Executive Summary:
Timeline
We’ve designed a ranging HIGH-SIDE current monitor, which attaches directly to their DC
supply. We use a low-resistance sense resistor and amplifier to measure the sense voltage drop.
We’ve begun characterization of this circuit on a mix of breadboard and PCB. Printed/No Lead
board would mean better components. No one would be impressed, but we could turn in what
we have and meet the bare minimum requirements.
The company wants software too.

Aliasing & Anti-Aliasing
Aliasing is a phenomenon of sampled data filters which causes two signals to
become indistinguishable from one another due to overlapping
It can occur when a signal is sampled insufficiently
Anti-Aliasing is a common practice using an anti-aliasing filter to limit, or restrict
the bandwidth to that of the Nyquist limit.
Antialiasing Filter
●
Approached the problem in a few different manners
●
LTC1564
○
Digitally controlled antialiasing filter
○
Adjustable cutoff frequency from 10kHz to 150kHz in steps of 10kHz
●
The sampling frequency for our DAQ is 48kHz, so our cutoff frequency should be roughly 24kHz.
●
Using this filter would be problematic because we would have to use either 20kHz or 30kHz, so there would be some
insufficient sampling rates.
●
MAX274
○
8th order continuous time filter
○
Can be configured in bessel, butterworth, and chebyshev models
TI’s Webench
Ended up designing a 5th-order bessel filter from scratch using TI’s Webench
software.
LTC1065
After a bit of research, we ended up finding a 5th order Bessel filter IC.
This helps immensely, and cuts down on implementation time.
LTC1065
Antialiasing filter with linear phase response
Operates from +/- 2.375V to +/-8.0V
Closely approximates a 5th order Bessel polynomial
Maximum cutoff frequency of 50kHz (controlled by an internal or external clock)
An input RC circuit can be used to attenuate incoming signals close to the filter clock frequency
LTC1065 Schematic & Tables
Digital Potentiometer
The LTC1065 will benefit from having a digital potentiometer in place of the input
resistance, Rin.
This will allow Phonon to generate different sample rates of the Bessel filter based
on a table in the LTC’s datasheet
X9111 Potentiometer
1024 resistance taps
10-bit resolution
Maximum resistance of 100kΩ
2.5-5.5V operating voltage
𝝻Controller
4 GPIO for 3 multiplexers (range and gain)
4 GPIO for serial to DAQ
3 for possible auto ranging (comparator detection)
3 for SPI to Filter
1 for Clock to Filter
Total: 15 I/O… we can use a ATmega328P!
(power up/power down behavior is very important)
DAQ (USB → Computer)

Power Circuits
Sense amplifier is self powered!
3.3 Volts for IC
24 Volts for 2nd Stage Gain (Post Processing)
Gate Driver
Voltage Regulator
Required to power extra components to precise voltages ( Mux, Anti-aliasing, optoisolators, amplifier etc.)
LM317 (3.3 V regulator) (2 V dropout)
UM7824 (24 V regulator) (2 V dropout)
This regulator is used specifically for the 2nd stage gain.
P(wasted)=(Vin-Vout)*Iout
The larger the power, the more we need a heat sink.
Ensure Stability of output voltage
Gate Driver
LTC1910
Responsible for detecting a current overload within the LTC6101.
The devices turns off in harsh environments.
This time can be adjusted by the capacitance on pin 2 (150,000*C=T(delay))
Example: .33uF resistor gives us 50ms termination
