PicoZed SDR power-only carrier

liuf_stanford

We're developing an application using the PicoZed SDR which needs only power inputs from the carrier - no IO (ethernet, USB, HDMI, etc...) required. Since we don't want to re-invent the wheel, are there any such designs which already implement this functionality? If not, are there any good resources out there which might help us design our own carrier?

 

I know Avnet no longer sells PicoZed SDR units, but I'm posting here since replies on the EngineerZone forum are slow (and mostly useless).

 

Thanks!

    Thanks, Pat. We'll look toward developing our own board based off of the breakout carrier schematic. I'll also be sure to update the SOM's power sequencer.

     

    If we plan to use only 5V, is there any handshaking necessary between the carrier and SOM (from the schematic it seems that this is not the case but I wanted to double-check just to be sure)? I also see from the user guide that there are several 5V VIN pins and numerous GND pins - are they all tied together on the SOM or does the carrier need to provide connectors for all of them?
