Coil Switch LED Switch Photodiode Monitor”Transimpedance Amplifier, TIA” Linear Laser Driver How [not] To Develop a Circuit FPGA Development Overview FPGA Pockels Cell Controller Development Sequence Write and simulate firmware, select FPGA (Quartus). Design circuit – A.K.A. schematic capture (Eagle). Layout PCB – A.K.A. CAD (Eagle). Order components, then PCB. Assemble and test supplies, assemble remainder. Load config chip. Write software/GUI (LabView/Windows, VisualC/Basic). Test hardware, firmware and software. Modify hardware, firmware and/or software, reload config chip. Repeat 8-9 ad nauseam or until can go no further. Spin (revise and reorder) PCB, repeat from 4. FPGA Based Pockels Cell Driver Suggested Components ? The End ? Next: 5. Need suggestions for subject(s) to focus on: Spice (circuit simulation)? Op Amps? Transistors? FPGAs? More sample circuits? Power supplies? Micros? Thanks for coming! * D1 is “flyback” diode, to absorb energy from coil when Q1 turns off. Without it, Q1 would be destroyed the first time it turns off. R1 forces Q1 into cutoff if nothing connected to BNC. Q1 is “logic level” – VGS(thresh) is ≤ +2V, the minimum TTL high voltage. Separate resistors R3-4 because voltage drop across each LED chain is not identical. Single resistor would result in deterministic total current but indeterminate current distribution. R3 and R4 voltages are 10V – 5*1.5V, therefore ILED = 50mA. Can ignore Q2’s RDS(on) of 0.025?(max) at VGS = +5V, insignificant compared to R3-4. PD1 generates current at typically 0.5-1A/W. Current generated by PD1 is mirrored through R5 by IC1. Full scale is 5V (5mA,
