2 General description
The FMC230 is a two channel DAC FMC daughter card. The card provides two 14-bit up to
5.7 GSPS DAC channels which can be clocked by an internal clock source (optionally locked
to an external reference) or an externally supplied sample clock. There is one trigger input for
customized sampling control. The FMC daughter card is mechanically and electrically
compliant to FMC standard (ANSI/VITA 57.1). The FMC has a high-pin count connector, front
panel I/O, and can be used in a conduction-cooled environment.
The design is based on Analog Devices AD9129 single-channel 14-bit 5.7 GSPS DAC with
DDR LVDS inputs. The analog output signals are AC-coupled and connect to MMCX coax
connectors on the front panel.
The FMC allows flexible control of sampling frequency through serial communication busses.
Furthermore, the card is equipped with power supply and temperature monitoring, and it offers
several power-down modes to switch off unused functions or protect the card from
overheating.

3 Installation
3.1 Requirements and handling instructions
Prevent electrostatic discharges by observing ESD precautions when handling the card.
Do not flex the card.
The FMC daughter card must be installed on a carrier card compliant to the FMC standard.
The FMC carrier card must support the high-pin count connector (400-pins) to support all
channels. A low-pin count connector is supported but may result in limited features.
The FMC carrier card may support a VADJ/VIO_B voltage of +1.2V to +3.3V.
The FMC700 is required in order to use the FMC230 on KC705.

4 Design
4.1 Physical specifications
4.1.1 Board Dimensions
The FMC card complies with the FMC standard known as ANSI/VITA 57.1. The card is a
single-width, conduction-cooled mezzanine module (with region 1 and front panel I/O). There
may be a mechanical conflict with the front rib on a carrier card. The stacking height is 10mm,
and the PCB thickness is 1.6mm.
4.1.2 Front panel
There are six MMCX connectors available from the front panel. From top to bottom:
- Analog outputs B (D1) and A (D0)
- Trigger in (TR)
- Clock Input (CI)
- Reference Input (RI)
- Clock Output (CO)

Figure 2: Front panel layout
4.2 Electrical specifications
The DAC devices use DDR LVDS signals mapped to the regular FMC pins. Each channel has
two 14-bit wide DDR LVDS busses.
Control signals operate in LVCMOS mode. A VADJ range of 1.2V to 3.3V is supported. The
voltage on VIO_B pins will follow the voltage on VADJ.
The CLKx pins are required to be LVDS by the FMC standard. CLK2 and CLK3 are not used
for best compatibility with Xilinx development platforms. CLK0 is connected to a spare clock
output of the clock tree. CLK1 is connected to the external trigger.
4.2.1 EEPROM
The FMC card has a small serial EEPROM (M24C02) which is accessible from the carrier card
through the I2C bus. The EEPROM is powered by 3P3VAUX. The standby current is only
0.01µA when SCL and SDA are kept at 3P3VAUX level. These signals may also be left
floating since pull-up resistors are present on the FMC. The EEPROM is write-protected by
default.

