  1. Pulsar Design Mircea Bogdan Level 2 Pulsar - Production Readiness Review Friday, Nov.7, 2003

  2. Level 2 Pulsar – Hardware Requirements • Double width, 9U VME board inside L2 crate; • All the data interfaces that L2 decision crate has; • Data source for all trigger inputs; • Can record, reformat and retransmit data from upstream. • Can use S-LINK Mezzanine Cards for communication to remote PC.

  3. Level 2 Pulsar - Design Issues Parts:Factors considered: Price, existence of simulation models, functionality; - FPGA for VME: EPM7128SOC160-7 - reuse from CDF Projects - $37. - FPGAs for Data I/O and Control: EP20K400BC652-1XV - $1,000. uses +3.3V for I/O, +5V tolerant, hand assigned pins, - FIFO 4Kx18 : CY7C4245-10ASC – reuse from SVT Projects - $8.40; - SRAM 128Kx36: CY7C1350-100AC - $40.45. POWER: -we estimated +5V/13A; - uses (+5V): 2.7A with no MC, 3.7A with 1 MC and ~7A with 4 MC; - generates: +2.5V/3A Max with LM1085IT-Adj.; - generates: +3.3V/15A Max with DATEL UNR-3.3/20 DC/DC; Configuration Options: - each FPGA has it’s own JTAG Chain with 3xEPC2LC20 and 10pin connector inside board; - one big chain with all 3xFPGAs and 9xEPC2s and 10 pin front panel connector.

  4. Level 2 Pulsar – Mezzanine Cards • The board accepts 4 Mezzanine Cards, 2 for each Data I/O chip. • Each Mezzanine Card connected with Data(45:0) Bus and Ctrl(32:0) Bus that go directly to the FPGA; • Connections are bi-directional for flexibility; • CARD_ID(3:0) for identity check at power-up; prevents signal contention by keeping the I/Os in High Z; • Each MC is provided with +5V, +3.3V and +2.5V; • Design compatible with the Common Mezzanine Card Family Standard (CMC); • Two 64-pin surface-mount CMC connectors; Mezzanine Cards: - Hotlink I/O 4xCypressRx/Tx or 2xRx/Tx + lvds - tested; - Taxi I/O 4xAMD AM7968/9-175JC TAXI chips –tested; - ODIN S-LINK interface – commercially available 32-bit data with/40MHzCLK/160MBytes/s max transfer rate;

  5. Level 2 Pulsar – Aux Card • 9U VME Aux Card • P3 connections:2x S-Link I/O[45:0] + 1x Spare Bus[24:0] • FP connections: - 2x52 pin SVT/XTRP I/O Connectors; • - 2x68 pin TS I/O Connectors; • - 2x S-Link Card Connectors. • Power options: • 5V Aux card ~2A max (0.9A with 1 SLINK) • 3.3V Aux card ~2A(5V) max(0.7A with 1 SLINK) • The card generates +3.3V from +5V, using UNR-3.3/15-D5.

  6. Level 2 Pulsar - Board Specifications

  7. Level 2 Pulsar - Trace Analysis We performed signal integrity test on some 80 nets on the board using the Interconnect Synthesis Tool by Mentor Graphics. Most of the IBIS (I/O Buffer Information Specification) models are vendor supplied. For the FPGAs we used QuartusII generated IBIS models. With no termination With 33Ohm Series Termination on the Source.

  8. Level 2 Pulsar – Multi Board signal integrity We performed signal integrity tests for some nets on the Pulsar Board together withHotLink Rx and Tx mezzanine cards using the IS_Multi Board  tool by Mentor Graphics. For the 1mm FH Mezzanine (IEEE 1386), BTB, Surface Mount connectorswe used vendor supplied Lumped Constant Model.

  9. Level 2 Pulsar – Crosstalk For this board's stackup and considering 1ns rising edge, we have -21.02 dB calculated cross talk coefficient on micro strip tracesrunning 10 mils apart for 4 inches and -18.81 dB on stripline traces. We performed cross talk tests for some nets on the board,using the Interconnect Synthesis tool by Mentor Graphics.

  10. Level 2 Pulsar - Functional Simulation • Multi-board simulation: • -instantiate Pulsar along with MCs in a top level schematic with DA; • -run QSII with all the boards working together: 4xTx HotLink + 4xRx HotLink + Pulsar.

  12. Level 2 Pulsar - Layout Award

  13. Level 2 Pulsar – Status –Nov.7, 2003 • We tested the two “First Item” boards from Promex; • Will make 8 more boards in this production batch; For new production batches with more that 20 boards we estimate: $150/board – Assembly; $1,300/board – Parts(No Altera) + PCB; $3,250/board – Altera parts. --------------------- ~$4,700/board - Total • All the required documents are on the web: http://fozzie.uchicago.edu/~bogdan/pulsar/index.html
