EEM isolator #74

Open gkasprow opened 2 years ago

gkasprow commented 2 years ago

ADI released a high-speed LVDS isolator. There are three members of the family with various IN/OUT configurations. So, if there is an interest in isolating the EEM board from Kasli, there is a potential way to do this. Of course, this adds some extra delay (4ns), but much lower than another Kasli over DRTIO. It's equivalent to 50cm wire.

How would this work? Existing VHDCI_Carrier in the Kasli crate and then this new EEM in the satellite crate (where the new EEM would have a VHDCI front panel connector, 12V power barrels, and 4 downstream EEM connectors). Or something else?

An adapter that you plug between Kasli and the EEM board. It could also be integrated as a DIOT (CPCIS) to EEM adapter.
