2. SPP Fields DFB DFB Science: Finalized Sensor inputs; gain states, band-pass (except SCM – in process) Defined: Coordinated Burst implementation, Digital Burst Memory (size & no of buffers and channels), Spectra and Cross-Spectra DFB Prototype: Prototype design complete, layout review Tues 7/16, quick turn fab planned All FPGA modules for prototype bring-up complete Board will be used for most of early development and then for testing/characterization of Sidecar ASICs after moving to ETU board DFB ETU: Schematic in process for Xilinx FPGA Daughter Card FPGA development status shown in separate slides DFB Flight: Received Sidecar ASICs; EIDP/workmanship deviation released this week, risk added Continued EEE parts submittal to PCB for approval, no known issues at this time SPP Quarterly Review 7/18/13

Risk mitigation plan is to perform characterization and environmental testing on Sidecars. These parts have prior electrical burn-in testing hence characterization and environmental tests will demonstrate good rigor to retire the risk. Risk rating: Probability 2, Impact 3; not likely to occur based on successful burn-in testing completed by vendor [GSFC/Teledyne]; consequences slightly higher based on possibility of reverting to backup plan of discrete ADCs. Proposed/heritage ADCs are not as rad-tolerant, require more board space (mass increases), more power, and/or could drive science return. Newer, more viable, ADCs identified but require radiation testing. DFB Sidecar Risk
