AMDC is a platform that provides relevent interfaces which can be used to control power electronics. The AMDC hardware is a PCB that serves as a carrier card for a PicoZed SoM.
The provided interfaces include:
- 48 digital output channels (able to provide PWM signals for 8 three phase, two level inverters)
- 8 analog input channels (+- 10V differential input)
- 4 SPI ports with differential input and output lines
- 2 quadrature encoder input
Detailed documentaion is available about the hardware of the AMDC. Check it out...
This project originated as Nathan Petersen's Independent Study project during Spring 2018, advised by Prof. Eric Severson. It is now actively maintained by the Severson Research Group as a hardware platform for the AMDC system. Open source firmware is available on GitHub under the AMDC-Firmware repository.
The altium directory contains all files pertaining to schematics / board design in Altium Designer. These files should be the latest working copy of the project.
The REVyyyymmdd* directories represent snapshots of the project that were used to produce a physical PCB. These directories contain the Gerber, Drill (Excellon format), Bill of Materials (XLS), and Schematic (PDF) files.
