====== Zmod Scope Reference Manual ====== Formerly known as the Zmod ADC. The Digilent Zmod Scope is an open-source hardware SYZYGY™ ((The “SYZYGY™ ” mark is owned by Opal Kelly.))compatible pod containing a dual-channel ADC and the associated front end. The Zmod Scope is intended to be used with any SYZYGY™ compatible carrier board having the required capabilities. {{Digilent Image Gallery | image = {{:zmod:scope:zmodscope-generic-obl-1000.png?direct|}} | image = {{:zmod:scope:zmodscope-1410-bottom-1000.png?direct|}} | image = {{:zmod:scope:zmodscope-generic-top-1000.png?direct|}} }} The Zmod Scope was designed to be a piece in a modular, HW and SW open-source ecosystem. The Zmod Scope can acquire two signals, with simultaneous sampling. Combined with a SYZYGY™ carrier, other SYZYGY™ compatible pods, Zmod Scope can be used for a variety of applications: data acquisition systems, closed loop controllers, scopes, etc. * There are multiple members in the Zmod Scope family: * Zmod Scope 1410-40: 14-bit, 40MSPS * Zmod Scope 1410-105: 14-bit, 105MSPS * Zmod Scope 1410-125: 14-bit, 125MSPS * Zmod Scope 1210-40: 12-bit, 40MSPS * Zmod Scope 1210-125: 12-bit, 125MSPS * Zmod Scope 1010-40: 10-bit, 40MSPS * Zmod Scope 1010-125: 10-bit, 125MSPS The Zmods in the family are similar, with small loading and performance differences, as explained in the current user manual. In this document, all the members of the family are generically referred as Zmod Scope and only aspects which differ between members are explicitly shown. ===== Features ===== //{{anchor:table_1:Table 1.

Architectural Overview and Block Diagram ===== This document describes the Zmod Scope's circuits, with the intent of providing a better understanding of its electrical functions, operations, and a more detailed description of the hardware’s features and limitations. It is not intended to provide enough information to enable complete duplication of the Zmod Scope, but can help users to design custom configurations for programmable parts in the design. Zmod Scope's block diagram is presented in [[#figure_2|Fig. 2]] below. The core of the Analog Zmod Scope is a dual channel, high speed, low power ADC, as shown in [[#table_1|Table 1]]. The carrier board is responsible to configure the internal registers of the ADC circuit, provide the acquisition clock and receive the data. The **Analog Input** block is also called the **Scope**, because of similar structure and behavior to such a front end. The signals in this circuitry use a "SC" indexes to indicate they are related to the scope block. Signals and equations also use certain naming conventions. Analog voltages are prefixed with a "V" (for voltage), and suffixes and indexes are used in various ways: to specify the location in the signal path (IN, MUX, BUF, ADC, etc.); to indicate the related instrument (SC, etc.); to indicate the channel (1 or 2); and to indicate the type of signal (P, N, or diff). Referring to the block diagram in [[#figure_2|Fig. 2]] below: * The** Analog Inputs/Scope** instrument block includes: * **Input Divider and Gain Selection**: high bandwidth input adapter/divider. High or low-gain can be selected by the FPGA * **Buffer**: high impedance buffer * **Driver**: provides appropriate signal levels and protection to the ADC. * **Scope Reference**: generates and buffers reference voltages for the scope stages * **ADC**: the analog-to-digital converter for both scope channels. * The **Power Supplies and Control** block generates all internal supply voltages. * The **MCU** works as a I2C memory for two different purposes: * The **DNA** includes the standard [[https://syzygyfpga.io|SYZYGY™]] pod identification information. * The **Calibration Memory** stores