BOM

SCHEMATIC

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).

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.
