-The Analog Discovery 2 was designed for students in typical university-based circuits and electronics classes. Its features and specifications, as well as the additional requirements of operating from USB or external power, maintaining the small and portable form factor, the robustness to withstand student use in a variety of environments, and low-cost are based directly on feedback that was obtained from numerous professors from several universities. Meeting all of these requirements proved challenging; however, the task ultimately generated some new and innovative circuits. This document describes the Analog Discovery 2'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 Analog Discovery 2, or to allow users to design custom configurations for programmable parts in the design. 
- 
- 
-Analog Discovery 2 is the next generation of the very popular Analog Discovery. The main improvements are: 
-  * Ability to use an external power supply and consequently deliver more power to user supplies. When USB-powered, the Analog Discovery 2 delivers the same power as the Analog Discovery. 
-  * New enclosure with enhanced design and improved connector reliability. 
-  * Improved signal/noise and crosstalk performances for both the scope and waveform generator.  
-  * Better defined bandwidth for both the scope and waveform generator.

-===== 1.1 Architectural Overview and Block Diagram ===== 
  
-Analog Discovery 2's high-level block diagram is presented in [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_2|Fig. 2]] below. The core of the Analog Discovery 2 is the [[http://www.xilinx.com/|Xilinx®]] [[http://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/fpga/spartan-6/index.htm|Spartan®-6]] FPGA (specifically, the XC6SLX16-1L device). The WaveForms application automatically programs the Discovery’s FPGA at start-up with a configuration file designed to implement a multi-function test and measurement instrument. Once programmed, the FPGA inside the Discovery communicates with the PC-based WaveForms application via a USB 2.0 connection. The WaveForms software works with the FPGA to control all the functional blocks of the Analog Discovery 2, including setting parameters, acquiring data, and transferring and storing data.+===== Oscilloscope =====
  
 +{{test-and-measurement:analog-discovery-2:oscilloscope.png?nolink&800}}
  
-Signals in the **Analog Input** block, also called the **Scope**, use "SC" indexes to indicate they are related to the scope block. Signals in the **Analog Output** block, also called **AWG**, use “AWG” indexes, and signals in the **Digital** block use a **D** index – all of the instruments offered by the Discovery 2 and WaveForms use the circuits in these three blocks. Signal 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, AWG, 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 [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_2|Fig. 2]] below:+The Analog Discovery 2 can be used with WaveForms' Oscilloscope instrument to capture analog input data via the analog input ("Scope") channels, using either BNC cables or MTE cables. When this instrument is used, the Analog Discovery 2's analog input channels act as a two-channel, 14-bit, 100 MS/s oscilloscope.
  
-  * The** Analog Inputs/Scope** instrument block includes: +You can use the [[test-and-measurement:bnc-adapter-board:start|BNC Adapter]] to use BNC cables with the oscilloscope.  Please remember when using BNC cables that the oscilloscope channels are single-ended and the circuit under test must still share a common ground with the Analog Discovery 2. With BNC cables, the analog input channels have a substantially higher bandwidth than with MTE cables.
-     * **Input Divider and Gain Control**: 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. Offset voltage is added for vertical position setting +
-     * **Scope Reference and Offset**: generates and buffers reference and offset voltages for the scope stages +
-     * **ADC**: the analog-to-digital converter for both scope channels. +
-  * The **Arbitrary Outputs/AWG** instrument block includes: +
-     * **DAC**: the digital-to-analog converter for both AWG channels +
-     * **I/V**: current to bipolar voltage converters +
-     * **Out**: output stages +
-     * **Audio**: audio amplifiers for headphone +
-  * A precision **Oscillator** and a **Clock Generator** provide a high quality clock signal for the AD and DA converters. +
-  * The **Digital I/O** block exposes protected access to the FPGA pins assigned for the Digital Pattern Generator and Logic Analyzer. +
-  * The **Power Supplies and Control** block generates all internal supply voltages as well as user supply programmable voltages. The control block also monitors the device power consumption for USB compliance when power is supplied via the USB connection. When external power supply is used, the control block allows more power for the user supplies. Under the FPGA control, power for unused functional blocks can be turned off. +
-  * The **USB Controller** interfaces with the PC for programming the volatile FPGA memory after power on or when a new configuration is requested. After that, it performs the data transfer between the PC and FPGA. +
-  * The **Calibration Memory** stores all calibration parameters. Except for the “Probe Calibration” trimmers in the scope Input divider, the Analog Discovery 2 includes no analog calibration circuitry. Instead, a calibration operation is performed at manufacturing (or by the user), and parameters are stored in memory. The WaveForms software uses these parameters to correct the acquired data and the generated signals+
  
 +When used with MTE cables, the oscilloscope channels' **+** and **-** pins are differentially paired. The **-** pins can be attached to a non-ground circuit net, but the circuit under test must still share a common ground with the Analog Discovery 2.
  
