4. BOARDS HANDLED
BOARD 1:
Title : cPCI based Analog Output & Digital Input Output board
Client : HAL, Korwa, U.P
Device used : 32 bit PLX Controller (PCI 9054), DAC7744, PPI (82C55), FPGA &
EEPROM
Tools used : ORCAD, Pspice Simulator, Pads Power PCB
Organization : Avitronics Systemtech (India) Pvt. Ltd.,
BOARD DESCRIPTION:
Analog output board is a cPCI based board, which generates 24 channels of analog
signals with the resolution of μVolts by using 16bit Quad voltage output Digital to analog
converter. Each DAC can generate four channels of analog signals. All the control signals for
the DAC are given by the FPGA. Output voltage of each channel can be controlled by
programming the 16bit parallel input data.
Digital input and output board is a CPCI based one, which is used to generate all the
discrete signals required by the LRU’s of SSFDR. This board can generate 192 channels of TTL
signals by using PPI (82C55). 8 numbers of PPI’s are present in this board and each can
generate 24 channels of TTL signals. Each PPI has one 8bit programmable input port and three
8bit output port (24 programmable I/O pins). All the control signals for the PPI are generated by
the FPGA present in the same board.
ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES:
A. Schematic design.
B. Involved in preparation of the hardware related documents like BOM, Net list,
Hardware requirement specification & Hardware Design Document.
