#139971 - Critics and suggestions invited - 1GHz sampler Responding to: ???'s previous message |
This circuit is attempt to store non-repetative
fast signal (thanks , Erik Malund) - with parts , which are available on market and can be soldered with hand. It uses "massive parallelism" (thanks, Jan Waclawek). And this circuit (only sampler) goes far away from "small money"- maybe 400USD. Sampler contains ten (10) miniboards , each with one ADC+FIFO. These boards are attashed to main board with analog front-end ,clock and control logic. Miniboard and some logic is drawn in "http://www.8052.com/users/stefan63/my2d.gif". Clock distribution is shown in "http://www.8052.com/users/stefan63/my1d.gif". Main parts are: ADC - MAX1198-100MHz http://datasheets.maxim-ic.com/en/ds/MAX1198.pdf FIFO - SN74V245 - 6ns cycle. http://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/sn74v245 delay lines - 3D3424-1. http://www.datadelay.com/datasheets/3d3424.pdf This delay line i didnt find in online store. . Maximum clock will be 100MHz. With delay lines at this clock 10 boards will perform 10 samples in 10ns . Before triggering FIFO will be "empty" - writing WCLK and reading RCLK clocks are enabled WEN' and REN'signals will be enabled (write enable WEN',read enable REN'). When triggering occurs- signal REN'will be disabled trough flip-flop D2. FIFO will be filled with data until PAF'goes active (active low - "programmable allmost full flag""). This signal will disable WEN' trough flip-flop D1 (PAF'must be iverted'). Controller will see WEN'is high and can read FIFO - providing low speed read clock trough D3 - multiplexer and REN' trough D2. When all data is read WEN'must to be released to low trough D1 - to start new sampling cicle. REN'must be reset to low too. Clock distribution utilises delay lines with inherent delay about 9ns , delay step abut 1 ns, 16 steps (9..24 ns delay) Any critics and sugestions are welcome. This is not device to be build today or tomorrow, this is something like excercise. regards, Stefan |