-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{4} below, $V_{in diff}$ does not contain the instrument index (which by context is understood to be the Scope), nor the channel index (because the equation applies to both channels 1 and 2). In equation \ref{3}, the type index is also missing because $V_{mux}$ and $V_{in}$ refer to any of //P// (positive), //N// (negative) or //diff// (differential) values.+Since the Analog Discovery 2's analog input channels are shared, the Oscilloscope instrument cannot be used at the same time as the Voltmeter, Data Logger, Spectrum Analyzer, Network Analyzer, or Impedance Analyzer instruments.

-====== 2. Oscilloscope ======+--> Important Note: Grounding Circuitry #
  
-{{reference:test-and-measurement:analog-discovery-pro-3x50:oscilloscope.png?nolink&800}}+Despite the fact that the Analog Discovery 2 analog input channels are fully differential, a GND connection to the circuit under test is required to provide a stable common mode voltage.
  
-//**Important Note**: Unlike traditional inexpensive scopes, the Analog Discovery 2 inputs are fully differential. However, a GND connection to the circuit under test is needed to provide a stable common mode voltage. The Analog Discovery 2 GND reference is connected to the USB GND. Depending on the PC powering scheme, and other PC connections (Ethernet, audio, etc. – which might also be grounded) the Analog Discovery 2 GND reference might be connected to the whole GND system and ultimately to the power network protection (earth ground). The circuit under test might also be connected to earth or  possibly floating. For safety reasons, it is the user’s responsibility to understand the powering and grounding scheme and make sure that there is a common GND reference between the Analog Discovery 2 and the circuit under test, and that the common mode and differential voltages do not exceed the limits shown in equation \ref{1}. Furthermore, for distortion-free measurements, the common mode and differential voltages need to fit into the linear range shown in Figs. [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_12|12]] and [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_13|13]].+The Analog Discovery 2's GND reference is connected to the USB GND.

 +The Analog Discovery 2 can be used with WaveForms' Wavegen instrument to output analog voltage waves via either BNC ([[test-and-measurement:bnc-adapter-board:start|BNC Adapter]]) cables or MTE cables. Wavegen converts 14-bit digital samples to analog at a rate of up to 100 MS/s on each of two channels. When Wavegen is used, the Analog Discovery 2's analog output channels act as an Arbitrary Waveform Generator. The instrument supports everything from simple waveforms like Sine and Triangle waves, up to more complicated functions like AM and FM modulation. Custom sets of samples can be defined by the user in applications like Excel and imported to WaveForms.

-The differential inputs are driven via a low-pass filter comprised of C141 together with R10 through R13, in the buffer stage. The differential clock is AC-coupled and the line is impedance matched. The clock is internally divided by two for operating at a constant 100 MHz sampling rate. An external reference voltage is used, buffered by IC 19. The ADC generates the common mode reference voltage (VCM_SC) to be used in the buffer stage. +
- +
-The differential input voltage range is: +
- +
-$$-1V<V_{ADC\;diff}<1V\label{19}\tag{19}$$ +
- +
- +
-==== 2.6.2. Digital Section ==== +

 +===== Data Logger =====
  
-===== 2.7. Scope Signal Scaling ===== +{{test-and-measurement:analog-discovery-2:logger.png?nolink&800}}
- +
- +
-Combining Gain equations \ref{3}, \ref{5}, \ref{9}, \ref{13}, \ref{14}, and \ref{15} from previous chapters, the total scope gains are: +
- +
-$$Low \; gain = \frac{V_{ADC\;diff}}{V_{in\;diff}}=0.034$$ +
-$$High \; gain = \frac{V_{ADC\;diff}}{V_{in\;diff}}=0.375\label{20}\tag{20}$$ +
- +
-Combining the ADC input voltage range shown in \ref{19} with $V_{offSC}$ at the midrange of \ref{11} (scope vertical position at 0), the Vin range is: +
- +
-$$at \; low \; gain: -30V<V_{in\;diff}<28.6V$$ +
-$$at \; high \; gain: -2.7V<V_{in\;diff}<2.6V\label{21}\tag{21}$$ +
- +
-To cover component value tolerances and to allow software calibration, only the ranges below are specified. +
- +
-$$at \; low \; gain: -25V<V_{in\;diff}<25V$$ +
-$$at \; high \; gain: -2.5V<V_{in\;diff}<2.5V\label{22}\tag{22}$$ +
- +
-With the 14-bit ADC, the absolute resolution of the scope is: +
- +
-$$at \; low \; gain: \frac{58.6V}{2^{14}}=3.58mV$$ +
-$$at \; high \; gain: \frac{5.3V}{2^{14}}=0.32mV\label{23}\tag{23}$$ +
- +
-The effect of the offset setting (scope vertical position) can be calculated from \ref{10}, \ref{11} and \ref{14}: +
- +
-$$-2V<V_{offSC}-V_{refSC}<2.044V\label{24}\tag{24}$$ +
- +
-The vertical position setting moves the signals vertically on the scope screen (relative to vertical screen center) by $V_{off eq in}$: +
- +
-$$at \; low \; gain: -59.3V<V_{off\;eq\;in}<59.3V$$ +
-$$at \; high \; gain: -5.39V<V_{off\;eq\;in}<5.39V\label{25}\tag{25}$$ +
- +
-The above adds an equivalent offset voltage $V_{off eq in}$ to $V_{in diff}$, translating the ranges in \ref{21} and \ref{22} by $V_{off eq in}$ , up to the limits in \ref{25}.  +
- +
-Equations \ref{2}, \ref{7}, \ref{8}, \ref{12}, and \ref{19} show signal range boundaries for keeping ICs in the input/output voltage ranges. Combining these with the gain equations, the overall linear scope operation range is shown Figs. [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_11|11]] & [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_12|12]]. Each equation is represented by a closed polygon. Each figure is shown at the full range and at a detailed range. Separate figures are shown for low-gain and for high-gain. The right hand diagrams use $V_{in diff}$ and $V_{in CM}$ coordinates while left hand ones use $V_{inP}$ and $V_{inN}$ coordinates. +
- +
-To be visible on the scope screen and not distorted, a signal should be included in all the solid line polygons of a figure (**linear range** = geometrical intersection of the surfaces). +
- +
-Only the differential input voltage is shown on the scope screen. The common mode voltage information is removed by the differential structure of the Analog Discovery 2 scope. A signal overpassing the linear range will be distorted on the scope screen, i.e. the graphical representation will be clamped. In the diagrams below, a signal outside the linear range will be clamped to the closest point in the linear range. The clamping point is not necessarily at the scope screen top or bottom edge, as explained below. +
- +

- +
-The dashed rectangles represent the display area on the scope screen. There are three dashed rectangles in each diagram: the middle one corresponds to the vertical position set to 0 (VoffSc = 2.022V in equation \ref{11}. The left one shows the display area when vertical position is set to maximum (VoffSc = 4.044V), and the right one corresponds to the minimum (negative) vertical position (VoffSc = 0V). Any intermediate vertical position is possible, moving the displayable area (virtual dashed rectangle) to any intermediate position. A signal crossing the long side of the dashed rectangle exceeds the displayable input voltage range causing the ADC to saturate (either at zero or at Full Scale). This is represented on the scope screen with dashed line warning to the user. +
- +
-{{ :analog_discovery_2:figure_12.png |Figure 12. Scope input signal range. Scale - High gain, in terms of - VinP and VinN (left), VinDiff and VinCM (right). Size - Full range (up), detail (down).}} +
-//{{anchor:figure_12:Figure 12. Scope input signal range. Scale - High gain, in terms of - VinP and VinN (left), VinDiff and VinCM (right). Size - Full range (up), detail (down).}}// +
- +
-A signal keeping within the dashed rectangle but crossing any solid line overrides electrical limits of intermediate circuits in the signal path (see the legend of the figures). This results in distorting the signal without saturating the ADC. The software has no information about this situation and cannot warn the user with specific signal representation. It is the user’s responsibility to understand and avoid such situations.  +
- +
-For low gain [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_11|(Fig. 11)]], the simple condition to stay in the linear range is to keep both positive and negative inputs $V_{inP}$, $V_{inN}$ in the ±26V range (as shown by equation \ref{2}). +
- +
-For high gain [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_12|(Fig. 12)]], by combining equations \ref{7} and \ref{5}, both positive and negative inputs in must stay in the range:  +
- +
-$$-26V<V_{inP},V_{inN}<10V\label{26}\tag{26}$$+
  
-Additionally, the differential input signal (combined with the equivalent offset voltage – vertical position) is visible only within the range:+The Analog Discovery 2 can be used with WaveForms' Logger instrument in order to capture large buffers of analog input data on the Scope pins.
  
-$$-7.5V<V_{inDiff}<7.5V\label{27}\tag{27}$$+The Data Logger can capture buffers of data at update rates of up to 10 samples per second. The maximum duration of a log is dependent on the update rate, but at the extreme, can run for over a thousand hours.
  
-Note the difference between typical parameter values considered by the figures and the safer min/max values used for the equations.+Since the Analog Discovery 2's analog input channels are shared, the Data Logger instrument cannot be used at the same time as the Oscilloscope, Voltmeter, Spectrum Analyzer, Network Analyzer, or Impedance Analyzer instruments.
  
