6.2.1 The second dissipation systemThe second dissipation system has been designed in section 5.4. A prototype was made onbreadboard, based on this design. A picture of the prototype is shown in the Appendix C.TerminalsThe terminals are:• Vbus: it represents the batteries bus.• GND: the ground.• Base: connected to the base of the transistor for measurements.• Collector: connected to the collector of the transistor.ComponentsThe transistor is the model that will be used on the flight model. It is in close contact witha large heat dissipater (the transistor may have to dissipate up to 2W of power).The TL1431 is a old plastic-case model (LP package).The shunt resistor is no included on the breadboard. It must be connected between the“collector” and the “GND” terminals. If the circuit is used without the shunt resistor, thetransistor cannot play its role and the shunt current will entirely pass through the TL1431.The maximum current in the TL1431 is 100mA.The resistors are axial leaded components.6.2.2 The protection circuitA prototype of the protection circuit (presented in section 5.5) was made on breadboard. Apicture of the prototype is shown in the Appendix.TerminalsThe terminals are:• In: there are two rows of pins, the upper pins for input (+) and the lower pins for input(-).• Out: there are two rows of pins, the upper pins for output (+) and the lower pins foroutput (-).• On: this pin is connected to the “ON/OF F ′′ input.• Fault: this pin is connected to the “F AULT ′′ output.92

• Rs: there are three pins for Rs (R set ).ComponentsThe MAX890L is the same model as planed for the flight model. Capacitors and resistors areleaded components.For Rs, two potentiometers were used in series, one of 0to100Ω and one of 0to10kΩ. Accesspins were soldered on the terminals of each potentiometer.There is a pull-up resistor on the “ON/OF F ′′ input.connected to ground to activate the circuit.There is a pull-up resistor on the “F AULT ′′ output.The corresponding pin must beTwo LED were included in the circuit: one between the In(+) and the “ON/OF F ′′ (it ison when the circuit is on), and one between the In(+) and the “F AULT ′′ (it is on when thecircuit is in fault mode).6.3 The engineering modelThe engineering model is a PCB in the PC104 standard, the real size of the PCB in theCubeSat. The design of the engineering model is supposed to be close to the design of theflight model. The engineering model integrates all the so far developed systems. It also canintegrate features devoted to tests, e.g. jumpers and test points.There are several reasons to make a real-scale prototype:• The electronical behavior of a circuit can be influenced by geometrical characteristics,such as the distance between components. Some measurements will only make sense ona real scale prototype.• Mechanical tests can be performed.• The on-scale model is the only way to know with precision the surface occupied by thecircuits.A picture of the engineering model can be found in the Appendix C.6.3.1 Included systems and interfacesThe engineering model of the EPS card was produced during this work. The following systemswere included in the design:• The dissipation system.• The 3.3V, 5V, and 7.2V converters with their input filters.93
