Global Slice Requirements |
|---|
| Requirement | Implementation | Notes |
|---|
| Slices are mechanically and electrically compatible with ZCU208 and ZCU216 through the RF Breadboard. | - 2 channels per slice
- connector pin assignments
- maximum mechanical dimensions
|
|
Slices are mechanically and thermally compatible with a system that interfaces with the  standard chassis. |
|
|
| Slices operate within performance requirements across the operational temperature range. |
|
|
| Slices can operate in a mode that allows full manual testing. | - manual configuration of all switches and variable attenuators
|
|
| Sufficient dynamic range | - one or more variable attenuators/bypasssable amplifiers
|
|
| Software cannot break the hardware. | - Self-biased or biasing controlled locally using hardware controller
- Maximum DAC output cannot result in component overdrive
|
|
| Report critical telemetry (in what format - raw analog, or add ADC? transceiver?) | - RF input power
- RF output power
- Reflected power from next stage?
- Temperature of most thermally constrained component
|
|
| Failure detection and reporting | - Voltage rail short detection?
- Temperature out of range?
| - Reporting depends on local controller (or lack thereof)
|
| Store and report identifying information (in what manner?) | - Board serial number
- All current hardware settings
|
|
| Debug features (desired) | - Filter bypass
- Gain bypass
- Voltage monitoring for all voltage rails OR
- Test points for all voltage rails
- Test points for all analog telemetry
- RF debug connectors for source and intermediate connections
- External power supply connectors
