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

Caps
We are gonna shoot for between 4000-5000uF by using two of the following
- Vendor - Digikey
- Vendor Part Number - P13180-ND
- Manufacturer - Panasonic
- Manufacturer Part Number - ECE-T2EP272EA
- Cost - $12.86 quant 10
- Description - 2700uF kicker capacitors
- datasheet
- digikey
Trigger
The trigger system discharges the stored energy in the caps to either the chipper or kicker
IGBT
Rated 330V 180A. One for kicker, one for chipper
- Vendor - Digikey
- Vendor Part Number - FGA180N33ATTU-ND
- Manufacturer - Fairchild
- Manufacturer Part Number - FGA180N33ATTU
- Cost - $3.39
- digikey
- Fairchild FGA180N33ATDTU link
IGBT Driver
Non-inverting MOSFET 1.5A Drivers
- Vendor - Digikey
- Vendor Part Number - TC4427ACOA-ND
- Manufacturer - Microchip
- Manufacturer Part Number - TC4427
- Cost - $1.01
- digikey
- datasheet
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.
Comparator
- Vendor - Digikey
- Vendor Part Number - MAX932CSA+-ND
- Manufacturer - Maxim
- Manufacturer Part Number - MAX932
- Cost - $3.15
- digikey
- datasheet
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
- Vendor - Mouser
- Vendor Part Number - 634-SI8451AA-A-IS1
- Manufacturer - Si Labs
- Manufacturer Part Number - SI8451AA-A-IS1
- Cost - $2.43
- mouser
- datasheet
Isolated DC/DC Converter
The DC/DC converter needs to power the
- ADC - 5V 500uA
- Isolation - 5V 6mA
- Comparator
- Comparator Logic
- IGBT driver - ???
Solenoid
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.
