RPL1116 (MSO1000Z) and PLA2216 (MSO5000) Active Logic Probe teardown

<< < (20/50) > >>

wulfman:
Oh yeah no way finished with it loads more to do   yes thermal vias etc...  but its going well.
I finished the routing but not the entire design. I was tired last night  :D

is the pinout for the 5000 series the same as for the earlier scopes ? if not the small board that plugs into
the scope would be the only thing different from this board to any scopes.

dren.dk:
No, the mso5k uses a 2x50 0.1" pitch header, the pinout can be seen on the first page of my schematic: https://gitlab.com/dren.dk/mso5k-la-pod

The deci-inch connector pretty much demands a converter board, IMHO.

wulfman:
Ok thats the pinout i used on my converter board. I like the 68 pin connectors they use on SCSI III drives as they are easy to get
and reasonable. you can use the flat internal or round external and the diff pairs use twisted pair in the cable.
I still want to use the diff pair equal length routing but setup is not easy since i have never done it before in Orcad.

Rerouter:
What might make things easier is you have control of the order of the channels. And you only have to length match input to output. Whether its trimmed on the single ended or differential you can match the skew.

wulfman:
Well diff routing was not hard. here is adapter board to 68 pin cable.
