3. S360 is the power supplies and battery charger for entire system. S360 also has connector for external signals as S350 has limited area for external connectors. S360 has following capabilities
-
+12.0V 3.0A
-
+12.0 V 1.5A clean / to drive laser cards/
-
+12.0V 1.0 A separate power rail for Kontron CPU
-
+5.0 V 5 A
-
+3.3V 5.0 A
-
-12 V 0.5 A
-
Battery charge 3or 4 cell and 4.1A4.2V per cell voltage options 4A max current.
-
Internal EEPROM for calibration storage
-
Internal ADC for rail check
4. C155 NEL (C156 EagleYard) Laser driver with same functionalities as standard C150 driver. All TEC control will be done with build-in digital PID. Each card will have flash memory to store serial number and base test results.
-
Laser current control 0-200 mA,3 V compliance voltage, 200 kHz bandwidth, 4 nA/sqrt(Hz) noise.
-
Laser TEC control +/-1.0A, 3V compliance voltage with digital PID
-
Current monitor
-
Laser photodiode monitor
5. RedWave Labs provides divers/firmware, BSP for S350 and S360, full communication compiled libraries and drivers for S350 and all plug-in cards, including laser drivers. Extensive example code will be provided for all relevant APIs.