4.4 Analog output channels
The DAC output circuit is constructed such that different build options are available. The
default configuration is a wideband balun ETC1-1-13 (MACOM; 4.5 to 3000MHz) as shown in
Figure 4. This configuration is the recommended output circuit for mixed-mode operation of the
DAC, for details refer to the AD9129 datasheet.. Please contact 4DSP for custom
configurations.
4.4.1 Analog output phase
While not intuitively obvious from the representative schematic below, the analog output
voltage tracks the data written to the DAC. The analog output signal at its maximum when the
DAC is set to full scale.
As shown in the schematic, the analog output connector X8 is directly connected to the DACs
IOUTN (labeled DAC1_IN) signal thru the balun T4, this results in the output voltage tracking
the voltage on the IOUTN pin.
From the perspective of the output connector and IOUTN, the analog output is formed by a
voltage divider consisting of the high side pulled up to +1.8V by R89 and L13, and the low side
pulled down to -1.5V by the DACs programmable current source.
When 0x0000 is written to the DAC, IOUTN will be sourcing its maximum current thru the
pullups resulting in a negative output voltage.
When the full scale value is written to the DAC, the current thru IOUTN and the pullups will be
at its minimum resulting in the maximum positive voltage on the output.
The complementary output signal IOUTP performs in a similar manner except that it is 180
degrees out of phase with the value written to the DAC, The IOUTP and IOUTN signals are
combined by the transformer action of the balun T4.
Figure 4: Wideband balun output option
4.5 External trigger input
An external trigger is available on the front panel (MMCX connector). The trigger signal
connects to a buffer (NB6N11S) before being sent to the carrier card. The buffer translates the
external LVTTL signal to LVDS and connects to the FMC connector. The trigger input is
terminated to ground with 4.7kΩ.
4.6 External clock input
There is one MMCX clock input on the front panel that can serve as sampling clock input.
Refer also to section 4.9 for more information about the clock tree.

UM023 FMC230 User Manual r1.11
UM023 www.4dsp.com - 10 -
Note: When internal clock is enabled and there is no need for an external reference, it is
highly recommended to leave the clock input unconnected to prevent interference with
the internal clock.
4.7 External reference input
There is one MMCX reference input on the front panel that can serve as reference clock input.
Refer also to section 4.9 for more information about the clock tree.
Note: When internal clock is enabled and there is no need for an external reference, it is
highly recommended to terminate the reference input with 50Ωto ground, to prevent
interference with the internal clock.
The external reference input connects to the single ended, high-impedance, REF2 input of the
AD9517 clock generator. The input is DC-coupled to support reference frequencies below
20MHz. The AD9517 has got an internal self-bias voltage of 1.5V. The single ended input
characteristics of the clock generator specify VIL < 0.8V and VIH > 2.0V.
If the external reference source is DC-coupled, make sure that the VIL < 0.8V and VIH > 2.0V
levels are met. If the external reference source is AC-coupled, the clock generator uses its
self-bias to pull its reference input to the offset level of 1.5V. The required AC voltage swing
ranges from 1.4Vpk-pk to 2.2Vpk-pk.
4.8 External clock output
There is one MMCX clock input on the front panel that can serve as sampling/reference clock
output. Refer also to section 4.9 for more information about the clock tree.
4.9 Clock tree
The FMC offers a clock architecture that combines flexibility and high performance.
Components have been chosen to minimize jitter and phase noise and reduce degradation of
the data conversion performance. The user may choose to use an external sampling clock or
an internal sampling clock.
The clock tree has a PLL and clock distribution section. The PLL ensures locking of the
internal VCO clock to an external supplied reference. There is an onboard reference which is
used if no external reference is present. The onboard reference is a QuartzCom TX3-801
30.72MHz.

Figure 5: Clock tree
The AD9517 has four LVPECL outputs. OUT2 and OUT3 are used for clocking the DAC
devices. The other four clock outputs can be programmed either as LVDS or LVCMOS33.
These outputs have the ability to enable a programmable delay. OUT4 is connected to the
FMC connector for test and monitoring purposes. OUT5 connects to the gigabit transceiver
reference clock on the FMC connector (as a build option it can be connected to OUT7). OUT6
connects to the clock output on a MMCX connector.
4.9.1 PLL design
The PLL functionality of the AD9517 is used to operate from an internal sampling clock to
enable flexibility in frequency selection while maintaining high performance.
The default loop filter is designed for a phase detector frequency of 7.68MHz (fref/4), loop
bandwidth of 10KHz, phase margin of 45 deg, and a charge pump of 4.8mA.
Lower phase detector frequencies might be required to achieve the required output clock
frequency (phase detector frequency equals the VCO tuning step size). Whether the loop filter
design still works for other configurations should be investigated case by case.

