CC-PC Archive

All information here is obsolete and kept for archiving purposes only
 

Specifications & Designs

• CC-PC board-design guidelines and recommendations

• ECS Interface (CC-PC and glue-card): The mechanical specifications can be found here. Please note that the width of the glue-card might still increase.

•    LHCb glue-card: Find the new pin-out of the LHCb glue-card here (the old pin-out is still here for comparison). An explanation for the changes in the pin-out can be found under this web-page.
  The mechanical dimensions of the gluecard can be found here.

The following is obsolete and is just kept for archiving purposes!!!!!!!!

A tgz archive of the cadence files is also available. Files in gluecard-fl.tgz contain the CERN specific devices and primitives. Use something like tar -zxf gluecard-cadence.tgz on UNIX, or winzip to extract the files. Similarly there is an archive with the Allegro files for the routed version of the current design.
The connector is described in these 2 files: con240ab_53475.psm, con240ab_53475.dra)

• RJ45 Connector: A preliminary mini-circuit can be found here. It is based on the 16ST8515 filtering circuit from Bothhand. Please wait with using it, until we release a final recommendation for a filtering connector.

•  Evaluation Board: Archives containing the Cadence files and the corresponding Allegro files of the routed current version. Files in smart-fl.tgz contain the CERN specific devices and primitives. Use something like tar -zxf smart-cadence.tgz on UNIX, or winzip to extract the files.
  Schematics in pdf  generated from the Cadence files.

Generic Electronics board block-diagram
An Evaluation Board has been developed to study various software and hardware aspects of the CCPC. This is its  Block Diagram (pdf).
