Considerations for integrating the ICE Platform stack in an OEM situation are detailed in the remainder of this document. Important key points include deciding on the type and quantity of daughter modules to use and how that relates to the overall power budget for both the power supply and the maximum currents that can be routed through the power bus. The mechanics of mounting the circuit boards and designing a thermal management system must also be designed. Connections for communication and I/O from the circuit boards to the integrator' | Considerations for integrating the ICE Platform stack in an OEM situation are detailed in the remainder of this document.

Each PCB exposes up to 4 copper tabs to conduct heat out from power dissipating components to an external heat sink. The copper tabs are not electrically isolated, so electrical isolation is **required** at the interface between the heatsink and copper tab. Failure to isolate these tabs will result in malfunction of the ICE module.

+ | For all ICE daughter modules, the circuit boards are designed such that all I/O connectors will be on a single side, and the copper heatsinking tabs will be on the opposite side. The master controller (ICE-MC1) also follows this convention, with the exception being the serial port flat flex connector. | ||

+ | Generally, the minimum bend radius for flat flex jumper cables is 2mm. The length of the stiffener behind the exposed contacts on the cable will determine how far out from the FFC pcb connector the first bend of the flat flex cable can occur. The clearance for this bend must be accounted for when designing an enclosure for the ICE boards. For example, with Molex brand flat flex cables, there needs to be a minimum 0.25 inch clearance from the front of the flat flex pcb connector to allow the cable to bend. Verify against the data sheet of the chosen flat flex jumper cable. | ||
