Efforts verified signal integrity within a high density, high speed multi-layer printed circuit board. - Investigated the embedded design between the Infineon microcontroller and FPGA. Revealed, upon startup, a status message is received by the FPGA but no response to microcontroller; thus, an interrupt state occurs and the perfusion system reboots. - Analyzed the design providing power to the perfusion system. Efforts showed the watchdog would time-out and reboot the perfusion system because the microcontroller would not strobe the watchdog within the time limit of three minutes. - Analyzed the architectures to the firmware of the embedded design. Efforts revealed the root cause to the problem. - Reported the FPGA was missing the code to translate PCI over to CAN protocols. Efforts gave management accurate information for deciding on future options to mitigate the obsolescence of the AMCC S5920. JAMES Page 2 of 2 ELECTRICAL DESIGN ENGINEER