-[[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_13|Figure 13]] shows an example of a signal distorted due to a common mode input voltage that is too large. The grey line is the reference, not distorted, signal. The differential input voltage is a 4Vpp triangle on top of a -5V DC component. The common mode input voltage is 10V. The vertical position of the scope is set to 5V and high gain is selected. The yellow line shows an identical signal, except the common mode input voltage is 15V. +For more information on the analog input (Logger) channels, please visit the [[test-and-measurement:analog-discovery-2:specifications|Analog Discovery 2 Specifications]]. For a walkthrough of the different features of WaveForms' Data Logger instrument, please visit the [[test-and-measurement:guides:waveforms-data-logger|Using the Data Logger]] guide.

-===== 2.8 Scope Spectral Characteristics =====+===== Logic Analyzer =====
  
-[[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_14|Figure 14]] shows a typical spectral characteristic of the scope. An Agilent 3320A 20 MHz Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generator was used to generate the input signal of 1VRMS. The signal swept from 100 Hz to 30 MHz. A coax cable and a Digilent Discovery BNC adapter were used to connect the input signal to the Discovery inputs.+{{test-and-measurement:analog-discovery-2:logic-analyzer.png?nolink&800}}
  
-The Network Analyzer was used, the WaveGen was set to External, the Gain was set at x10 (high-gain) for the upper figure, and x0.1 (low-gain) for the lower one. For both scales, the 3dB bandwidth is 30 MHz+. The 0.5dB bandwidth is 10 MHz and the 0.1dB bandwidth is 5 MHz.+The Analog Discovery 2 can be used with WaveForms' "Logic" instrument to act as a Logic Analyzer. When used this way, the 16 digital input/output channels are configured to capture high/low logic states on connected pins. These channels are capable of interfacing with 3.3 V and 1.8 V logic signals and are tolerant to voltages of up to 5V.
  
-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 Analog Discovery 2 exhibits 10 MHz @ 0.5dB, meaning that a 10 MHz sinusoidal signal is shown with a flatness error of a max 5.6%. 5 MHz @ 1dB means that a 5 MHz sinusoidal signal is shown with a flatness error of a max 1.5%. +Individual input/output channels can be grouped as buses and protocols. Protocol groups can be used to view the decoded contents of packets of many common communications protocols, including SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and I2S.
  
 +Signal states, decoded bus values, and decoded protocols can be used to trigger a Logic Analyzer capture. Protocol triggers include protocol-specific events, like start of transmission, end of transmission, or packet contents matching a value.
  
-{{ :analog_discovery_2:ad2_15.png |Figure 14. Scope spectral characteristic diagram. Low gain (up), high gain (down).}} +Digital input/output channels used by the Logic Analyzer instrument can still be used by other instruments using the same digital input/output channels.
-//{{anchor:figure_14:Figure 14. Scope spectral characteristic diagram. Low gain (up), high gain (down).}}//+
  
-As shown above, the measurements in Fig. 14 were taken with a coax cable and a Digilent Discovery BNC adapter. This is the optimal setup that allows maximal Analog Discovery spectral performance. The wire kit included with the Analog Discovery 2 is a cheap, easy-to-use probing solution. However, the wire kit reduces the bandwidth of the scope and is susceptible to inducing noise and crosstalk from adjacent circuits. [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_21|Fig. 21]] shows the spectral characteristic diagram for the AWG connected to the scope with the wire kit.+For more information on the digital input/output channels, please visit the [[test-and-measurement:analog-discovery-2:specifications|Analog Discovery 2 Specifications]]. For a walkthrough of the different features of WaveForms' Logic Analyzer instrument, please visit the [[test-and-measurement:guides:waveforms-logic-analyzer|Using the Logic Analyzer]] guide.

-[[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_21|Figure 21]] shows the typical spectral characteristic of the AWG. In the first experiment (up), a coax cable and a Digilent Discovery BNC adapter were used to connect the AWG signal to the Scope inputs. For the second experiment (down), the AWG was connected to the scope inputs via the Analog Discovery wire kit. The Analog Discovery 2 Scope hardware was considered a reference for the experiments above because it has preferred spectral characteristics to the AWG.   +{{test-and-measurement:analog-discovery-2:impedance-analyzer.png?nolink&800}}
  
