TSBKPCI

Q1: How is Analog_GND separated from Digital_GND?
AGND and DGND are the same on the EVM. So far we have not had any reported problems due to ground problems.

Q2: Does the EVM support Isolation?
No. This board does not support Isolation. Board schematic includes Isolation Caps but they are not installed on the board. Please refer to the bottom of each schematic to find out exactly which components are installed on the board.

TSBKPCITST

Q1: How is Analog_GND separated from Digital_GND?
AGND and DGND are the same on the EVM. So far we have not had any reported problems due to ground problems.

Q2: Does the EVM support Isolation?
No. This board does not support Isolation. Board schematic includes Isolation Caps but they are not installed on the board. Please refer to the bottom of each schematic to find out exactly which components are installed on the board.

Q3: What are the differences between the TSBKPCI and TSBKPCITST?
Both boards are similar in that the both utilize the PCILynx/TSB12LV21A and the TSB21LV03. However, the TSBKPCITST has the following features that are not included on the TSBKPCI.
  • Zoom Video (ZV) connector headers
  • Local SRAM on board
  • Test Connectors
  • Room for additional cicuitry
