1.1:
- CAL_EN: loose net label, I'll remove it.
- OUT_ENA: 100 n CAP + LED diode impedance is enough.
- TERM_ENABLE: you're right, I'll add a pulldown.
- TDC_ADRx: the TDC is held in reset before initialization of MCP23S17
1.2. REFIN is single-ended (check AD9516 datasheet)
1.3.
BAR66 is an RF diode, it should be fast enough, although I'm going to
check the voltage levels asap.
I don't believe that one loose pin driven at 2MHz will form an antenna,
but - if we keep the diode, we
can connect the other pin to GND.
As for the parallel resistor - I checked it but didn't notice any
difference in SW node waveforms. Anyway,
one extra resistor costs us nothing so I'll add it.
1.4. Why not...
1.5. Look at SW1, F1, D4 in drv_single_channel.SchDoc. IC25 is not
directly connected to the output of
the card.
2.1. To be verified with DEM
2.2. Good point, I'll get rid of it.
2.3. I wanted to expose as much of this plane as possible to increase
the heat exchange surface. I'll make sure the components are separated
from the bare plane with solder mask.
3.3 -> DEM
