Love it. Thank you so much. I will go through the correction list.
It appears the the analog frequency control input to the MAC-SA5x oscillator is connected to a digital I/O pin in the FPGA. Is this intended?
In 'Timingcard_SCHEMATICS_BETA_V1.pdf", p. 6,A3 and p. 7,B4, the MAC_FREQ_CTRL net connects the MAC-SA5x INPUT FREQUENCY CONTROL pin (#1) to the FPGA board CON2-B33.
According to the AC7100B FPGA board schematic ("AC7100B_SDM.pdf"), CON2-B33 is routed to Xilinx pin AA10, which is listed in the XC7A100T pinout ("ug475_7Series_Pkg_Pinout.pdf") as a DQS (multifunction) pin.
I assume that analog frequency control is not enabled in the MAC-SA5x. Whatever, the wiring probably needs an update.
@wisxxx, this is correct. The analog tuning feature is not used and all tuning is performed through the digital interface.
On the FPGA this pin is not used either, it's a placeholder is for alternative versions should they arise in R&D.
Issues addressed in subsequent documents.
BOM
item 41 (DS3231 RTC) shows "U5" as ref des. schematic shows "U3A"
item 40 (1x3 header) does not have corresponding jumpers
item 29 (IC REG BUCK ADJUSTABLE 2A 8SOIC). Data sheet says this part is not recommended for new designs (add 210817)
no BOM item for CSAC and SA.3x/SA.5x
no BOM item for U11 (sch. p.6,A2; assume SiT5721)
no BOM item for U13 (sch. p.6,B4; assume SiT5356)
no BOM item for U4 (sch. p.5,C5; BMP388. Note: this part is not recommended for new designs)
no BOM item for U7 (sch. p.5,D5; AT24MAC402-STUM-T)
SCHEMATIC
p. 6,C2
MAC devices SA.3x and SA.5x are labeled "RV-3049-C3"
Need notation: "Install one of CSAC, SA.3x, or SA.5x".
Assuming connector U10B would interfere with installation of the CSAC or SA.3x oscillators, need notation: "Install U10B (connector) only if using SA.5x oscillator."
The nets MAC_10Mout, MAC_10Mout, MAC_RF_OUT, and MAC_FREQ_CTL are all shorted, as are MAC_PPSout and MAC_PPS_OUT+, and MAC_PPSin and MAC_PPSIN0+. This is probably related to the oscillator stuffing options as well.
The output dotting should only be on p. 6 where the oscillators are drawn and not on p. 7 at the connector. There should be a note clarifying the operation under the alternative stuffing options (including R17, the zero ohm resistor to GPS_TP1).
