HadCon 2 Fpga Project 1 WADCold

Introduction

  • One-Wire ADC is an application implemented inside the FPGA of the HadCon2 board. It can provide 6 channel, max. 12bit ADC to be accessed by One-Wire protocol.
  • It is a compact design since it uses only the FPGA and an external Low pass filter. There is no need for additional ICs for the protocol and the ADCs.
  • 3 different version will be supported:
    • 8bit resolution at 1MSPS -tested
    • 10bit resolution at 1KSPS -under construction
    • 12bit resolution at 10SPS -under construction

Low-Pass Filter

Filter for 1MSPS

  • For the 1MSPS we use the 3rd order RLC filter to produce the ramp waveform from the PWM. The frequency of the ramp signal is 500KHz. In order to have a satisfactory ramp wave we must use at least the 5 first harmonics (11*500KHz = 5.5MHz). We choose the cutoff frequency at Fc=5.5MHz. From the following equations we calculate the R-L-C values as it is at the schematic.
    Fc = 1 / 2*π*sqrt(L*C)
    Fc = 1 / 2*π*R*C

FPGA Design

PLL component

  • The clock frequency of the Hadcon2 board is 10MHz. In order to have the maximum time resolution (2.5ns) for the the TDC we must use an internal PLL that can reach the frequensy of 400MHz. From the same PLL we can have a second frequency output at 200MHz that can be used for the PWM

PWM component

  • The PWM component is consisted of 2 different sub-components as you can see at the following picture. The “PWM_synchronisator” and the “PWM_waveform”.
    PWM component schematic

  • The first one produces signals that can synchronize the PWM waveform. Every time the duty cycle must be changed it produces a small pulse otherwise it remains at “Low”. In the same way, every time the duty cycle must be increased from 0% to 100% it remains at “High” and from 100% to 0% at “Low”.
    PWM waveform simulation

  • The main idea of this design is to produce the PWM waveform with the less FPGA usage. For this reason the waveform is produced only from a double 20bit shift register that it is shifted forward or backwards synchronously with the “DC_change” and “rise_fall_change” signals. The PWM waveform is produced in 24 steps of 10% duty cycle changes. The first 14 of them for increasing and the last 14 for decreasing duty cycle.
