• Rs: there are three pins for Rs (R set ).ComponentsThe MAX890L is the same model as planed for the flight model. Capacitors <strong>and</strong> resistors areleaded components.For Rs, two potentiometers were used in series, one <strong>of</strong> 0to100Ω <strong>and</strong> one <strong>of</strong> 0to10kΩ. Accesspins were soldered on the terminals <strong>of</strong> 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(+) <strong>and</strong> the “ON/OF F ′′ (it ison when the circuit is on), <strong>and</strong> one between the In(+) <strong>and</strong> 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 st<strong>and</strong>ard, the real size <strong>of</strong> the PCB in theCubeSat. The design <strong>of</strong> the engineering model is supposed to be close to the design <strong>of</strong> theflight model. The engineering model integrates all the so far developed systems. It also canintegrate features devoted to tests, e.g. jumpers <strong>and</strong> test points.There are several reasons to make a real-scale prototype:• The electronical behavior <strong>of</strong> 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 <strong>of</strong> the engineering model can be found in the Appendix C.6.3.1 Included systems <strong>and</strong> interfacesThe engineering model <strong>of</strong> the EPS card was produced during this work. The following systemswere included in the design:• The dissipation system.• The 3.3V, 5V, <strong>and</strong> 7.2V converters with their input filters.93