-The Network Analyzer virtual instrument in WaveForms is used to perform synchronized signal synthesis and acquisition. It takes control of channel 1 of AWG and of both scope channels. Start/Stop frequencies are set to 100 Hz/25 MHz, respectively. Sinus amplitude is set to 1V. The characteristic is built in 100 steps. The 3dB bandwidth is 12 MHz with the coax cable and 9 MHz with the wire kit. The 0.5dB bandwidth is 4 MHz with the coax cable and 2.9 MHz with the wire kit. The 0.1dB is 1 MHz with the coax cable and 800 kHz with the wire kit. +The Analog Discovery 2 can be used with WaveForms' Impedance instrument to view a wide variety of frequency response characteristics of a circuit under test. Input, Phase, Voltage, Current, Impedance, Admittance, Inductance, Factor, and Nyquist plots are all available. In addition, Custom plots can be used to present the results of a wide variety of different mathematical operations on buffered data.  Check out the [[add-ons:impedance-analyzer:start|Impedance Analyzer Adapter]] for more information 
  
 +A sweep is performed in order to test the response of the circuit at varying frequencies. The signal used to perform the sweep can be selected from a variety of presets, with configurable amplitude and offset. An external network analyzer reference circuit can be selected from a variety of options.

-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, AC, and CMMR performances of the Analog Discovery 2. 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. AWG signals are passed to a reference instrument and 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 Analog Discovery 2 device, as Factory Calibration. The WaveForms software allows the user performing an in-house calibration and overwrite the Calibration Data. Returning to Factory Calibration is always possible. +

-IC48 drives PWRGD output HIGH (turning IC26 ON) when Vext is in the range: +

-$$4.11V=400mV \cdot \frac {R_{248} + R_{249}+R_{273}}{R_{249} + R_{273}} < V_{ext} < 400mV \cdot \frac {R_{248} + R_{249} + R_{273}}{R_{273}}=5.76V\label{45}\tag{45}$$ +
- +
-The Analog Discovery 2 exhibits two main powering modes: USB and External. Temporary modes (Racing OFF, USB OFF and Racing) are explained here for design clarifications, but have no importance for the user observed behavior. +
- +
-  * **Racing OFF** – immediately after reset, before FPGA is programmed, if an external power supply is attached and in the right range (PWRGD = HIGH). +
-  * **USB OFF** – immediately after reset, before FPGA is programmed, if external power supply is missing or out-of-range (PWRGD = LOW). +
-  * **USB** – all the power is drained from the Vbus (IC21 = ON, IC26 = OFF). The external power supply is either missing or out of the right voltage range. The power available for both User Supplies is limited to 0.7W.  +
-  * **Racing** – when external power supply is in the right voltage range (PWRGD = HIGH), before WaveForms stops the USB Power Controller. During racing mode, both USB Power Controller (IC21) and External Power controller (IC26) are ON, the device drains power from whatever supply has a higher voltage (D28 and D29 work as a maxim voltage detector). The Racing mode is temporary, it ends when the FPGA is configured and communicates with the WaveForms software. During Racing mode, the power available for User Supplies is limited. +
-  * **External** – the device is powered from an external supply (via the 5V DC connector and IC26). Vext is in the range shown by equation \ref{45} (PWRGD = HIGH, and WaveForms already stopped the USB Power Controller (IC21). The User Supplies current and power limits are increased to 700mA or 2.1W each. The only circuit still supplied from the USB VBUS is the USB controller (IC41). +
- +
-At Power ON, the FPGA is not programmed, EN_VBUS is HiZ, the pulldown resistor R246 turns Q1 OFF, IC21 is ON via R174. The Analog Discovery 2 starts in **USB OFF** mode (when PWRGD = LOW) or **Racing OFF** mode (when PWRGD = HIGH). The WaveForms software first configures the FPGA, and the device turns into **USB** or **Racing** mode, depending on presence/absence of correct external supply voltage. The FPGA continuously monitors the voltage at the 5V DC connector. When detecting the **Racing** mode (PWRGD = HIGH), WaveForms sends the command to drive EN_VBUS HIGH, turning the USB Power Controller (IC21) OFF, thus switching to **External** mode.  +
