Systems
Voltage Sense
We will have isolated voltage feedback. The voltage will be transmitted via a SPI ADC over a digital isolator.

Current Limit
To try to save our silicon, we have decided to try to limit the current using a sense resistor, a comparator, and some logic.
Current Sense Resistor

- Manufacturer - Ohmite
- Manufacturer Part Number - FCSL90R010FER
- Cost - $1.20

Isolation
We need to isolate the voltage sense, and the kick signals. This gives
- Sense (SPI)
- CLK - IN
- CS - IN
- Dout - OUT
- Trigger
- Chip - IN
- Kick - IN
So we need 4/1 in/out isolation
Isolator

Power Supply
The DC/DC converter needs to power the
- ADC - 5V 500uA
- Isolation - 5V 6mA
- Comparator - 5V 5mA (ballpark)
- Comparator Logic - 5V 5mA (7400 series logic, probably almost nothing)
- IGBT driver - 12V 10mA (be sure to bypass Vbat with 4.7uF ceramic, 47uF tantalum)
So lets shoot for around 5V 50mA LDO and around 12V 100mA DC/DC converter

Solenoids
See the Solenoid Development page for more information. For logistics reasons, we may purchase a solenoid as we did last year and take it apart for use in our mounting apparatus.
