Version 22 (modified by collinsz, 8 years ago) (diff)

--

This is a small board which converts an electrical clock signal into an optical clock signal for use in AMC13 test stands. The PCB layout was done with ExpressPCB.

The board accommodates a SiLabs? Si590 programmable oscillator, with the nominal frequency chosen as 80.160 MHz (LHC nom. 40.08 MHz * 2). A jumper option allows an external clock to be input.

Requires 5V power from micro-USB (e.g. any phone charger or computer).

Assembly notes:

  • LEDs must be installed with longer lead in round pad
  • Be sure to install 2 inductors and 4 capacitors on the bottom (see notes).
