High Speed Precision Timer 55ps/4ns
PrecisionTimer RevG-1 is an open-source printed circuit board by SepticElectronics, from the SepticElectronics/High-Speed-Timer repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 4-layer board of 84.3 × 50.8 mm with 128 parts on 163 nets, routed with 1,163 tracks and 364 vias.
It is built around the LCMXO2-256HC-6SG32C, MIC23050-4YML-TR and MIC23050-SYML-TR, with the TS30012-M050QFNR, VNC2-32Q1C-REEL and MIC2095-2YMT-TR among its other parts. Its parts include 43 capacitors, 15 resistors, 10 ICs, 9 connectors and 5 crystals. It belongs with the fPGA and programmable logic boards and the SAM D and SAM and FPGA and CPLD boards of this library.
A simple digital timer based on the TDC7200 for high-precision, short burst time measurement with a resolution of up to 55 ps. Long interval, low precision time measurement is done using a 125 MHz oscillator and a DDR-type clocked synchronous counter, implemented in a MachXO2 FPGA with a theoretical resolution of 4 ns. The data collection and interfacing is handled by an ATSAM4S Microcontroller. Two USB 2.0 and a MicroSD Interface are available for data collection.
If connected to a PC via USB-B the device is fully USB-Bus-powered. In the case of only using a microSD-Card or a USB thumb drive, the device must be powered from a 6-24 V Barrel Connector (5.5 x 2.1 mm or 5.5 x 2.5 mm, Center Positive).
A MIPI10 JTAG programming header is available and can be used for reprogramming the FPGA or for a boundary scan of both the FPGA and the MCU. A 4-Pin (2.54 mm) UART connector is provided for reprogramming the MCU. Three SMA connectors are used with 3.3 V LVCMOS signal-level for triggering and resetting the measurements.
The PCB is designed to fit inside the Thorlabs EEB3311 housing.
This project started out as a Product Design / Layout challenge for myself and is still in a very early WIP-stage. Any (constructive) input is very much appreciated. Please note that all of the mentioned features are purely implemented on a PCB / Schematic level. No software, except for the FPGA configuration, has been written yet.
