Bertl
morning everyone!
14:29
dmj_nova
morning Bertl
14:29
dmj_nova
should be back this evening
14:29
Bertl
hey, how's going?
14:31
Bertl
here is my proposal for the first CMV12k adapter (in case you're interested): http://vserver.13thfloor.at/Stuff/AXIOM/qad-center-xx.png
14:32
Bertl
(note: I only routed the LVDS lines so far)
14:33
dmj_nova
Are you planning to route more?
14:34
Bertl
well, if that's the way we want to go, yes
14:34
Bertl
it has a bunch of advantages over the current plans
14:35
Bertl
it is statically defined, works on simple 4layer, doesn't need extra power supply or LDO
14:36
Bertl
and it even allows to attach the LensMount once it's available
14:36
dmj_nova
what were the current plans?
14:37

https://github.com/apertus-open-source-cinema/alpha-hardware/tree/master/SFE-PCB
14:38
Bertl
check the 'power-planes01.jpg' it gives an idea
14:38
Bertl
for the sch/pcb you'll need expresspcb
14:39
Bertl
the fmc is on the left, the sensor on the right
14:41
dmj_nova
Ah, so you're thinking two PCBs
14:41
dmj_nova
one behind the other
14:41
Bertl
no, the one I propose is a single 4 layer pcb
14:41
Bertl
(motto: keep it simple)
14:43
Bertl
the FMC is on the other side of the CMV12k socket, which is the thru-hole version
15:36
Bertl
dmj_nova: so, what do you think?
17:42
dmj_nova
Bertl: So basically you're reducing the complexity by using additional layers
17:42
Bertl
hmm, no, it's 4layer, same as planned
17:43
Bertl
it's just optimized in the way how it is connected
17:44
dmj_nova
ah, okay
17:46
Bertl
i.e. you need a lot more 'wire' if you put the CMV12k on the side
17:48
dmj_nova
I see, you're reducing all that by mounting the FMC right behind the sensor
17:49
Bertl
precisely, and by reordering the LVDS pairs so that they perfectly align
17:51
dmj_nova
hmm...will this make cooling an issue?
17:53
Bertl
I don't think so, we can (and should) have a nice ground plane directly below the sensor
18:08
Bertl
btw, I haven't found any indication that cooling would be a problem, but we'll see in the prototype I guess
21:41
dmj_nova
Bertl: Yeah, I don't really know for sure
21:42
Bertl
btw, I just finished my PMOD debug plug, wanna see?
21:42
dmj_nova
Sebastian had commented about the noise floor being worse at higher temperatures
21:42
dmj_nova
sure
