9. The chosen microcontroller is the MSP430F2274-Q1 for the following reasons:  Ultra-Low power  Code Composer Studio IDE  Qualified for Automotive applications  Sponsor provided the MSP430 Target board and USB programmer  Temperature sensor

11.  Ambient temperature Sensor: ◦ Housed on main thermostat circuit board. ◦ Provides feedback to the user via LCD screen  Evaporator temperature Sensor: ◦ Remote sensor location. ◦ 15ft away from main board as required by the customer. Its purpose is to keep track of the rate at which the evaporator is cooling. ◦ Prevents the evaporator from freezing over. ◦ Feeds data back to the MCU to be that will be used to improve efficiency.  Auxiliary Temperature Sensor: ◦ Remote sensor location (<15ft away from main board). ◦ Feeds data back the MCU to be used to improve efficiency.

13. The chosen temperature sensors were the ADT7320 for the following reasons:  Very high accuracy rating on a wide temperature scale.  We can expect reliable temperature readings in a cold environment such as the evaporator.  User programmable with multiple features  Temperature resolution up to 16-bits.

15.  Extending The SPI Bus for Long Distance Communication: ◦ For the remote sensors, it is possible that propagation delay could be significant enough to hinder data transmission. ◦ Once we attempt to conduct SPI communications at distances greater than 15 feet, we will know if propagation delay will require a hardware solution. ◦ If this turns out to be the case, dual differential transceivers will be used to refresh the clock signal protect the data transfer from noise. ◦ If the signal is fed back to the master from the slave, data transmissions between the master and slave will occur at the same delayed clock signal.
