allaki: DAC_Filter block #108
Comments
For small numbers of PCBs/prototyping, hand-soldering 0402 components is absolutely fine. FWIW, we'll need a few other configurations on top of the one you've listed there (e.g. 200MHz for AOMs). |
@jbqubit The filter you describe would not work for my application. Before we had talked about a 3rd order Butterworth low pass with 300 MHz corner. That has not changed. |
If we take the non-MiniCircuits route @sbouhabib will design, say, two filter variations. I've updated allaki_dac_filter_A as @jmizrahi requested. @hartytp tweaks to allaki_dac_filter_B? |
Why cannot we use both versions at the time?
On can use Minicircuit filter pads as 0402 component pads and build discrete filter on the side of Minicircuit one.

If there's room for it and it doesn't degrade performance that's fine by
me.

In general both approaches are in the schematics and PCB |
@sbouhabib Thanks for doing this. We will most likely choose to go for a discreet filter, with specifications still tbd. For the prototype round, we'd like our hardware to be shipped without filters (i.e. components DNP/0R as appropriate to provide a direct RF pass through). We'll design our filters ourselves later, after giving it a bit more thought. IMO, since this filter is specific to our work, it shouldn't be on the schematic (we'll post them on the Wiki if others are interested). I assume the same is true for NIST/filter_C? To aid us in filter design, it'd be great if you could provide an AWR or similar project, which is setup with relevant board/component parasitics (choose a sensible series of LC components). |
the discrete filter schematics has no values just 0R or DNPs i.e. if it is done according to the standard BOM then it is a just a feed through with no filtering. ill prep the general AWR project

Great, thanks. |
Uploaded "theoretical" reference design, for substituting with ones own components, We could prepare one which also incorporates the PCB but maybe after the prototype is checked. |
FL2, FL3, FL4 (on DAC_Filter.SchDoc) are intended to be band defining for different end user applications. Outside of these filters the design bandwidth for Allaki is 10 MHz to 3.5 GHz.
Two Approaches
This schematic element was discussed in today's call. Two approaches
Pro: this is a commercial item that's easy to source and install by end users.
Filter Requests
Here's my stab at filter specifications based on today's conversation.
