Subject: [Xylo-SDR] ATLAS Decisions to be made

 

 

Based on the interchanges over the past couple days it seems that a several basic ATLAS candidates have arisen:

 

 

2 layer

No LVDS on PCB

 

Arguments for:  less expensive to fab

                        LVDS can be distributed with twisted pair cables

                        Fewer or no termination issues

 

 

4-layer

4 LVDS lanes on board

 

Arguments for: LVDS lanes make it more general purpose for future applications

 

 

 

4 slot

 

Arguments for: Fits in 4 slot Aria case

 

6 slot

 

Arguments for: We?ll probably need more than 4 slots eventually

                        More general purpose appeal for other applications

                        Don?t need buss extender boards

 

There are probably other arguments for each case which I haven?t captured.

 

So it seems we need to come to concensus on which fork to take.

From my perspective I?m thinking the 2 layer 6 slot variant makes the most sense to me.

 

Let the comments/suggestions/arguments flow?..
