePSB-RPCM RF path features power amplifiers, low noise amplifiers and SPDT switches as shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6 LimePSB-RPCM v1.2 RFFE diagram

A single control signal (RF_SW_TDD) is used to control all RF switches simultaneously for both A and B channels to change between TDD and FDD modes as shown in Table 8.

Table 8 RF path truth table

Control signal (RF_SW_TDD)	TRXA/B connected to	RXA/B connected to
Low	TXA/B_IN	RXA/B_OUT
High	RXA/B_OUT	NC

By default RF switches may be controlled from mPCIe expansion board pin 17 (via resistor R39). Optional control source may be RFFE TDD control header (J19) or CM4/5 GPIO6 (resistor R40 must be soldered).

RF path contains two types of connectors: board edge SMA connectors (J42, J43, J46, J47) used for external connections (antennas or cables) and U.FL connectors (J40, J41, J44, J45) used for internal connections (for example to connect to XTRX mini PCIe expansion board).

Signal frequency range of TX and RX paths are listed in Table 9.

Table 9 RF path signal frequency range

Direction	Frequency range
TX	100 MHz - 6 GHz
RX	100 MHz - 4 GHz

LimePSB-RPCM RF front end uses same design as Front End Adapter, except PA part was changed. For more information about the design look into XTRX documentation [3].

USB Subsystem

LimePSB-RPCM contains USB2.0 hub, over current protection, type-C, double type-A sockets and headers. USB sockets and header has independent current limit power switches. The USB subsystem diagram is as shown in Figure 7.

Figure 7 LimePSB-RPCM v1.2 USB subsystem diagram

Main LimePSB-RPCM board USB subsystem components:

• USB type-C socket (J25) is primarily used as LimePSB-RPCM one of power supply sources (for more information check section 2.15 Power Distribution). To enable RPi USB boot mount nRPIBOOT jumper on J12 pins 1-2 and mount a jumper on header J26 to switch Raspberry Pi USB from USB hub to USB C (more information check section 2.2 Raspberry Pi CM4/5 Configuration).

• USB type-A dual sockets (J29) may be used to connect USB peripherals to the Raspberry Pi CM4/5.(USB 3.0 with CM5)

• USB2.0 hub USB2517 (IC20) USB 2.0 hub expands Raspberry Pi CM4/5 USB port to dual USB socket (J29), header (J31) and mPCIe (J3). For more information check Table 11.

• Current limit power switches for USB dual socket and header.

Board Temperature Control

LimePSB-RPCM board has two dedicated 0.1” pitch headers J23 and J24 for fans. Header J23 is standard 4-pin fan header while J24 is 2-pin header. Fan control voltage is VCC_IN (12V) by default, but it may be changed to 3.3V or 5V by resistors. Fan power may be controlled from shift register (IC17) output Q7 (FAN_CTRL), directly from temperature sensor IC9 pin 3 (LM75_OS) or by FAN controller (IC12) (default). 4 pin FAN connector (J23) is compatible with 3 pin fans. PWM signal from FAN controller (IC12) can be used to control fan speed by switching MOSFET (VT2) if R88 is fitted (default). If 4 pin fan is used remove R88 and fit R73 to route PWM signal to the connectors 4th pin also fit R82.

Clock Distribution Network

LimePSB-RPCM board clock network comprises of on-board voltage controlled crystal oscillators, phase detector, clock buffer, reference clock input and output connectors and clock source selection pin headers. Board clock distribution block diagram is as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9. LimePSB-RPCM v1.2 board clock distribution block diagram

LimePSB-RPCM board distributes reference clock to and from Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4/5, mini PCIe connector and external sources. It is possible to connect external reference clock and PPS signals to and from another boards or systems via J32 (EXT_SYNC_IN) and J35 (EXT_SYNC_OUT) connectors thus synchronizing multiple systems. Clock path may be configured using jumpers and resistors as described in Table 19.

Power Distribution

LimePSB-RPCM board power delivery network consists of different power rails with different regulators, voltages and filters. LimePSB-RPCM board power distribution block diagram is presented in Figure 10.

Figure 10 LimePSB-RPCM v1.2 board power distribution block diagram

LimePSB-RPCM board may be supplied from USB Type-C port (USB Power delivery), Ethernet RJ45 port (PoE) or barrel DC connector (9-14V):

• USB Type-C socket (9-12V 2.5 A or 1.5 A) may be used to supply LimePSB-RPCM board. In this case make sure that USB Power Delivery 18W or more power adapter is used. Depending on application board requested current from source may be lowered from 2.5A to 1.5A by changing SW1 bit 3 to ON position.

• RJ45 socket is an alternative way to supply the LimePSB-RPCM board. Make sure PoE+ (802.3at) class 4 compliant power source is used.

• Barrel connector (9-14V 2A) also may be used to power LimePSB-RPCM board.

To keep RTC running when board power is disconnected lithium coin cell 3V CR1220 battery must be inserted into BATT1 battery holder.
