Final Circuit Analysis


Figure 1: Final Circuit Block Diagram

A block diagram of our final digital design can be found in Figure 1. To compare the size and cost to the analog circuit, a board space analysis and a price analysis were conducted.  The board space was found by looking up the footprint of the parts and using a standard safety factor of 1.3 to allot for spacing on the board.  These values can be found in the table below.  The total board space of the digital circuit is 38.13 mm2, less than half of the existing analog circuit.

Cost analysis was conducted by researching the cost of the individual parts used in the digital circuit.  The circuit was found to cost $1.76, which is almost $3 cheaper than the existing analog circuit.

Table 2: Board Cost

 

The diode information was found using ONsemiconductorTI was used to find the DSP, DAC, and op-amp data.  The resistors were researched using DigiKey.

The digital board space of 38.13 mm^2 is a 55% reduction from the analog board space of 83.57.  Additionally it has a cost reduction of 62.4% from $4.69 to $1.76.  This meets the cost and board space reduction requirements and is therefore a successful solution for circuit replacement.
