- Route +6V or +24V between analog and digital board?
- If +6V: All first-stage converters (LT8648S) must be on one the board with the input TFM connector
- +24V between boards
- For the 0.6V sink:
- On which board does the power connector (TFM) go and which type (TFM-112, TFM-115, etc)? (update Connectors section)
- TFM-113-02-L-DH was used on the ePixHR250M_2x2_Camera
- Analog board
- Use FPGA transceivers for clocking the ASICs?
- Yes
- One per ASIC?
- Yes
- I think one per ASIC is the best solution. Is there any reason why we should go for a clock splitter?
- Probably no unless we run out of connector pins
- Does the digital board need the analog ground (AGND)? (see 100kfps DAQ support system)
- Will have it anyway since the TFM power connector is on the digital board
- What's the expected operating temperature range?
- Are the ASIC digital supply (G_DS_X) and I/O supply (G_IO_X) shared among all four ASICs?
- Can the DC/DC architecture be simplified? Some ICs not in stock, see DC/DC converters
- Replace LMZ31530 (30A) with TPSM5D1806 in parallel mode (12A) since Vcc_int is estimated at 7A?
- No, the 20A version should be available (LMZ31520)
- Provide space to measure both input (manual) and output (ADC) currents for all DC/DC?
- TPSM5D1806 does not work for 6V to 5.5V as a pre-LDO regulator!
- For 5.5V output, the minimum input voltage is 9.6V. See Table 7-3 in datasheet.
- Change first-stage converter to output 5.5V/5.0V instead of 6V?
- Second-stage LMZ31520 (Vout=0.85V) should be OK
- Second-stage TPSM5D1806 (Vout=1.8V and 0.9V) should be OK
- Changed first-stage converter to 5.0V on digital board now
- Remove DC/DC monitor on digital board
- Do we have the CML current consumption numbers?
- Gang is saying around 20mA (15mA + 30% LVT) per ASIC TX Transceiver (for all frequencies). ASIC RX consumption is negligible
- Update power estimation table with these numbers
