Magnetic Field Monitoring System Design: Engineering Milestones and Concerns

1. Project BoringMMMM (Magnetic-field Monitoring MOSIS Machine) Team Mr. Geoffrey Friason Mr. Michael Braun Mr. Eric Yost • Advisors • Dr. Aziz Inan • Dr. Peter Osterberg • Industry Representatives • Mr. Wes Mickanin • Mr. Jared A. Hay University of Portland School of Engineering

2. Overview • Recap October’s Program Review • Scorecard • Additional Accomplishments • Plans, Milestones, etc. • Issues/Concerns • Conclusions University of Portland School of Engineering

3. October PR Recap • Plan for November • Complete MOSIS design (‘tape-out’) • Start PIC programming • Request part samples • Order parts • Concerns • Noise/mixed-signals, PIC memory, tape-out University of Portland School of Engineering

4. Scorecard • ‘Tape-out’ • Final EDIF netlist sent to Dr. Osterberg • PIC Programming • Separated tasks into three processors • Wrote some code • Samples • Requested Hall sensor samples • Parts • Ordered parts University of Portland School of Engineering

5. Additional Accomplishments • Project Plan approval • Updated website • Budget approval University of Portland School of Engineering

6. Plans (through January) • Meet all design review requirements • Unconditional approval • MOSIS Macro-model • Make sure we have/order CPLD • ABEL vs. Verilog • PIC software release (January 19th) • ENJOY THE BREAK! University of Portland School of Engineering

7. Milestones University of Portland School of Engineering

8. Concerns/Issues • Operation of Hall sensors • Test with robust magnet before break • Handling mixed-signals • Continue to play by ear University of Portland School of Engineering

9. Conclusions • Timely on milestones • Design review • PIC software design in January • Concerns • Goodbye PIC memory, MOSIS • Hello Hall sensors University of Portland School of Engineering