- +
-If external Power Supply is attached after WaveForms started and runs several instruments, the device steps seamlessly trough **USB -> Racing -> External** modes. Running instruments are not affected, except User Supplies get more available power. +
- +
-However, removing the external power supply during **External** mode is not seamless. Only the USB controller keeps working (as supplied from the USB port). The FPGA gets unpowered and loses configuration data. The device stops all the instruments, EN_VBUS go HiZ, which leads to the **USB OFF** mode. WaveForms will prompt the user to select the device, which will re-program the FPGA. All the instruments can then be run, in the **USB** mode. +
- +
-An [[http://www.analog.com/en/power-management/power-monitors/adm1177/products/product.html|ADM1177]] Hot Swap Controller and Digital Power Monitor with Soft Start Pin is used to provide USB power compliance during **USB** and **Racing** modes [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_23|(IC21 in Fig. 23)]]. +
- +
-Remarkable ADM1177 features are: +
-  * Safe live board insertion and removal  +
-  * Supply voltages from 3.15 V to 16.5 V +
-  * Precision current sense amplifier +
-  * 12-bit ADC for current and voltage read  +
-  * Adjustable analog current limit with circuit breaker +
-  * ±3% accurate hot swap current limit level  +
-  * Fast response limits peak fault current +
-  * Automatic retry or latch-off on current fault +
-  * Programmable hot swap timing via TIMER pin +
-  * Soft start pin for reference adjustment and programming of initial current ramp rate +
-  * I2C fast mode-compliant interface (400 kHz maximum) +
- +
-When enabled, (in **USB** or **Racing** modes), IC21 limits the current consumed from the USB port to: +
- +
-$${I_{limit}} = \frac{{100mV}}{{{R_{173}}}} = \frac{{100mV}}{{0.1\Omega }} = 1A\label{46}\tag{46}$$ +
- +
- +
-For a maximum time of:  +
- +
-$$t_{fault}=21.7 \left[ ms / \mu F \right] \cdot C_{80}=21.7 \left[ ms / \mu F \right] \cdot 0.47\mu F =10.2ms\label{47}\tag{47}$$ +
- +
-If the consumed current does not fall below ${I_{limit}}$ before ${t_{fault}}$, IC21 turns off Q2A. A hot swap retry is initiated after: +
- +
-$$t_{cool}=550 \left[ ms / \mu F \right] \cdot C_{80} = 550 \left[ \frac{ms}{\mu F} \right] \cdot 0.47 \mu F = 258.5ms\label{48}\tag{48}$$ +
- +
-To avoid high inrush currents at hot swap, Soft Start circuitry limits the current slope to: +
- +
-$$\frac {dI_{limit}}{dt} = \frac {10 \mu A}{C_{81}} \cdot \frac {1}{10 \cdot R_{173}} =212 \frac {mA}{ms} \label{49}\tag{49}$$ +
- +
-If the current drops below $\;{I_{limit}}$ before ${t_{fault}}$, normal operation begins. +
- +
-Similarly, IC26 (in **Racing** or **External** modes), limits the current consumed from the external power supply to: +
- +
-$${I_{limit}} = \frac {100mV}{R_{247}} = \frac {100mV}{0.036 \Omega} = 2.78A\label{50}\tag{50}$$ +
- +
-${t_{fault}}$ and ${t_{cool}}$ are same as for IC21, and the current slope limit is: +
- +
-$$\frac {dI_{limit}}{dt} = \frac{10\mu A}{C_{432}} \cdot \frac{1}{10 \cdot R_{247}}=591 \frac{mA}{ms}\label{51}\tag{51}$$ +
- +
-The Analog Discovery 2 user pins are overvoltage protected. Overvoltage (or ESD) diodes short when a user pin is overdriven by the external circuitry (Circuit Under Test), back powering the input/output block and all the circuits sharing the same internal power supply. If the back-powered energy is higher than the used energy, the bi-directional power supply recovers the difference and delivers it to the previous node in the power chain. Eventually, the back-powering energy could arrive to the USB VBUS, raising the voltage above the 5V nominal value. D28 in [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_23|Fig. 23]] protects the PC USB port against such a situation.+

