Power from the DC/DC Boards is routed via the frontplane and the backplane to DC/DC converters located on the interface module and the relay module.
After the DC/DC power units are powered up, the control board releases the n_power_ok signal. This starts the part of the interface state machine that powers up the DC/DC converters in the following defined order:
a) 1.8V Test processor digital and analog
b) 2.5V RDRAM power
c) 1.8V RDRAM termination
d) 3.3V Test processor I/O
In case of a DC/DC board failure, there are over current, over voltage and over temperature sensors to protect the HW. If a failure is reported to the interface state machine, the DC/DC converters are powered down in the reverse order. An alarm is reported to the power control board, which starts an emergency shutdown of the whole system. Use the Low Level Diagnostic Tests DPCI and DPCE to troubleshoot.
There are 5 LEDs for monitoring the power and interface status. See I/F module slides for details.
The Board ADC is powered by the clock board.

Each HXA card has two differential (or 4 single ended) drive and two differential (or 4 single ended) receive channels.
It also provides the following features:
• Synchronisation to the DUT data or DUT clock timing
• Jitter injection from an on board generator or external source
• Common mode measurements and injection
• Accessible Loopback paths with or without signal conditioning
• Normal DC measurements.

45. Installation Requirements
PinScale 3600 and HXA are compatible and can use the same DC-DC resource
HXA assemblies require power to be supplied by p/n E8001-6x514 DC/DC assemblies ( - 6x515 or -6x513 P/N DC/DC’s are NOT to be used for HXA)
Autotransformer E8005A may be required if filling scheme exceeds 42 digital cards of any type i.e >36kVA. Note this may also require change to primary voltage requirements for site [Reference Pre-Site Manual]

Although the HXA card contains two fully differential drive and receive channels, for simplicity, the figure below shows only a single drive and receive channel.
A drive/receive unit is termed a Channel Pair Assembly (CPA) i.e. each HXA card is made up of two CPAs. This figure shows only one CPA.
This figure illustrates the principle of the re-timing of either 2 or 4 Pin Scale 3600 channels (per CPA) to achieve the final data rates you require.
Pin Scale support for each HXA card:
• For a data rate of 7.2 Gbit/s you need 4 Pin Scale 3600 channels (2 drive, 2 receive).
• For a data rate of 12.8 Gbit/s you need 8 Pin Scale 3600 channels (4 drive, 4 receive)
• Further 6 Pin Scale 3600 channels (4 reference clock, 2 drive enable) are needed for the timing and drive enable function.
As each Pin Scale 3600 board has 32 single ended channels that can be configured as drive or receive, these needs can be covered by one Pin Scale board.

Note: In a Standard configuration, Analog board section only requires the minimum information as shown above. Default PS3600 boards outputs are assumed by software.
Custom configuration require more in depth data be added in the Board Conf Section to indicate which PS3600 boards are to be assigned to which HXA’s. (see next slide)

If this where a standard configuration, information under group 6 would be listed under the analog section and no more info required.

High Speed pogo block (n-1) S1 S2
The fourth digit specifies the Channel Pair Assembly (module) number of the HXA board (1= lane 1, 2=lane 2)
The first three digits specify the logical board address for the HXA board you are defining (lowest S2 pogo block number corresponding to the HXA board slot).
Explanation of the abbreviations
HXA defines a High Speed Expansion card muxd represents the Pin Scale channels LD1[0] to LD1[3] and LD2[0] to LD2[3] clkd is REFCLK1 and REFCLK3 termd is DRVEN1 and DRVEN2 muxr represents the Pin Scale channels LR1[0] to LR1[3] and LR2[0] to LR2[3] clkr is REFCLK2 and REFCLK4
Because there are only 16 Pin Scale channels per pogo block, you can see from the above example that the first 16 Pin Scale channels use the pogo block 103 and the subsequent Pin Scale channels (termd, muxr, clkr) use the next (Pin Scale) pogo block, which is block 104.

17 - PinScale Cards

53. Diagnostic and Calibration Prerequsites
IMPORTANT:
All associated PinScale 3600 hardware MUST be passing Diagnostics BEFORE the HEXT test is run.
If not, repair the PS3600 hardware first!
In addition to selecting any HXA boards that you wish to test; You MUST also select ALL associated PinScale 3600 boards.
To be safe: Select ALL PS3600 boards in cardcages where you have ANY HXA boards selected.
Diagnostic – HEXT test
Calibration –
Calibration of the HXA is included when
full system calibration is performed
E7996C
Standard Configuration P/N E
NOTE: Custom configurations require a custom Diag/Cal board
NOTE: Associated PS3600 H/W must be passing all diagnostic tests. (If not, repair the PS3600 H/W 1st)
17 - PinScale Cards

54. Trouble Shooting Possible causes for HXA diagnostic failures:
Bad Pogo Block on PS or HXA
Bad HXA board
Bad Pin Scale board
Defective HXA diagnostic / calibration board
Troubleshooting Recommendations:
Repeat diagnostic tests to verify if solid
Visual inspection of pogo blocks i.e. HXA and associated Pin Scale channels
Swap of HXA with known good position
Swap of Pin Scale board
Digital Diagnostics (FRU repair level)
HXA Diagnostics (Whole board replacement)
Note: Experience has shown that reseating HXA boards can clear up some failures

Channel assignment is printed on metal cover
Each logical board is connected to one pogo block.
DPS32 and VI32 require the Universal DC/DC.
The positions of the individual channel modules are printed on the metal cover of the digital card.
Note that the card is divided into two logical boards, where each supports one pogo block with 16 channels.
Logical board 1 will always be an odd channel board. (i.e , …)
Logical board 2 will always be an even channel board. (i.e. 102, 104, …)
