Claire’s Status Report for 9/20

09/20

Component, headers, and MCU selection complete after confirming compatibility on data sheets. Figured out powering board / supplies needed as well as voltage step-down circuitry. Notes below.

Digital

3.3V VDDIO for high speed IO pins like MODCLK

Lots of switching noise, supply wires and layers must be carefully designed and isolated in a separate supply island on the PCB

-> step down to 1.8V for VDD VDDPLL

Analog

+5V for internal analog circuits 

External Power Supply (for now)

+10V VDDPXH pixel field circuit

-10V VBS biasing pixel field

Progress is on schedule!

Next week: Layout PCB through Altium Designer
