Mini cluster of synchronized Red Pitayas

Post by jeanminet » Sun Oct 09, 2016 6:30 pm

Hello,

Below is a picture of a cluster of 4 Red Pitayas synchronized via the SATA connectors.

On each Red Pitaya, one can select by software one of 3 clock sources:
- 125 MHz crystal
- 10 MHz clock on SATA IN
- 10 MHz clock on DOI1P

A 10 MHz clock is also output on the SATA OUT connector.
The 4 Red Pitaya are connected to each other using 4 SATA cables in a ring configuration.

The cluster clock is provided by a waveform generator on the DIO1P pin of the 3rd Red Pitaya (from top).
Each Red Pitaya outputs a 40 MHz sine signal from a DDS block that can be monitored on a scope trigged with the SYNC output of the function generator.

Image

The 4 sines have exactly the same frequency but their relative phase is somewhat random.
One could use the differential pair left on each SATA connector to transmit some trigger between the Red Pitayas.

Best,
Jean

Hello,

Is the FPGA code of your project publically available for reference?
That could be a helpful example for a project I'm currently working on.

Best regards, Peter.

Hello Peter,

Sorry for the delay.
I've just published a blog post (and the source code) about this:
