  • (RIKEN) we have tested operating the DDS with 16 full channels. We found out that there was a problem with power distribution. The current drawn by the board was large enough to create substantial voltage drop in the power line that runs underneath the PCI sockets. A hot-fix that Yamaguchi-san (RIKEN's researcher) did was to route the power line directly underneath each PCI connector.

Next breakout board should have wider trace for power delivery.

  • Also it might be better to ground the digital and analog power supply right on the breakout board.

  • BNC connection for AUX CLK IN is actually connected to the SYS_CLK_4 output of the PLL of the XEM6010 module. Need to correctly route this to the CLK_IN of the FPGA board in the later version.

  • Fixed in the latest breakout board.
