Minutes:

  • Circuit Discussion
    • Add header for access to Voffset cancellation circuitry
    • Slow down op-amps affter Integrator? maybe after board made
    • remove termination of EVR into CPLD, add some series resistance.
    • same for 119MHz into CPLD
    • check with Evgeny on EEIP issues for box layout
    • consider adding pi filter network between AC/DC PS and PCB
    • check PS current requirements
    • drawing numbers on front of box...
  • Toroid Manufacture Update (Tim Montagne)
    • 3 braze failures so far
    • will try new process, fire ceramic with no metal to create eutectic braze alloy
    • expect to come out of furnace next monday
    • will due pull-test to check durability, coat
      • if fails, assemble for a electrical/mechanical test and deliver to CPE
      • step back and do traditional metallization process

Action Items:

  1. M. Cecere: Adjust circuit as described above and put on v: drive, pdf's
  2. M. Cecere: Deliver netlist to Tung
  3. M. Cecere: See Jennifer about parts procurement
  4. M. Cecere: Start Software Development!
  5. M. Cecere: Continue overseeing box and cable designs
