-= Review feedback of the Alpha schematics =

-

-== Power subsystem ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||The LTS3060ITS8 is a 8-lead device but the symbol shows only 6 (there are 3 GND leads). || \

-||Kent || \

-||ft to correct mapping of pins between symbol and package || \

-||Done ||

-||The output capacitor C13 can have higher capacitance. The 2.2 uF is the lowest recommended value and since this is a X7R/25V type it may well fall below that. I recommend 4.7uF to add some margin. C7 may also be changed to 4.7uF. || \

-||Kent || \

-||Updated schematics || \

-||Done ||

-||LMZ13608 has 11 pins plus an exposed pad (must be connected to pin 5) but only 9 pins are shown in the schematic symbol. || \

-||Kent || \

-||Will change symbol to show both name and pin number(s) || \

-||Done ||

-||The output voltage for LMZ13608 is calculated as 0.795 V * (1 + R8/R9) which is 4.93 V. It is a bit low for a 5.0 V supply. || \

-||Kent || \

-||5 volts not used, just an intermediate voltage. No change required. || \

-||Done ||

-||I don't see any SH pin in the datasheet for the LMZ13608 device. Is it the one called NC? || \

-||Kent || \

-||ft check symbol, then ask Pavel to review || \

-||ft done, pavel ||

-||What form factor and main power supply should we use for the Alpha? || \

-||ft || \

-||Try to find drawing with dimensions for NUC computers, to see if we can use that form factor and power supplies || \

-||Pavel ||

-

-

-== Entropy source ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||Add optocoupler as per Jacob's suggestion on tech@ 2015-07-24? The suggestion is to add a fast optocoupler to really isolate AGND from GND. || \

-||Jacob W || \

-|| As this appears to require a bigger digitizer, which in turn might require another 3V3 regulator, we don't want to add that to this otherwise quite well tested part of the circuitry for the Alpha. || \

-||Done ||

-

-

-== STM32 ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||The JTAG port is not connected. For debug puposes, it could be good to have access to the JTAG port, at least at the prototype board. || \

-||Kent || \

-||We don't know of a reason to add the full JTAG, when we have SWD. At least not if we keep the LQFP package because then we don't think we need to be able to do boundary scan. || \

-||Done ||

-||The capacitors C22-C25 are connected between VCAP1/2 and VCCO_3V3. According to the datasheet as well as AN4488 they shall be connected to GND. It should be enough with one 2.2uF capacitor for each pin. || \

-||Kent || \

-||Yes, change to GND instead of 3V3. Our interpretation is that we actually should have 2x2.2 for both VCAP1 and VCAP2. We also prefer 2x2.2 over  1x4.7 so not changing that.|| \

-||Done ||

-

-

-== 2x512 Mbit SDRAM for the ARM ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||U6 has no speed grade specified. TSOP-II package is selected. The BGA package is much smaller and easier to handle in production. || \

-||Kent || \

-||We will investigate packages and speed || \

-||Pavel ||

-

-

-== Keystore memory, 128 Mbit ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||Hard to see which resistor is R17 and R18. What is R17 (the left one) intended for? || \

-||Kent || \

-||Fixed the resistors. CS should be connected to ARM, default is "not enabled" through pull-up. || \

-||Done ||

-

-

-== RTC ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||From where is 3V3_BATT supplied? Is it an external power source from connector JP3? Or the JP4 jumper? || \

-||Kent || \

-||Yes, external power source connected to JP4. || \

-||Done ||

-||Do we need a separate RTC chip at all? || \

-||Jacob W || \

-||Keeping it for the Alpha since it is already there. || \

-||Done ||

-

-

-== Micro SD card ==

-

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||Which connector to use? Haven't found a good one with Eagle symbol. Some different kinds available. || \

-||ft || \

-||Remove SD card. || \

-||Done ||

-||Novena seems to have card reset capability (power control from MCU). Do we want the same? || \

-||ft || \

-||Remove SD card. || \

-||Done ||

-||Novena has two SD slots, and list power at 200mA. Do we need a separate power regulator for the SD card, or can we use VCCO_3V3? || \

-||ft || \

-||Remove SD card. || \

-||Done ||

-

-== 2x USB UARTs for management and application access ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||Should we add an EEPROM for FTDI USB related settings or not? || \

-||ft || \

-||Not adding anything not strictly necessary to the schematics. || \

-||Done ||

-||LED6 is the same type as LED1 at page 4 but they have different values at their resistors (220/330 ohm). || \

-||Kent || \

-||Went with 330 for consistency. || \

-||Done ||

-||The recommended protection devices on D+ and D- are missing. || \

-||Kent || \

-||Pavel to look for reference || \

-||pavel ||

-||Hard to see what reference designators that belong to which component in some places. || \

-||Kent || \

-||Fredrik will improve clarity || \

-||Done ||

-

-

-== AVR Tiny Tamper Detect MCU ==

-Fredrik to verify if Kent had comments about AVR

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-|| || \

-|| || \

-|| ||

-

-

-== Analog switch controlling access to the MKM ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||Suggest changing this chip to an 74AC244 like the one used for the FPGA config memory. || \

-||Pavel || \

-||Will change. || \

-||Done ||

-

-

-== FPGA configuration ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||The mode signals are fixed to SPI Master mode. If more flexibility is needed, see next comment, jumpers may be added.|| \

