Date: December 4th, 2012 - January 14th, 2013
Group Number: May12-28/0 - Simultaneous Co-test of DAC ADC pairs
Group Adviser & Client: Dr. Chen
Accomplishments of the Month: The analog filter design was revised with a better op-amp with higher capabilities. The layout was finalized and price quoted. Upon receiving a high quote, the board layout was modified to only include through hole vias. With that, the quote came down significantly, but was still a bit too high.
Plans for Coming Week: To remedy the high price quote, we will redesign the project using another alternative, this weeks goal is to investigate alternative methods that will result in a much cheaper design.
Pending Issues: Cost of board too high.
Individual Contributions:
Ben Magstadt: Reviewed board, added test points and revised digital area of board.
Luke Goetzke: Had the analog portion of the board reviewed, changed op-amps. Decided on US company to use for manufacturing.
Tao Chen: Reviewed design, finished layout including multilayer routing, testpoints, vias, etc.