-IC27 limits the current consumed by both user power supplies together. The WaveForms software commands the FPGA to change the limit, depending on the power mode.  +
- +
-During **USB** and **Racing** modes, SET_ILIM_USR pin is driven LOW by the FPGA. The voltage at the ISET pin of IC27 is: +
- +
-$${V_{Iset}} = \frac{{\frac{{{V_{cap}}}}{{{R_{253}}}}}}{{\frac{1}{{{R_{253}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{254}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{255}}}}}} = \frac{{\frac{{3.6V}}{{10k\Omega }}}}{{\frac{1}{{10k\Omega }} + \frac{1}{{1.74k\Omega }} + \frac{1}{{22.6k\Omega }}}} = 0.5V\label{52}\tag{52}$$ +
- +
-The current limit is set to: +
- +
-$$I_{limit}= \frac{V_{Iset}}{40 \cdot R_{21}} = \frac{0.5V}{40 \cdot 0.043 \Omega} = 290mA\label{53}\tag{53}$$ +
- +
-During **External** and **OFF** modes, SET_ILIM_USR pin is driven HiZ by the FPGA. The voltage at the ISET pin of IC27 is: +
- +
-$$V_{Iset}= \frac {V_{cap} \cdot R_{255}}{R_{253} + R_{255}} = \frac{3.6V \cdot 22.6k \Omega }{10k \Omega + 22.6k \Omega} = 2.5V\label{54}\tag{54}$$ +
- +
-The current limit is set to: +
- +
-$$I_{limit}= \frac {V_{Iset}}{40 \cdot R_{21}} = \frac {2.5V}{40 \cdot 0.043 \Omega} = 1.45A\label{55}\tag{55}$$ +
- +
-In both cases, ${I_{limit}}$ **is allowed** for a maximum time of: +
- +
-$$t_{fault}=21.7 \left[ ms / \mu F \right] \cdot C_{170} = 21.7 \left[ ms / \mu F \right] \cdot 4.7 \mu F = 102ms\label{56}\tag{56}$$ +
- +
-If the consumed current does not fall below ${I_{limit}}$ before ${t_{fault}}$, IC21 turns off Q2. A hot swap retry is initiated after: +
- +
-$$t_{cool}=550 \left[ ms / \mu F \right] \cdot C_{80} = 550 \left[ ms / \mu F \right] \cdot 4.7 \mu F = 2.585s\label{57}\tag{57}$$ +
- +
- +
-Soft Start is not used; C183 is a No Load. +
- +
-If the current drops below ${I_{limit}}$ before ${t_{fault}}$, normal operation begins. +
- +
-The current limited by equations \ref{53} and \ref{55} is shared by both positive and negative user power supplies. After considering the efficiency of the user supply stages, about 100mA is available for user in both supplies together, in **USB Only** mode. In **External** mode, the current/power limit for user is set in the User Voltage Supplies, as explained below. +
- +
-----  +
-===== 6.4. User Voltage Supplies ===== +
- +
-The user power supplies [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_26|(Fig. 26)]] use ADP1612 Switching Converter in Buck-Boost DC-to-DC topology. Main features: +
- +
-  * 1.4A current limit +
-  * Minimum input voltage 1.8V +
-  * Pin-selectable 650 kHz or 1.3 MHz PWM frequency  +
-  * Adjustable output voltage up to 20 V  +
-  * Adjustable soft start  +
-  * Undervoltage lockout +
- +
-IC46A/B op amps insert the command voltages $V_{SET+\_USR}$ and $V_{SET-\_USR}$, respectively, in the feedback loop. Additionally, IC46B introduces the required inversion for the negative supply.  +
- +
-{{ :analog_discovery_2:ad2_27.png |Figure 26. User power supplies.}} +
-//{{anchor:figure_26:Figure 26. User power supplies.}}// +
- +
-Since the op amps are included in negative feedback loops, the input pins voltages are equal: +
- +
-$${V_{ + IC46A}} = \frac{{\frac{{{V_{OUT + \_USR}}}}{{{R_{188}}}} + \frac{{{V_{SET + \_USR}}}}{{{R_{193}}}}}}{{\frac{1}{{{R_{188}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{193}}}}}} = {V_{ - IC46A}} = \frac{{\frac{{{V_{FB}}}}{{{R_{266}}}}}}{{\frac{1}{{{R_{265}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{266}}}}}}\label{58}\tag{58}$$ +
- +
-$${V_{ + IC46B}} = \frac{{\frac{{{V_{OUT - \_USR}}}}{{{R_{187}}}} + \frac{{{V_{FB}}}}{{{R_{270}}}}}}{{\frac{1}{{{R_{187}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{270}}}}}} = {V_{ - IC46B}} = \frac{{\frac{{{V_{SET - \_USR}}}}{{{R_{190}}}}}}{{\frac{1}{{{R_{72}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{190}}}}}}\label{59}\tag{59}$$ +
- +
-The input impedances for the op amps are matched: +
- +
-$$\frac{1}{{{R_{188}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{193}}}} = \frac{1}{{{R_{265}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{266}}}}\label{60}\tag{60}$$ +
- +
-$$\frac{1}{{{R_{187}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{270}}}} = \frac{1}{{{R_{72}}}} + \frac{1}{{{R_{190}}}}\label{61}\tag{61}$$ +
- +
-The user voltages are: +
- +
-$$V_{OUT\;+\_USR}=V_{FB} \cdot \frac{R_{188}}{R_{266}} - V_{SET\;+\_USR} \cdot \frac{R_{188}}{R_{193}}=5.33V-4.87 \cdot V_{SET\;+\_USR}\label{62}\tag{62}$$ +
- +
-$$V_{OUT\;-\_USR}=-V_{FB} \cdot \frac{R_{187}}{R_{270}} + V_{SET\;-\_USR} \cdot \frac{R_{187}}{R_{190}}=-5.33V+4.87 \cdot V_{SET\;-\_USR}\label{63}\tag{63}$$ +
- +
-Where: +
- +
-$${V_{FB}} = 1.235V\;typical\label{64}\tag{64}$$ +
- +
-IC43 [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_18|(Fig. 18)]] generates the setting voltages in the range: +
- +
-$$0 < V_{SET + \_USR},\; V_{SET - \_USR} < 1.2V\label{65}\tag{65}$$ +
- +
-Which would allow output voltages to be set in the ranges: +
- +
-$$ - 0.51V \le {V_{SET + \_USR}} < 5.33V\label{66}\tag{66}$$ +
- +
-$$0.51V \ge \; V_{SET - \_USR} >  - 5.33V\label{67}\tag{67}$$ +
- +
-The margins allow for compensating the components’ tolerances. After calibration, the WaveForms SW only allows the ranges 0 to +/-5V respectively. Even so, output voltages below absolute value of 0.5V are not guaranteed. With light loads, such voltages might exhibit significant ripple (~15mV). +
- +
-Each supply can be disabled by the FPGA.+

-The Output voltage is set with an external resistor divider from Vout to FB: +
- +
-$$\frac{{{R_{180}}}}{{{R_{181}}}} = \;\frac{{ - {V_{out}} - {V_{ref}}}}{{{V_{ref}}}}\label{68}\tag{68}$$ +

-Choosing $R_{181} = 10.2k{\text{\Omega }}$: +
- +
-$$R_{180}= \frac{3.3V-0.8V}{0.8V} \cdot 10.2k \Omega = 31.87k \Omega \label{69}\tag{69}$$ +
- +
-Closest standard value is $R_{180} = 31.6k{\text{\Omega }}$ +
- +
-The 5.5V and -5.5V supplies [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_30|Fig. 30]] are created with a Sepic-Cuk topology, built around a single [[http://www.analog.com/en/power-management/switching-regulators-integrated-fet-switches/adp1612/products/product.html|ADP1612]] Step-Up DC-to DC converter. Both Sepic and Cuk converters are connected to the same switching pin of the regulator. Only the positive Sepic output is regulated, while the negative output tracks the positive one. This is an accepted behavior, since similar load currents are expected on both positive and negative rails.  +
- +
-{{ :analog_discovery_2:ad2_31.png |Figure 30. ±5.5V internal analog supplies.}} +
-//{{anchor:figure_30:Figure 30. ±5.5V internal analog supplies.}}// +

-The output current in a Sepic is discontinuous which results in a higher output ripple. To lower this ripple an additional output filter is added to the positive rail.  +
- +

- +
-The main requirement for the 3.3V digital supply is the reverse current capability. When a user pin is overdriven the protection diode opens and back powers circuitry connected to this supply. If the back powered energy is higher than the used energy the regulator delivers it to its input, preventing the 3.3V from rising. +
- +
-The 1.8V digital power supply [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_33|(Fig. 33)]] is implemented with [[http://www.analog.com/en/power-management/switching-regulators-integrated-fet-switches/adp2138/products/product.html|ADP2138-1.8]] Fixed Output Voltage, 800mA, 3MHz, Step-Down DC-to-DC converter. This ensures a very small solution size due to the 3MHz switching frequency and the 1mm × 1.5 mm WLCSP package. +

-====== 7. USB Controller ====== 
- 
-The USB interface performs two tasks: 
-  * **Programming the FPGA:** There is no non-volatile FPGA configuration memory on the Analog Discovery. The WaveForms software identifies the connected device and downloads an appropriate .bit file at power-up, via a Digilent USB-JTAG interface. Adept run-time is used for low level protocols.  
-  * **Data exchange:** All instrument configuration data, acquired data and status information is handled via a Digilent synchronous parallel bus and USB interface. Speed up to 20MB/sec. is reached, depending on USB port type and load as well as PC performance. 
- 
- 
----- 
- 
- 
-====== 8. FPGA ====== 
- 
-The core of the Analog Discovery 2 is the Xilinx [[http://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/fpga/spartan-6/index.htm|Spartan-6]] FPGA circuit XC6SLX16-1L. The configured logic performs: 
- 
-  * Clock management (12 MHz and 60 MHz for USB communication, 100 MHz for data sampling) 
-  * Acquisition control and Data Storage (Scope and Logic Analyzer) 
-  * Analog Signal synthesis (look-up tables, AM/FM modulation for AWG) 
-  * Digital signal synthesis (for pattern generator) 
-  * Trigger system (trigger detection and distribution for all instruments ) 
-  * Power supplies control and instruments enabling 
-  * Power and temperature monitoring 
-  * Calibration memory control 
-  * Communication with the PC (settings, status data) 
- 
-Block and Distributed RAM of the FPGA are used for signal synthesis and acquisition. Multiple configuration files are available through the WaveForms software to allocate the RAM resources according to the application. 
- 
-Detail of the trigger system is shown in [[analog_discovery_2:refmanual#figure_35|Fig. 35]]. Each instrument generates a trigger signal when a trigger condition is met. Each trigger signal (including external triggers) can trigger any instrument and drive the external trigger outputs. This way, all the instruments can synchronize to each other.
