|
| 11:06 | Bertl | morning folks!
|
| 11:50 | Dest123 | left the channel |
| 12:22 | vup | Bertl: well we want to test up to which frequencies we can reliably use a connector
|
| 12:31 | Bertl | thought so, but what's the plan here?
|
| 12:32 | Bertl | some kind of loopback module?
|
| 12:32 | Bertl | or a test board which uses the connector in question or something completely different?
|
| 13:46 | vup | Bertl: well we are starting with the 100mil headers that are already present on the current micro, using a wire bridge to loopback one pin to another
|
| 13:54 | Bertl | wire bridge?
|
| 13:54 | Bertl | you mean a cable?
|
| 13:59 | vup | yeah
|
| 13:59 | Bertl | it will be tricky to match the 50/100Ohm there
|
| 14:00 | vup | well the connector itself also doesn't match 50/100Ohm, so keeping the cable short shouldn't make it much worse i would think
|
| 14:00 | Bertl | really depends on the impedance changes
|
| 14:01 | vup | yeah, this isn't really meant as a decisive test for it not working
|
| 14:02 | vup | but if it works with that setup, it should definitely work with a more proper setup
|
| 14:02 | Bertl | hard to tell, could work by accident as well
|
| 14:02 | vup | how so?
|
| 14:02 | Bertl | what exactly is the goal of the test?
|
| 14:03 | vup | well mainly figuring out if we can just use 100mil headers for the sensor connection
|
| 14:04 | Bertl | okay, so the connection goes 'main PCB' - 100mil header - 'sensor PCB'
|
| 14:04 | vup | yes
|
| 14:04 | Bertl | and the data transfer is typically in the other direction, yes?
|
| 14:04 | vup | for most sensor I would imagine so
|
| 14:05 | vup | the cmv12k has a high speed clock input, right?
|
| 14:05 | Bertl | okay, so the best setup would be to create a dummy senor PCB which consists of a properly routed 'loop' from I/Os of one side of the connector to the other
|
| 14:05 | Bertl | e.g. if you have 8 LVDS pairs for sensor connection
|
| 14:06 | Bertl | create loops between the outer most down to the innermost
|
| 14:06 | Bertl | all properly routed on the dummy sensor board
|
| 14:07 | Bertl | this way you know when the loopback test works at a given frequency, the sensor will be fine and in safe range
|
| 14:07 | Bertl | (because you traverse the connector twice for every loop)
|
| 14:07 | vup | yes that sounds like a good setup
|
| 14:08 | vup | the hope was we can forgo the need of the dummy sensor board if it works with the current setup
|
| 14:08 | Bertl | well, you can test that as well, but I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from that
|
| 14:10 | Bertl | capacitance and inductance might just cancel each outher out at the freqeuncy you test with
|
| 14:10 | vup | hmm yeah maybe
|
| 14:11 | vup | I was planning on doing a frequency sweep anyways (roughly 250MHz DDR -> 500MHz DDR)
|
| 14:11 | Bertl | okay, that will definitely get better results
|
| 14:13 | vup | using that I think we should be able to rule out most accidents
|
| 14:13 | Bertl | could work
|
| 14:13 | vup | but i guess we will just have to see how the results look like and then decide if we want to test it with a dummy sensor board or not
|
| 14:13 | Bertl | definitely let me know how it goes :)
|
| 14:13 | vup | yes, will do