all calibration parameters. Except for the “Probe Calibration” trimmers in the scope Input divider, the Zmod Scope includes no analog calibration circuitry. Instead, a calibration operation is performed at manufacturing (or by the user), and parameters are stored in memory. The application software uses these parameters to correct the acquired data and the generated signals In the sections that follow, schematics are not shown separately for identical blocks. For example, the Scope Input Divider and Gain Selection schematic is only shown for channel 1 since the schematic for channel 2 is identical. Indexes are omitted where not relevant. As examples, in equation \ref{1} below, $V_{SCOPE-SMA}$ does not contain the channel index (because the equation applies to both channels 1 and 2). {{reference:test-and-measurement:zmodadc:zmodadcblockdiagram.png?w=600&h=400&t=1566215726&tok=f0af6e}} //{{anchor:figure_2:Figure 2. Zmod Scope Block diagram.}}// ---- ===== 2. Scope ===== ==== 2.1. Scope Input Divider and Gain Selection ==== [[#figure_3|Fig. 3]] shows the scope input divider and gain selection stage. C5 and C6 are capacitive trimmers, 3...10pF, -0/+50% tolerance. The worse case range is 4.5...10pF. All other capacitors are 1% tolerance, all the resistors are 0.1%. The IC1 relay switches between two symmetrical R-C dividers. Each of them provide: * Scope input impedance = 1MOhm || 18pF * Two different attenuations for high-gain/low-gain (25:1) * Controlled capacitance, much higher than the parasitical capacitance of subsequent stages * Constant attenuation over a large frequency range (trimmer adjusted) The maximum voltage rating for scope inputs is limited to: $$-50VPH (high gain divider), parallel to C6, and CPL (low gain divider), parallel to C7. The trimmers should compensate for these parasitic capacities and adjust for perfect matching: $$C_3*R_2 = (C_{PH} + C_6)*(R_4+R_6)\label{7}\tag{7}$$ $$(C_{PH} + C_6) = \frac{C_3*R_2}{R_4+R_6} = 18pF\label{8}\tag{8}$$ $$(C_4 + C_5)*(R_1 + R_3) = (C_{PL} + C_7)*R_5\label{9}\tag{9}$$ $$(C_{PL} + C_7) = (C_4 + C_5)*\frac{(R_1 + R_3)}{R_5}\label{10}\tag{10}$$ With the chosen values, the correct adjustment results in about mid-position of trimmers C5 and C6: $$C_5 = C_6 = 7pF\label{11}\tag{11}$$ which solves the parasitic capacities as: $$C_{PH} = 11pF\label{12}\tag{12}$$ $$C_{PL} = 8.8pF\label{13}\tag{13}$$ The Low Gain and High Gain dividers have very close equivalent capacitance, within the tolerances and model approximations: $$C_{HGech} = \frac{C_3*R_2}{R_2+R_4+R_6} = C_{ech} = 17.28pF\label{14}\tag{14}$$ $$C_{LGech} = \frac{(C_7+C_{PL})*R_5}{R_1+R_3+R_5} = 16.03p\label{15}\tag{15}$$ Experiments show that the equivalent capacitances are even closer than the values above, about 18pF. The computing error mainly derives from trimmer position approximation. $$C_{ech} = 18p\label{16}\tag{16}$$ The IC2 relay shorts the C1 capacitor when DC coupling is desired. Otherwise, C1 forms a High Pass filter with the selected divider, for AC coupling, with the corner frequency: $$f_c = \frac{1}{2*\pi*R_{ech}*(C_{ech}+C_{1})} \approx \frac{1}{2*\pi*R_{ech}*C_{1}} = 10.6Hz\label{17}\tag{17}$$ {{reference:test-and-measurement:zmodadc:inputdivider.png}} //{{anchor:figure_3:Figure 3. Input divider and gain selection.