Overall Considerations Two boards (one for HV, one for LV) Optical Isolation Some high power traces on comm board (motors) High voltage trace spacing on power board Connector issues to motors, coil Low inductance to coilgun Thermal management and thermal pad soldering Availability of headers and extra traces for ICD Backup solder points for hard to solder parts 2/2/2011Team 6: Defender7
Microcontroller Considerations Very few, microcontroller connections are very simple. Standard bypass capacitors from data sheet. Follow design guidelines for USB bus and I2C bus. 2/2/2011Team 6: Defender8
Low Voltage Power Supply 3.3V regulator thermal management Switching 12V power rail Connector to high power board Separate 12V grounds 2/2/2011Team 6: Defender9
High Voltage Power Supply Separate AC transformer with connector. Low amperage but high rms voltage Low inductance Protection mechanisms for capacitor bank Very wide traces 2/2/2011Team 6: Defender10
Discharge Circuit IGBT offboard, screw mount Low inductance, ESR is critical Pulse rating for power only Avoiding reflection and EMI 2/2/2011Team 6: Defender11
