SYZYGY Ports

The XEM7320 provides 2x SYZYGY Standard ports and 1x SYZYGY Transceiver (TXR, not TXR4) port to connect to a variety of SYZYGY peripherals.

Port Power

WARNING: “Device Settings Only” mode not recommended

The use of “Device Settings Only” mode is not recommended and may cause permanent damage to the XEM7320 or peripherals. This mode bypasses the SYZYGY SmartVIO power negotiation stage.

Software controlled dc-dc regulators power the three SYZYGY SmartVIO groups as assigned above. The behavior of these power supplies is determined by the XEM7320_SMARTVIO_MODE parameter in Device Settings and associated settings. The modes function as described below.

Note that, for modes that require a SmartVIO solution, if any peripheral provides non-compliant DNA, a SmartVIO solution cannot be reached for all groups.

  • SmartVIO only – SmartVIO is tested collectively so all present SmartVIO peripherals must result in a collective validation for any of the outputs to be enabled.
  • SmartVIO hybrid mode – Each group is individually tested for SYZYGY peripherals. Within each group, if a SYZYGY peripheral is present (via detection of compliant DNA data) on any of the ports within that group, the SmartVIO solution is used to determine the voltage setting. If no SYZYGY peripherals are detected within the group, then the corresponding Device Setting (e.g. XEM7320_VIO1_VOLTAGE) is used.
  • Device Settings only – SmartVIO settings from the peripherals are ignored, only the device settings are used. Also note that, in this mode, SYZYGY peripheral discovery is not performed so the corresponding device settings that identify each peripheral are not populated.

Peripheral Mounting

ERRATA NOTICE

Revision 20171003 of the PCB has an incorrect mounting hole diameter for the SYZYGY ports. Please see the Product Lifecycle page for more details.

SYZYGY peripherals can be mechanically connected together using the carrier and peripheral mounting holes. Below are some suggested mounting hardware options. The Standard Hardware mounting kit is available from the accessories section of our store.
