Overview Introduction Scorecard Additional Accomplishments Plans Issues/Concerns Conclusions September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering
Introduction Stereo input, 2.1 Output Much more efficient that typical amplifiers Switching rather than linear Using dsPIC to do DSP filtering September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering
Introduction September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering
Scorecard Develop idea for project Put together Functional Specifications Made contact with industry rep for guidance September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering
Other accomplishments Some successful SPICE runs Project Plan 0.9 completed Heard back from Logitech September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering
Plans Define more specific needs for parts Define details of feedback loop, DSP Run more PSPICE simulations Work on DSP pic code Output filters designed September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering
Plans continued… September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering

Concerns/Issues Only 12-bit ADC Switching Noise Use separate 16-bit ADC Switching Noise Design better filter Putting 10+ amps through proto-board Feedback loop Use Full Bridge September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering
Conclusions We appear to be on schedule We are making contacts in the industry for life after UP We are excited to build an amp so we can have our party in the spring. Does anyone have a question? September, 2006 University of Portland School of Engineering
