John Lauer Videos: sentence-exact captions (VTT+SRT), no dead air; new 3D tour of the card and its component pages 045ee35 7d ago
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,354
Here is the finished card in Adom's 3D
viewer:

2
00:00:03,354 --> 00:00:07,656
seventy six by one hundred fifteen
millimeters, six layers,

3
00:00:07,656 --> 00:00:10,937
cut to the OCP 3.0 small form factor
outline.

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,952
Along the outer edge sit four Amphenol
OCuLink receptacles,

5
00:00:15,952 --> 00:00:18,046
one for each PCIe x4 port.

6
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:21,973
There was no Adom component page for this
connector, so Claude made one.

7
00:00:22,093 --> 00:00:23,217
We will look at it in a moment.

8
00:00:23,467 --> 00:00:25,260
Just behind the connectors,

9
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:29,977
a TI ESD array guards each port's reset
and clock lines against static.

10
00:00:30,233 --> 00:00:32,215
On the left edge is the control logic.

11
00:00:32,335 --> 00:00:36,624
The SN74LVC125 buffers each port's reset
line,

12
00:00:36,624 --> 00:00:42,497
and the TPS3808 tells the server when the
card's power is good.

13
00:00:42,733 --> 00:00:45,300
This shift register is the OCP scan chain,

14
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:49,090
which the server reads for the card's
present and status bits.

15
00:00:49,210 --> 00:00:54,690
Next to it, an EEPROM holds the card's
identity, the second new Adom component
page.

16
00:00:54,933 --> 00:00:57,419
At the other end are the gold fingers:

17
00:00:57,419 --> 00:01:01,475
one hundred sixty eight contacts that plug
into the AIOM slot.

18
00:01:01,733 --> 00:01:07,029
Underneath, the silkscreen names the card,
says to set the slot to 4x4 in the BIOS,

19
00:01:07,029 --> 00:01:08,879
and points back to this page.

20
00:01:09,133 --> 00:01:11,724
That is the whole card: passive, four
ports,

21
00:01:11,724 --> 00:01:14,491
and ready to order from the files on this
page.

22
00:01:14,733 --> 00:01:16,678
Now the two component pages Claude made.

23
00:01:16,798 --> 00:01:19,130
First, the Amphenol OCuLink receptacle,

24
00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:22,838
with its Mouser and DigiKey part numbers
so it can be ordered.

25
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:26,974
Its 3D model is a simplified body built
from Amphenol's drawing,

26
00:01:26,974 --> 00:01:30,183
because the real model sits behind an
Amphenol login.

27
00:01:30,433 --> 00:01:34,496
The page carries the full pinout from the
SFF-9402 spec:

28
00:01:34,496 --> 00:01:39,357
the transmit and receive pairs, the
reference clock, and the reset.

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,568
And a KiCad symbol and footprint drawn
from Amphenol's land pattern,

30
00:01:43,568 --> 00:01:45,318
ready for anyone's next board.

31
00:01:45,567 --> 00:01:48,676
A provenance section lists where every
file came from,

32
00:01:48,676 --> 00:01:51,267
and says plainly which parts were made by
AI.

33
00:01:51,533 --> 00:01:57,089
Second, the ROHM 64 kbit EEPROM that
stores the card's identity for the server.

34
00:01:57,333 --> 00:02:03,321
A standard SOP-8 package, with a generic
body from KiCad's 3D library.

35
00:02:03,567 --> 00:02:06,034
Every pin is listed from ROHM's datasheet,

36
00:02:06,034 --> 00:02:08,912
including the address pins and the write
protect.

37
00:02:09,167 --> 00:02:10,735
Plus its symbol and footprint.

38
00:02:10,855 --> 00:02:15,065
Both pages are public, so the next design
that needs these parts can just use them.
