DAC38J84EVM: SYNC signal of JESD204B PIN at FMC is not connected

Part Number: DAC38J84EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DAC38J84

DEAR TI,

I am using a third party alinx xczu9eg ultrascale+mpsoc development board for JESD204B based DA development(DAC38J84EVM), The FMC daughter board I am using is DAC38J84EVM , where the synchronization signal SYNCBP/N of the DAC chip is connected to the F10,F11 interface of the FMC while other sync,SYNCAB,SYNCCB is also at the F row.

The critical problem is, i found the f row of my  third party  FPGA evaluation board is grounded!

Is there any way that I can overcome this?

best regards.

Shuai

  • Hi,

    You can try to flywire the J21 CMOS SYNC signals to your FPGA. You can configure it through software through option below

    Schematic location

    FYI. This is not a standard FMC compatible design FPGA. All Xilinx FPGAs should have this port routed per VITA 57 spec.

    Dear Kang:

    I'm confused about the I/O std of the signal from DAC38J84EVM through FMC(or Fly wire as you said).
    I could only find the SYNC_AB is a CMOS signal ,but what's the voltage standard? Is it LVCMOS33 or LVCOMS18 or something else?
    Also how should I configure the input signal voltage standard of SYNC_AB if I using wires to connect the port SYNC_AB and a port from 3.3V GPIO?

    ALSO,I'm very confused by the IO std of sysref_p/n, refclk_p/n , and tx_p/n[7:0] in particular.
    It seems I could not select the I/O std in vivado I/O ports menu.

    please help and give some advise.

    best regards.

  • Hi,

    You may refer to the datasheet Digital IO specification for detail:

    IO for DAC38j84 is 1.8V. You can use level translator parts for 3.3V to 1.8V conversion.
