How to enable the PG_C2M (power good to mezzanine) signal on the AUBOARD 15P?

alainsan
alainsan 7 months ago

My assembly is the AUBOARD 15P + Analog Devices AD-FMCOMMS4 RF board plugged in via the FMC connector.
An essential signal on the AUBOARD 15P is the PG_C2M  (power good to mezzanine) to enable the power on the RF board.
I could not find any documentation as to how to enable this signal (any jumper, resistor/??)

More generally, the AUBOARD 15P schematics would be extremely helpful.

The D29 LED is off (meaning PG_C2M is 0).

Any help will be greatly appreciated

    You have a couple of options here. The PG_C2M circuit looks like the following:

    You could use R226 pullup to drive PG_C2M and populate it with something under 1K-ohms. This would pullup PG_C2M when the 3V3_UTIL (which is used to create +FMC_12V). This would get you passed your issue.

    image

    A more accurate PG_C2M would be created by using POWER_GOOD on the board which is driven after +VCCO_66_86. The POWER GOOD signal is on 0-ohm RES R590 which is on the back of the board.

    The problem here is that the POWER_GOOD R590 resistor is across the board with respect to PG_C2M signal.

    Hi iksevas,

    Thank you for the schematic snippet. I see that I can install a 100k pull-up on R226 and generate the PG_C2M signal that my FMC card needs.

    Is the PG_C2M signal connected to an FPGA pin, and can it be driven? That would allow the FET to light the LED as an indicator without soldering...

    The FMC spec requires this signal to come from the carrier card (AU15P) to the FMC connector, so as currently implemented with Q9, it needs to be driven by something...

    Thanks for your help!

    Unfortunately there is not a routed control to a GPIO pin here. I did send a note to the manufacturing team to update the BOM to place the DNP pull-up on PG_C2M for revision2 boards that are due out in June.

    In the FMC spec this is supposed to be a 10k resistor pull-up. Is that an appropriate value, or should a stronger pull-up (like the 1k from above) be applied here?

    Spec is probably best but I am willing to bet that either value would work. I would remove the pull down leg though as well, R603.

    On the board I have, ALL of these components are not populated, or labeled... They are positioned in the same place as one of your layout screenshots above.

    I'll try to get an FMC interposer to pull up FMC D1 externally until the new rev goes for sale in June.