-||Kent || \

-||This is intentional. || \

-||Done ||

-||One-bit data us for the configuration memory makes the configuration rather slow. If higher speed is preferable the SPI memory supports 4-bit data. || \

-||Kent || \

-||Bitstream is around 65 MBit, takes 4-5 seconds to load using single bit (@ 15MHz). We think that should be good enough. || \

-||Done ||

-

-

-== FPGA I/O ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||A lot of the FPGA I/Os are unused. For debug purposes some of these can be made available by connecting them to a pin header. Unconnected BGA balls are very hard to use. || \

-||Kent || \

-||Added two more GPIOs from AVR to FPGA and two more from AVR to ARM. Remaining question is how many we should add from FPGA to ARM. || \

-||Pavel ||

-||A zero ohm resistor at the oscillator output can simplify debug. || \

-||Kent || \

-||Fredrik will add zero ohm resistor || \

-||Done ||

-||Joachim suggests, that we may want to have some high-speed extension interface for debugging and dumping large amounts of data. For example, we can implement GMII or RGMII using external GbE PHY and GPIO header(s). In that sense, at least one of the GPIO header pins should be connected to clock-capable (MRCC) FPGA pin. || \

-||Pavel || \

-||Pavel will finalize notes in schematics to enable this. || \

-||pavel ||

-

-

-== FPGA voltage regulators ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||U14 and U15 have 38 pins but only 11 are visible in the schematic symbol. No pin numbers are visible. The NC pins must not be connected which should be shown.|| \

-||Kent || \

-||Fredrik will update symbol to show pins. || \

-||Done ||

-||I am not familiar with the EN6347Q device so I would add ferrite cores on the outputs, for debug and measurement. Maybe that's what the zero ohm resistors are intended for? || \

-||Kent || \

-||Will change 0-ohm to ferrites. Pavel will look up part number, Fredrik will update schematics. || \

-||pavel, ft||

-

-

-== FPGA power regulators ==

-||=Comment =||=Who =||=Resolution =||=Status =||

-||The EN5364 device has 68 pins and 2 exposed pads but the symbol only shows 19 pins, without pin number.|| \

-||Kent || \

-||Fredrik will update symbol to show pins || \

-||Done ||

-=== Additional comments from Kent ===

-I have reviewed the schematic drawings for 'Cryptech Alpha board', rev 02 

-(12/28/15), together with the block diagram, rev 0.010 (2015-05-27). I 

-have spent 8 hours on this review.

-

-

-==== General ====

-

-The block diagram does not comply with the schematics:

-

-||Analog switch replaced by line driver (IC2) || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||There is no reset block to the Tamper Detect CPU (U10) in the schematics || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||I can't find any Reset_n signal to the FPGA (U13) nor any FPGA reset block (maybe it is supposed to indicate the FPGA configuration?). || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||Interfaces for Smart Card and display/control seems to be missing in the schematics JTAG port for the ARM (U4) is not present in the schematics || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||JTAG port for the Tamper Detect CPU (U10) is not present in the schematics || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||Master Key Memory (U12) type is different (23A640 vs 23K640) || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||Power supply voltages does not comply with the schematics || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||The battery near the RTC on the block diagram is not present in the schematics || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||Minor differences in component names (suggestion: remove details from block diagram) || \

-

-||The header information should be updated with design name/ID and author. || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||Some components in the schematic (U1, U2, U14, U15, Q3) doesn't show pin numbers which make it harder to review || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||The sheets seems to have different sizes (1-13 differs from 14-26) and origo is placed in different positions in different pages. Not important but looks a bit odd. || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||Eagle doesn't seem to have a symbol for unconnected pins. If nothing else, a comment would be good so it is obvious that the pin shall be unconnected and is not forgotten. || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||On prototype boards it can sometimes be beneficial to insert zero ohm resistances on certain nets, typical clock and reset signals, to simplify debug. Typical places can be voltage regulator outputs and signals that are buried in the PCB. || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-||The selected package for the CPU (U4) is LQFP208. The size is 30x30 mm compared to the TFBGA216 package that is only 13x13 mm. Also, the pitch is 0.5 mm for the LQFP208 while the TFBGA216 package has a ball pitch of 0.8 mm. || \

-||Kent || \

-||Joachim and ft thinks LQFP package makes sense for the Alpha - gives 208 "test points" and physical size not that important ||

-||For debug purposes it is recommended to place test points for signals that are hard to reach, to simplify measurement. || \

-||Kent || \

-|| ||

-

-

-==== Not Reviewed ====

-

-A one day review doesn't allow a thorough design review. Some 

-prioritizations are necessary. I have not reviewed:

-

-|| FPGA pinout. The FPGA vendor tool (Vivado) does some of the checks. It checks that clock signals are placed at clock pins, that selected I/O types are compatible with the bank structure. Vivado can also check that not to much I/O switching power per bank is used and can also calculate power consumption (with correct user input). ||

-||Power calculations. The FPGA power is heavily dependent on how it is used. This can be estimated with the Vivado tool. ||

-||Supply voltage quality. This requires simulations that are out of scope for this review. ||

-||Power sequencing. ||

-||Physical properties like PCB symbols, layout issues, thermal design and board area use. ||

-||Production test or optimization for production. ||
