====== Differences between CoBo 1.0v and CoBo 0.2v ====== * Rocket IO GTX Transceiver improvements * Bank 12 is no longer used. All (3V3) signals on that bank have been moved to bank 20 * Now banks 12, 15, and 22 are not used * Re-routed signals away from MGT VCC/GND * Improved board power and power management * VCCINT, VCC3V3, and VCC5V0 no longer require a 350Khz resonator. i.e. Sync is disabled * VCCINT now uses a 10A switching regulator instead of a 16A * Input capacitance now conforms with MicroTCA requirement. i.e. it doesn't exceed 800uF * (C113) and (C122) are now 220uF instead of 330uF * Improved Power up sequence * No longer uses an additional (U35) chip (TPS3808G09DBVR) * Power-up sequence used to be VCCINT -> VCC3V3 & VCC5V0. Now it is VCC5V0 -> VCC3V3 -> VCCINT * This reduces a race condition when BPI booting from flash * DDR2 memory is powered up after VCC5V0 turns on * VCC3V3 Auto Track pin is connected to VCC5V0. VCCINT Auto Track pin is connected to VCC3V3 * Mutant WSCA/SYNC signal is now on a CC pin * Footprint updates * (U36), (U38), and (U39) Switching regulators have updated hole sizes for better fitting * (SW2) HDT001 switch layout fixes * Changed Clocking (see [[cobo_clocking|CoBo Clocking]]) * CKRs traces from PLL to LVDS buffer and from LVDS buffer to VHDCI connector are now equal * CKWs traces from PLL to LVDS buffer and from LVDS buffer to VHDCI connector are now equal * On LMK04800 (U41) CLKin1 no longer uses MCH clock as an input. A dedicated oscillator is now used (X9) * re-arranged outputs on LMK04800 (U41) * Consistent labeling and naming scheme on Front panel * Move usb-uart (J3) foward i.e. closer to front panel * USB-UART (U60) is power thru USB * Add 0 ohm resistors between MAX3378EEUD+ and FPGA (LEMO) * Radianheatsinks [[http://www.radianheatsinks.com/Products/INH35001-18/2.6_493.aspx|INH35001-18/2.6K29+T710]] is now used for Virtex-5
