[USRP-users] N320 1PPS input voltage

2021-06-11 Thread Jim Palladino
Hello, We are planning on using an octoclock with several devices, including an N320. The octoclock outputs a 5V 1pps signal, but I'm confused about the N320 1pps input. According to (https://kb.ettus.com/N320/N321): "PPS - Pulse Per Second Using a PPS signal for timestamp synchronization requ

Hello Jim, hm, that knowledge base article must be wrong: The octoclock internally only has a 3.3V supply. But before I say something wrong here, let me check back. Best regards, Marcus On 11.06.21 14:17, Jim Palladino wrote: > Hello, > > We are planning on using an octoclock with several

Hi Marcus, Right -- the output of the Octoclock is 5V. I'm not seeing how the N320 can accept that as an input. The knowledge base article says the N320 expects 5Vpp at the 1pps input. But the schematics/parts data sheet for the input buffer don't seem to support that . . . unless I'm missing s

Ah wait, you're right! I overlooked U120. I was actually also confused by C200…C207, which happen to be on VCC3V3 and would in numbers make sense to decouple the two 7404s, U204 and U203. Sorry! On 11.06.21 15:39, Marcus D. Leech wrote: > On 06/11/2021 09:11 AM, Marcus Müller wrote: >> Hello Ji

The schematic shows 33 Ohm series resistors on the logic-outputs. That's probably dimensioned to get about 50 Ohm output impedance. Last I tried an octoclock, driving a 50 Ohm load gives about a 2.5 V amplitude pulse. This is from 2016-09, but maybe the schematic hasn't changed since that. [image:

Hi Jim, The congregation of Marcuses checked with R&D, and we figured out that in fact, the NC7SV157 in U24 was replaced by a SN74LVC2G34, which is OK up to 6.5 V input, in Hardware revisions starting with Rev C. So, if (and only if) you have a N320 in a revision that's C or greater, you're sa