Table 4: FMC standard power specification
The power provided by the carrier card can be very noisy. Special care is taken with the power
supply generation on the FMC card to minimize the effect of power supply noise on clock
generation and data conversion.
Clean +1.8V is derived from +3.3V with linear regulators. Clean +3.3V is derived from +12V in
two steps for maximum efficiency. The first step uses a highly efficient switched regulator to
generate a +3.8V power rail. From this power rail each analog supply is derived with separate
low dropout, low noise, and linear regulators.
The regulators have sufficient copper area to dissipate the heat in combination with proper
airflow (see section 6.3 Cooling).

5 Controlling the FMC230
5.1 Architecture
The data interface of one DAC channel occupies 31 differential pairs on the FMC connector.
Since one DAC channel is available on the LPC connections, there are only six signals left on
the LPC connections to control the board. Therefore, the FMC will be controlled from a single
SPI interface connecting to an onboard CPLD (Xilinx Coolrunner-II XC2C64A-QFG). Four
connections are available between the FMC connector and the CPLD. The CPLD acts as a
SPI distribution device and level translator and comes factory programmed. The two remaining
signals on the FMC connector are reserved.

The FMC is controlled from the carrier hardware through a single SPI communication bus. The
SPI communication bus is connected to a CPLD which has the following tasks:
Distribute SPI access from the carrier hardware along the local devices:
- 2x AD9129 (D/A converters)
- 1x AD9517 (Clock Tree)
Enable/disable internal reference based on a SPI command from the carrier hardware

5.2 SPI Programming
The SPI programmable devices on the FMC can be accessed as described in their datasheet,
but each SPI communication cycle needs to be preceded with a pre-selection byte. The pre-
selection byte is used by the CPLD to forward the SPI command to the right destination. The
pre-selection bytes are defined as follows:
- CPLD 0x00
- AD9129 #1 0x82
- AD9129 #2 0x83
- AD9517 0x84
The CLPD has three internal registers which are described in the Appendix. The registers of
the other devices are transparently mapped.

6.1 Temperature
Operating temperature
-40°C to +85°C (Industrial)
Storage temperature:
-40°C to +120°C
6.2 Monitoring
The FMC holds an AD7291 device for monitoring several power supply voltages on the board
as well as the temperature. The device can be programmed and read out through the I2C bus.
Continuously operating the I2C bus might interfere with the conversion process and result in
signal distortion. It is recommended to program the minimum and maximum limits in the
monitoring devices and only read from the devices when the interrupt line is asserted. It is
recommended that the carrier card and/or host software uses the power-down features in the
case the temperature is too high.

6.3 Cooling
Two different types of cooling are available for the FMC.
6.3.1 Convection cooling
The air flow provided by the fans of the chassis the FMC is enclosed in will dissipate the heat
generated by the on board components. A minimum airflow of 300 LFM is recommended.
For standalone operations (such as on a Xilinx development kit), it is highly recommended to
blow air across the FMC and ensure that the temperature of the devices is within the allowed
range. 4DSP’s warranty does not cover boards on which the maximum allowed temperature
has been exceeded.
6.3.2 Conduction cooling
In demanding environments, the ambient temperature inside a chassis could be close to the
operating temperature defined in this document. It is very likely that in these conditions the
junction temperature of power consuming devices will exceed the operating conditions
recommended by the device manufacturers (mostly +85°C). While a low profile heat sink
coupled with sufficient air flow might be sufficient to maintain the temperature within operating
boundaries, some active cooling would yield better results and would certainly help with
resuming operations much faster in the case the devices were disabled because of a
temperature “over range”.
7 Safety
This module presents no hazard to the user.
8 EMC
This module is designed to operate within an enclosed host system built to provide EMC
shielding. Operation within the EU EMC guidelines is not guaranteed unless it is installed
within an adequate host system. This module is protected from damage by fast voltage
transients originating from outside the host system which may be introduced through the
system.
