Project OverviewDevelop a self-contained network of tracked surface drifters for near coastal application.
HousingElectronics
Power SystemGPS receiverRadio transceiverMicrocontroller
Any of these drifters within range of the base station will then be able to send all the information from all other drifters, thus providing a self-contained drifter network. Many such drifters are deployed globally by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as part of the world climate observation program.

FR5725
According to Texas Instruments FRAM has the following advantages over flash: 1-- Consumes 250 times less power than flash: 9μA @12kB/s versus 220μA @12kB/s for flash 2-- Unified memory block can be dynamically configured as program, data, or info memory 3-- Can write 100 times faster than flash: 1400kB/s @ 730μA versus 12kB/s @ 2200μA 4-- Significantly larger write tolerance than flash: approx. 10 billion times more cycles 5-- Since it uses crystals instead of charge it's not susceptible to radiation 6-- Higher security and robustness due to its virtually undetectable write cycles 7-- Two Universal Serial Connection Interfaces as opposed to only one

Power SystemsOverviewLow Power ConsumptionEach must be able to operate on 3.3V maximum.The drifter network will be designed to use the least
amount of power when transmitting dataThe power supply will be selected in order to supply the
adequate amount of amp-hours in order to provide enough current for each electrical component to be operational throughout its 15 day deployment.
24
Power SystemsCurrent Component Selection PROGRESS: Xbee
Operation Voltage: 3.0 -3.6VDC Current Draw:
Transmitting current: 256mA Receiving Current: 50 mA
Transmission Frequency: every 2.16 min @ 10000 GPS fixes
GPS module Will be selected for low power consumption and operate at a maximum of 3.3V. (Based
on chart on previous slide the current drawn from GPS is approximately 29mA) Microcontroller
Operation Voltage: 1.8V to 3.6V Active mode: 230uA Standby Mode: 0.5uA
25
Power SystemsTesting/ VerificationThe testing of this task will include a number of power
consumption tests. First, each electrical component will be attached separately to a multimeter or oscilloscope to validate that the component is operating within its electrical specifications.
Second, based on the results in the previous step the results can be then used to tweak network parameters such as transmission time or microprocessor algorithms in an attempt to lower power consumption and increase theoretical operation time.
26
Power SystemsTime of Operation15 days of operation = 360 hours of operationRequired GPS fixes: 10,000Number of Fixes in 15 days: GPS fix every 2.16 min or 129.9 secFCC rule: The average time of occupancy at any frequency must
not be larger than 0.4 seconds when using the frequency hopping spread spectrum.
Maximum current drawn per transmission/reception of all electrical components: Approximately 336mA
27
Power SystemsWorst Case Scenario: 0.4 sec for each
transmission/reception336 mA for 1.11 hours of ACTIVE operation
sleep mode considered negligible (uA range).336 mA × 1.11 hours = 372.96 mAh
Battery needed would be something with 3.3 V and greater than 372.96 mAh

Power SystemsPower supply considerations:(1)Lithium IonLithium Manganese NickelLithium PolymerNickel Cadmium (NiCad)Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)Photovoltaics
30
Power SystemsLithium Ion Battery:These batteries are able to handle excessive current applications.Lithium batteries are great for long-term use. Lithium batteries also perform well in extreme temperatures.Increased life cycles over Nickel cadmium (NiCad) and Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) batteries.Lithium ion batteries are also cheaper to manufacture than lithium
polymer batteries, so when cost is a factor, lithium ion is the choice.Much lower self-discharge rate than Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries.Wide variety of shapes and sizes efficiently fitting the devices they
power.
31
Power SystemsIdeal Battery Configuration
•Parallel configuration would be ideal to increase the amount of Amp-Hours to supply the adequate amount of current to Microcontroller, GPS module and Radio Transceiver for a 15 day period.

Power SystemsVoltage regulation
If battery chosen has a nominal voltage of more than 3.3 V, a voltage regulator will need to be implemented to maximize battery life and supply the correct operating voltage to the components.
33
Power SystemsPCB protectionLithium Ion batteries must connect to a protection circuit
module to protect Li-Ion Battery from overcharge, over discharge and to prevent accidental battery explosion due to its extra high energy density.