}}// IC1 and IC2 in [[#figure_3|Fig. 3]], are [[https://hongfa.com/product/detail/70689a00-9d73-4802-b0ac-e36561332f57|HFD4/4.5L]] latching relays (possible replacement: [[https://www.te.com/commerce/DocumentDelivery/DDEController?Action=srchrtrv&DocNm=108-98001&DocType=SS&DocLang=EN|IM42GR]]). The schematic shows the "reset" position. A relay is "set" when a positive voltage is applied at the coil terminals and it is "reset" when a negative voltage is applied (see the polarity on the schematic symbol). The relay keeps state when no current flows trough the coil (the terminals are driven at the same voltage or at least one of the terminals is "open"). The nominal coil voltage is 4.5V. The IC16, IC17 and IC18 in [[#figure_4|Fig. 4]] are [[https://www.digikey.com/en/datasheets/allegromicrosystemsllc/allegro-microsystems-llca3910datasheetashx|A3910EEETR-T]] drivers for the relays. They feature: * Low RDS(on) outputs * Standby mode with zero current drain * Small 2 × 2 DFN package * Crossover Current protection * Thermal Shutdown protection Normally, all of them have both HIN and LIN inputs "low" or both "High" driving the "OUT" pins "High Z". To "set" a relay, OUT2 of IC16 is set "Low" (HIN="Low", LIN="High") and the corresponding OUT pin of IC17 or IC18 is set "High" (HIN="High", LIN="Low"). All other OUT pins are set "High Z". To "reset" a relay, OUT2 of IC16 is set "High" (HIN="High", LIN="Low") and the corresponding OUT pin of IC17 or IC18 is set "Low" (HIN="Low", LIN="High"). All other OUT pins are set "High Z". {{reference:test-and-measurement:zmodadc:relaydrivers.png}} //{{anchor:figure_4:Figure 4. Relay Drivers.}}// IC14 and IC15 in [[#figure_5|Fig. 5]] are [[https://www.nexperia.com/products/analog-logic-ics/asynchronous-interface-logic/buffers-inverters-drivers/74LVC07ABQ.html|74LVC07ABQ]] open-drain gates used as level translators from VADJ = 1.8V to VCC5V0 = 5V. * 5 V tolerant inputs and outputs (open-drain) for interfacing with 5 V logic * Wide supply voltage range from 1.2 V to 5.5 V * CMOS low power consumption * Direct interface with TTL levels * Inputs accept voltages up to 5 V * Complies with JEDEC standard: * JESD8-7A (1.65 V to 1.95 V) * JESD8-5A (2.3 V to 2.7 V) * JESD8-C/JESD36 (2.7 V to 3.6 V) * ESD protection: * HBM JESD22-A114F exceeds 2000 V * MM JESD22-A115-B exceeds 200 V * CDM JESD22-C101E exceeds 1000 V * Specified from -40 °C to +85 °C and -40 °C to +125 °C {{reference:test-and-measurement:zmodadc:leveltranslators.png}} //{{anchor:figure_5:Figure 5. Level Translators.}}// ==== 2.2. Scope Buffer ==== The scope buffer stage provides very high impedance as load for the input divider. The gain is: $$\frac {V_{BUFF}}{V_{SC-HLG}}=1\label{20}\tag{20}$$ The actual input and output range (for nominal usage) is: $-1Vadj. The multiplexed mode is used, to combine the two channels on a single data bus and minimize the number of used FPGA pins. CLKOUT_SC is provided to the FPGA for synchronizing data. ---- ==== 2.6. Scope Signal Scaling ==== The nominal differential ADC input voltage range is: $$-1Vin voltage value at the input of the Scope channel, the Zmod Scope sends a signed n bit integer, N. This value is used to compute Vin: $$V_{in} = \frac{N \cdot Range \cdot (1+CG)}{2^{n-1}} + CA \label{45}\tag{45}$$ where: * n = the number of bits (14 for Zmod Scope 14XX, 12 for Zmod Scope 12XX, 10 for Zmod Scope 10XX) * N = the n bit, 2's complement integer number returned by the ADC * Vin= the corrected value of the input voltage * CA = calibration Additive constant (for the appropriate channel and gain; see [[#Table_4|Table 4]]) * CG = calibration Gain constant (for the appropriate channel and gain; see [[#Table_4|Table 4]]) * Range = the ideal Range of the Scope input stage (approximation of the values in equation \ref{40}): * 1.086 (for low range: ±1V) or * 26.25 (for high range: ±25V) ---- ==== 2.7 Scope Spectral Characteristics ==== [[#figure_12|Fig. 12]] shows a typical spectral characteristic of the scope input stage. A PXIe-5433 80 MHz Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator was used to generate the input signal of 0.9V, for High Gain Scale, respectively 10V for the