Title:
Intelligent Power Switch (iSwitch)
Agreement Number:
20STDPL04
Agreement Value:
$108,476.00
Agreement Date:
Jul 8, 2020 - Mar 31, 2021
Description:
This project focuses on the development of an Intelligent Power Switch (Intelligent Switch) for use in stratospheric balloon power sub-systems. The Intelligent Switch will provide autonomous output load protection in both short circuit and over current cases, as well as autonomously shut down during an overvoltage or undervoltage condition. In addition, an integrated telemetry system will provide on demand voltage, current, power and temperature for each switch via a serial interface. The Intelligent Switch will simplify the design of stratospheric balloon power subsystems by integrating autonomous load safety features with telemetry and command via a serial bus interface.
