Hi Andrey,

PCB copper is ready yet. We will lose 560 Euros and 3 weeks delay if we change the copper. It is not impossible, we can decide to do that but I would suggest we change the PCB for the next batch. After testing the v2 board, you may found more changes we need on the copper.

The board itself is not ready. We can change some passives. This will not cost anything (or almost) and extra delay will be just one or two days at most.

Please let me know what you want to do about the PCB.

Please let me know the exact passives modifications. I will purchase the components asap and send the modifications list to the fab.

Best regards.

Jean-Samuel.

Hi Jean-Samuel.

Please let me know fabrication progress, a specially PCB.
I ask you because of few changes required to improve LMS phase noises.
BOM required changes in passive components only.
If PCB doesn't yet ordered, then possible I'll make changes too.

Best regards,
Andrey Sviyazov.

Hi Andrey,

Thank you very much for your help.

I will forward this to the fab.
Yes, you are all right, the FBMH2012HM121-T price is much better than the MLB-201209-0120PU. However, availability on Farnell France is not as good as the MLB-201209-0120PU. Price difference is quite big but we only use 5 beads per boards. Difference makes only about 1 euro per board. I will let the fab decide between these 2 references.

Best regards.

Hi Jean-Samuel.

Yes, you are all right and you can order TDK - MPZ1608S601A instead of MLB-160808-0600PL.
And also possible to use 3 times cheaper FBMH2012HM121-T, 0805, 2.5A instead of MLB-201209-0120PU.

Best regards,
Andrey Sviyazov.

Hi Andrey,

Thank you very much for your reply.
Now, I better understand.

You are all right. I do not have anything as high current as MLB-201209-0120PU at a lower price.

However, I have a 0603 600 ohm 1A bead, as MLB-160808-0600PL, at a much lower price.

What do you think about this component (TDK MPZ1608S601A)?

Best regards.

Hi Jean-Samuel.

If Farnell better for you, then please order exactly MLB-201209-0120PU  and  MLB-160808-0600PL.
They are HI_CURRENT beads and it is really required.

Please find attached here new SCH and BOM files with new part numbers and links.

Best regards,

Hi Andrey,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Could you please confirm the components bellow are fine ?
http://fr.farnell.com/murata/blm18tg601tn1d/ferrite-600ohm/dp/1115050RL
http://fr.farnell.com/tdk/mmz2012121b/perle-de-ferrite-0805-120-ohm/dp/1669728RL

Please let me know if this is fine.
If not, which would you suggest ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards.

Hi Jean-Samuel.

For the TI160808U601 and TI201209U121 you can use any high current ferrite chip bead with 600 Ohm and 120 Ohm impedance respectively.
For example you could order similar partnumbers from the ELFA catalogue in the 0603 and 0805 SMD cases respectively, datasheet here pdf.
 
Best regards,

Hi Andrey,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I try to find where to buy the TI160808U601 and TI201209-121 chokes. I do not know where I should find these. Would you know where I should order these components ?

By the way, do you confirm the ISSI SRAM is pin compatible with the Cypress chip ?
http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/IS61NLP51236-200TQLI/706-1103-ND/1557418

Is this ISSI chip fine for our application ? Is 18 MBit enough ?
Do you confirm this ISSI chip is the best value for what we need ? Are you sure we cannot find a lower cost chip with similar performances and/or a better performances chip with similar cost ?
Are you sure we will not need to reroute the PCB ?

We really need to be sure before starting the PCB production. If both you and Alexander confirm everything is fine, I will ask the fab to start the PCB.

Please let me know.

Again, thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards.

Jean-Samuel.

Please inform me what actually rf chockes partnumbers are problem to order.
Unfortunately MuRata produce few billion pcs and then stopped for a few years.
So, possible we have to find some Chinese fab partnumbers to order.
