eV-TEK, or Telemetry for
Electric Karts, is a tool
for collecting and
transmitting electric
go-kart parameters in
a race situation.
The collected data can
help the driver and pit
crew optimize vehicle
performance and
ultimately win races.

data

Op-Amps – LM324
 Operates from single 5v supply
 Low supply currents (700μA per amplifier)
 Low cost

Current sense amp – INA148
 Inputs need not be referenced to circuit ground
 Large common-mode input voltage range

External ADC – MCP3204
 Needed extra ADC channels
 This IC inexpensive and meets speed/resolution needs

Battery Management Micro – PIC18F4423
 13 ADC channels w/ 12-bit resolution
 Easily obtained
 Mature technology (few silicon errata items)

Main Micro – PIC32MX575F256L
 6 UARTs, product familiarity

Wireless – XBee Pro 900MHz
 6 mile range, sufficient data transfer speed

Main Packaging
 Aluminum
 Aerodynamic
 Sits in front of driver on
roll cage
 Detachable faceplate
holds main board
 Driver displays
 Wiring connection at
rear

Battery Management
 Stand-alone package
 Plastic case provides
electric isolation
 Slots for battery leads
and serial line to main
controller

Voltage Follower
 Acts to increase input
impedance of ADC
channels
 Allows the use of large
divider resistor values
for low current drain

Battery Micro
 Digitizes and scales
battery voltages via
simple code
 Integrates current flow
over time to obtain
battery charge

External ADC
 Used to increase
number of ADC channels
available
 Interfaces to battery
microcontroller over SPI

Main microc0ntroller
 Can run up to 80MHz =
80MIPS
 Collects and processes
data from battery packs
and sensors; logs;
transmits to pit area

Power supply
 Converts 12V to 5V and




3.3V
High-efficiency
switchmode regulator
for 12->5V conversion
Linear LDO for 5->3.3V
Maximum power
dissipation ~2.4W
Large copper pours on
PCB for heatsinking

Optical isolation
 Battery monitors float
with respect to main
control board
 1kV of isolation
provided; we require
~50V of isolation
 Servo motors also
isolated “just in case”
 Side benefit: 3.3V<->5V
conversion

XBee module
 Appears as serial port to
PIC32
 Hardware flow control
pins used to minimize
risk of buffer overflow

LED Drivers
 TLC5917
 Similar to 74HC595 but
includes constantcurrent output drivers
 Ease PCB routing – 3
wire bus instead of 13

USB-Serial converter
 Makes USB appear as
UART for PIC32
 Eases software, PCB
layout
 Mature product, most
errata fixed by
manufacturer

DataFlash IC
 2MB EEPROM-like
device for data logging
 Simple SPI interface;
faster and more versatile
than SD card
 Data made available for
download via USB
interface

Voltage followers
 Mostly uninterrupted
ground plane for noise
rejection
 Decoupling capacitor
very close to op-amps –
vital for stability

Current monitor
 Completely
uninterrupted ground
plane
 Voltage reference IC and
decoupling caps very
close to op-amp

Digital components
 Separated from analog
components
 As many extra micro
pins as practical padded
out
 Decoupling capacitors as
close as practical to each
power pin

electrically close to chip
 Every pin is padded out
for debugging and/or
expansion

precision oscillator
module, though it
should not be required

top of continuous
ground plane, and high
dI/dt nodes are very
short
 Linear regulator has
many vias to copper
plane for heatsinking
 Sufficient capacitance
nearby for low ripple

Optical Isolation
 Physically separate from
most other critical
interfaces
 Keepout areas near
battery connectors –
physical isolation is
several times what is
required

 Antenna connection is
as far from other
components as possible
 Capacitor located
nearby to provide
current pulses during
RX->TX mode switches

