Notes on Novena AFE

EVT bringup notes

All variants

  • R17P is wrong. The current value of 45k sets the output to 3.3V. Should be 52.3k to set the output to 3.7V
  • R21C, R20C is too weak. Set to 1k to overcome the internal bias on SP0,1

High speed variant

  • Capacitive loading of VCMO is too large for 0-ohm stability with buffers. Replace R10I, R11I with 620 ohm, 1% resistors. Some tuning could be used later on, e.g. values were chosen conservatively large for stability, but if ripple appears on the line consider reducing resistor to improve ripple performance.

  • C38C 1500pF -> 82pF
  • R23C 3k -> 2.7k
  • C37C 4.7uF -> 3.3nF
  • R25C 2.1k -> 1.3k
  • C36C 2200pF -> 270pF
  • Loop bandwidth: 102 kHz
  • Phase margin: 43.6 deg
  • Zero: 37.1 kHz
  • Pole: 275 kHz
  • Last pole: 951kHz

Estimated phase noise and jitter to ADC:

  Frequency: 1.00000GHz
  Broadband Jitter (>1kHz) =  558fs rms
    SNR =  69.10dB  ENOB =  11.52bits
      at IF Freq =  100MHz
  Integrated Phase Noise from  100kHz to 1.25MHz
    Timing Jitter =  302fs rms
    Phase Jitter EVM =   0.19 %rms
    Phase Jitter =   0.109 degrees rms
    ACI / ACR =  -57.5dBc
  Delay from Ref to OUT3 is  250ps

DAC-specific

U14A footprint is flipped. Must rework before power-up.