Low Gain scale. A Tektronix DPO5204B scope was used for measuring the reference signal (at the scope SMA connector) and the output signal (at the input of the ADC). A differential probe was used to read the output signal on the pads of the unloaded C115. The signal swept from 800kHz to 80MHz. The effective values of the input and output signals were recorded for each frequency. The measurements were further processed to display the input stage frequency characteristics, as shown in [[#figure_10|Fig. 10]]. For Zmod Scope XXXX-100MHz and Zmod Scope XXXX-125MHz, for both scales, the 3dB bandwidth is 70MHz+. The 0.5dB bandwidth is 30MHz and the 0.1dB bandwidth is 20MHz. For Zmod Scope XXXX-40MHz, for both scales, the 3dB bandwidth is 20MHz+. The 0.5dB bandwidth is 8MHz and the 0.1dB bandwidth is 4MHz The standard -3dB bandwidth definition is derived from filter theory. At cutout frequency, the scope attenuates the spectral components by 0.707, assuming an error of ~30%, way too high for a measuring instrument. The bandwidth with a specified flatness is useful to better define the scope spectral performances. The bandwidth @ 0.5dB, means a flatness error of a max 5.6%, while bandwidth @ 0.1dB means flatness error of a max 1.1%. {{reference:test-and-measurement:zmodadc:bwdchrlg3dballversions.png}} {{reference:test-and-measurement:zmodadc:bwdchrlg05dballversions.png}}{{reference:test-and-measurement:zmodadc:bwdclrhg3dballversions.png}} {{reference:test-and-measurement:zmodadc:bwdclrhg05dballversions.png}} //{{anchor:figure_12:Figure 12.

MCU ===== The [[https://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/ATTINY44A|ATtiny44]] MCU in [[#figure_13|Fig. 13]] works as a I2C memory, storing the SYZYGY™ DNA information and the Calibration Coefficients. The J5 connector is used for programming the MCU and the SYZYGY™ DNA at manufacturing. The DNA and the Factory Calibration Coefficients are stored in the Flash memory of the MCU, which appears to the I2C interface as "read-only". The User Calibration Coefficients are stored in the EEPROM memory of the MCU, which is write-protected via a magic number at a magic address.

Calibration Memory ==== The analog circuitry described in previous chapters includes passive and active electronic components. The datasheet specs show parameters (resistance, capacitance, offsets, bias currents, etc.) as typical values and tolerances. The equations in previous chapters consider typical values. Component tolerances affect DC and AC performances of the Zmod Scope. To minimize these effects, the design uses: * 0.1% resistors and 1% capacitors in all the critical analog signal paths * Capacitive trimmers for balancing the Scope Input Divider and Gain Selection * No other mechanical trimmers (as these are big, expensive, unreliable and affected by vibrations, aging, and temperature drifts) * Software calibration, at manufacturing * User software calibration, as an option A software calibration is performed on each device as a part of the manufacturing test. Reference signals are connected to the Scope inputs. A set of measurements is used to identify all the DC errors (Gain, Offset) of each analog stage. Correction (Calibration) parameters are computed and stored in the Calibration Memory, on the Zmod Scope device, both as Factory Calibration Data and User Calibration Data. The WaveForms software allows the user performing an in-house calibration and overwrite the User Calibration Data. Returning to Factory Calibration is always possible. The Software reads the calibration parameters from the Zmod Scope MCU via the I2C bus and uses them to correct the acquired signals. The structure of the calibration data is shown below: //{{anchor:table_4:Table 4.
