PRL-SWBOB, Micro D9/Spacewire Breakout Board
Applications: Differential Probing of Spacewire Signals Single-ended Probing of Spacewire Signals Spacewire System Verification Signal Injection for Test Features: Micro-D9 Plug and Micro-D9 Receptacle Connectors, Nickel-plated Probe points on 0.1” Centers Jackscrews for securing to panel. Use a 1/16" ball-head hex driver. Description The PRL-SWBOB is a passive, pass-through, signal breakout board for 4 differential 100 Ω signal pairs on Micro-D9 cabling, the configuration typically used in Spacewire applications: Each PCB assembly consists of a Micro-D9 receptacle and a Micro-D9 plug, connected via a printed circuit board with matched-length, controlled impedance traces, and probe points available between differential signal pins and between signal pins and ground: The PCB traces have controlled impedance of 50 Ω, designed for carrying LVDS (or other differential signaling) to/from 100 Ω twisted pairs. Traces on the PCBs are routed with inter-pair lengths matched to
